    Scaling B2B ordering for a fast-growing resin manufacturer

    How a productised Shopify retainer replaced offline ordering with a self-service trade experience — cutting order processing time by 55% and shifting 78% of orders to self-service.

    The challenge

    Vuba's trade customers — installers and distributors — placed orders by phone and email. Account managers rekeyed everything by hand, shipping rates were inconsistent, and repeat ordering was painful. The team needed a Shopify partner who could own the store long-term and keep shipping trade features every week without breaking peak-season stability.

    What we did

    • Set up a Shopify Plus retainer covering theme code, apps, checkout and integrations under one accountable team.
    • Built trade accounts with fast reordering, order history, tailored pricing and simplified account management inside the storefront.
    • Automated order tagging, customer segmentation, approvals and fulfilment routing to remove manual admin.
    • Replaced the shipping logic with a bespoke calculator that reflects product type, quantity and delivery location for trade orders.
