B2B & B2C
Portal Development
Custom B2B and B2C portal development for businesses that need more than an off-the-shelf platform — from multi-vendor procurement portals and supplier management systems to consumer-facing self-service portals with AI-powered personalisation and enterprise-grade security.
The Modern B2B & B2C Portal Ecosystem
The days of emailing purchase orders and logging into five separate vendor systems are over. B2B buyers now expect the same frictionless experience they get as consumers — real-time pricing, live inventory, self-service account management, and personalised product catalogues available 24/7.\n\nOn the B2C side, the standard for what a portal must do has been permanently raised by Amazon and Shopify. Any gap in search relevance, checkout speed, or post-purchase transparency is a gap your competitors are using.\n\niSkylar builds custom portal platforms that close both gaps simultaneously — a single unified commerce and relationship layer engineered for the specific complexity of your supplier network, customer base, and operational workflows.
Core Infrastructure Features
Role-Based Access & Multi-Tier Permissions
Granular permission architecture supporting buyer organisations, supplier tiers, sales agents, and admin roles — each with configurable access to pricing, catalogues, order history, and reporting without code changes.
Real-Time Inventory & Pricing Engine
Live catalogue sync across supplier feeds, ERP systems, and warehouse management platforms — displaying accurate stock levels and customer-specific contract pricing at every session, eliminating manual update cycles.
Secure Payment & Credit Management
PCI DSS-compliant payment processing with support for credit terms, purchase order workflows, net payment schedules, and consumer payment methods (card, wallet, BNPL) — all configurable per customer segment.
99.9% Uptime for High-Volume Transaction Periods
Auto-scaling cloud infrastructure tested against your peak concurrent session load — whether that is end-of-quarter procurement rushes or seasonal B2C demand spikes — with zero degradation to search and checkout performance.

Optimization
AI-Powered Personalisation Engine
Collaborative filtering and purchase history models that surface the most relevant products, categories, and promotions to each buyer — increasing average order value by 22–35% in both B2B and B2C contexts by eliminating irrelevant catalogue noise.
Intelligent RFQ & Quote Automation
NLP models that parse incoming RFQ requests, match against supplier catalogues and contract terms, and generate draft quotations for sales team review — reducing quote turnaround from days to hours while maintaining pricing accuracy.
Predictive Reorder & Demand Intelligence
ML models trained on purchase patterns, seasonal signals, and inventory levels that proactively prompt buyers with restocking recommendations before stockouts occur — improving fill rates and customer retention across B2B accounts.
