Salesforce for Retail & Consumer Goods (B2B Commerce)

Empower your retail distribution network with scalable, intelligent B2B commerce and order management solutions.

The Modern Challenge in B2B Retail & Consumer Goods

Retailers and consumer goods manufacturers across the USA are navigating a fast-evolving landscape. From managing bulk orders across distribution networks to meeting partner expectations for speed and transparency—manual systems no longer cut it.

Challenges:

  • Disconnected wholesale order processes

  • Lack of real-time inventory visibility

  • Manual approvals and complex pricing

  • Limited partner self-service functionality

  • Slow, error-prone fulfillment workflows

  • Inflexible ERP integrations and siloed data

Salesforce B2B Commerce and Order Management help your business overcome these hurdles—powering personalized, scalable, and automated buying experiences tailored to every retail partner or distributor.

What Is Salesforce B2B Commerce for Retail?

Salesforce B2B Commerce Cloud is a digital commerce solution that enables consumer goods brands, wholesalers, and manufacturers to launch branded self-service storefronts for their B2B buyers.

It supports:

  • Multi-tier account pricing

  • Contract-specific catalogs

  • Bulk ordering workflows

  • AI-driven product recommendations

  • Mobile-optimized purchasing experiences

With Salesforce Experience Cloud and B2B Commerce together, your retail buyers can manage their accounts, track orders, re-order frequently purchased products, and access support—all from one branded digital portal.

Salesforce Order Management: End-to-End Fulfillment Control

Pairing Commerce Cloud with Salesforce Order Management (OMS) gives your retail or CPG business total visibility across the order lifecycle—from checkout to delivery and return.

Benefits include:

  • Real-time order tracking

  • Intelligent order routing across warehouses

  • Return & refund processing

  • Inventory source allocation

  • Automation of order status notifications

  • Integration with ERPs, carriers, and POS systems

Enable your logistics and operations team to track every wholesale shipment, route fulfillment efficiently, and resolve issues faster with Salesforce OMS.
