Development of a Secure B2B E-Commerce Platform with SAP Integration for Construction Sector Suppliers

The client needs to organize and automate the processes of selling goods and services to partners and internal staff, ensuring secure access exclusively for authorized users. Current manual procedures hinder efficiency, limit scalability, and pose security risks, especially when integrating with existing enterprise systems.

A mid-sized construction materials and services company aiming to streamline supplier interactions and product procurement through an automated B2B online store.
