B2B and wholesale

Your buyer knows what they need. Your webshop shows them a product code.

So they call sales instead of ordering online. Cernel turns every ERP and supplier line into product data buyers can search and order from.

Your ERPMUG PORC WHT 340ML 6/CT

One line as your ERP holds it, and the name and pack a buyer reads once Cernel has filled the fields. Example values.

Why buyers call instead

They would rather order online. Your product data won't let them.

67% of B2B buyers prefer a rep-free buying experience (Gartner sales survey, March 2026). They come to your webshop with a spec in mind and leave with a phone number.

  • The record reads like a code

    GLV NIT BLK XL 100/BX made sense on the phone. A buyer searching your webshop for black nitrile gloves finds nothing, so they call your sales team.

    A glossary of your own terms turns every abbreviation into a name buyers search for.

  • Per piece, per box or per carton?

    One supplier sells per sleeve, the next per carton. When the unit hides in the name, buyers order the wrong quantity and you write a credit note.

    Pack size and order unit become fields of their own on every line.

  • Too many lines to check by hand

    Hundreds of thousands of lines, hundreds of suppliers, fixed value lists in several languages. Nobody has the people to check every one, and a wrong standard is a liability.

    Review steps check every value against your rules, and a person sees only what fails.

Pack size and order unit

Per sleeve, per box, per carton. Is that price per cup or per pack?

Follow one paper cup from three suppliers, from your ERP to the price a buyer reads in your shop.

The same paper cup from three suppliers, at €3.90, €69 and €74. What one price buys hides in the line: SLV, box, CT. Is that per cup or per pack?

How it works

From an ERP line to a product a buyer can order. What happens to one line.

Cernel works next to the systems you already have. Blue is an agent at work, yellow is your team deciding, green is done.

  1. 01Comes in

    Lines come in from your ERP

    Send them as a file, or push them over the API with your own identifiers and fields. PIM systems we integrate with connect both ways.

  2. 02An agent works

    Your words, not ours

    Your glossary, naming rules and brand voice are stored once in Cernel. Every agent reads them, so NIT becomes nitrile the way your team writes it.

  3. 03An agent works

    One agent per field

    Name, pack size, order unit, material and size each get their own agent, picking from your value lists. Agents can read the supplier's page on sites you allow; a standard no source states stays empty.

  4. 04Your team decides

    Checked before it goes live

    You choose which values go live automatically and which get a review step; review steps check every value and only ask a person when something fails or needs a decision.

  5. 05Done

    Back to your systems

    Approved values go back to the shop and PIM systems we integrate with by themselves. Your ERP picks them up over the API, and partner catalogues get a file in their own columns.

FAQ

Questions B2B distributors ask us.

  • Do we need a PIM for distributors, or is our ERP enough?

    The ERP is enough to start, and that is common. Send the lines as a file, or push them in over the API with your own fields and identifiers, and your ERP picks up the approved values the same way. If you run a PIM, Cernel works with it: PIM systems we integrate with connect both ways, and any other through the API or files.

  • What happens to our prices, stock and customer terms?

    They stay in the systems that own them. Cernel works on product content: names, specs, pack size and order unit, so every price your shop shows next to them reads clearly.

  • Can our customers' procurement platforms use the data?

    Yes. Punch-out catalogues and partner portals take the approved product data as a file in their own columns, saved as a template you reuse, or over the API.

  • We sell half a million lines. Can Cernel handle that?

    Yes. You run it category by category, in runs of tens of thousands of products, starting where search traffic and reorders are. Each run shows its size before it starts, and later passes can fill only what is still empty.

  • Who can change an agent, and can we see what happened?

    Everyone on your team can build and change agents, run enrichment and review values. Admins also manage integrations, users, platform settings and API keys. Every value shows how it was made (enriched, manual or imported), manual edits show who made them, and earlier versions can be restored.
