B2B Commerce and Order Management
Built for Manufacturers

Most manufacturers still capture orders by email, spreadsheet, and ERP data entry. KIBO replaces that friction with a digital layer that handles contract pricing, complex catalogs, and fulfillment orchestration across every plant, DC, and channel without ripping out your ERP.

  • Stop losing orders in email inboxes and manual ERP entry
  • Give buyers self-service ordering for even your most configurable products
  • Unify inventory and order visibility across plants, DCs, and 3PLs
  • Start with one capability or deploy the full stack

Built for Complex Operations

Manufacturing orders are complex. You’re dealing with multiple line items, multi-location inventory, strict SLAs. KIBO reduces the manual work required to manage that complexity so your team can focus on fulfilling orders.

Manufacturing Ecommerce has
Outgrown Your Tech Stack

The problems manufacturers bring to us are about fixing the operational breakdown underneath:

  • Email and manual order capture — An estimated 40% of manufacturing orders still arrive by email or spreadsheet, requiring manual ERP entry that creates errors, delays, and invisible order status.
  • Multiple ERP complexity — Plants, business units, and acquisitions often run separate ERPs, leaving no single view of orders, inventory, or demand.
  • EDI friction — Most EDI transactions still require manual exception handling, adding labor with every new trading partner.
  • Fragmented inventory visibility — Plants, DCs, and 3PLs each carry their own picture of stock, with no view of real production capacity or plant lead times.
  • Growing digital demand — Digital commerce already accounts for nearly 20% of manufacturing and distribution sales, and manufacturers without a digital ordering experience are losing ground fast.

Your ERP wasn’t designed to handle any of this. KIBO was.

Why Manufacturers Choose KIBO

Inventory Visibility

Not Just Stock Counts

Real-time view of inventory, production capacity, and plant lead times across every plant, DC, and 3PL. KIBO tracks inventory segmentation by account or channel, supports batch allocation decisions, and surfaces ATP/CTP — so your team and your buyers are always working from the same picture.

Complete Icon

Complete Solution

Commerce, Order Management, Auto-Replenishment, AI Search, Reverse Logistics, and CMS on one platform. Unlimited catalogs, sites, and price lists for every brand, region, and account.

Built for Manufacturing Reality

Today, most manufacturers manage orders through email threads, ERP manual entry, and EDI transactions. This adds cost and complexity with every new channel, customer, and plant. Most ecommerce platforms were retrofitted from B2C and weren’t built for this. KIBO is built around the complexities manufacturers actually deal with: multiple ERPs, plant lead times, capacity-based promising, EDI, and buyers who still send POs by email.

Supply Chain

Real-time inventory visibility across plants, DCs, and 3PLs, including capacity and production lead times, not just stock levels

Intelligent routing that accounts for plant capacity, regional fulfillment cost, and SLAs

Reverse logistics flows for returns, refurbishments, and asset recovery

One Platform for All Your Manufacturing Ecommerce Needs

KIBO sits above your ERP as a digital services layer. Whether you’re running one ERP or five, KIBO normalizes orders, inventory, and pricing data across all of them. Every channel, portal, and buyer works from the same source of truth.
