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.

Results from the Brands That Run on KIBO

KIBO is already orchestrating complex order operations for enterprise manufacturers and distributors, handling the inventory complexity, multi-ERP environments, and channel proliferation that legacy platforms weren’t built for.

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.

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.
