Modernizing B2B Commerce with Real-Time Pricing and Scale

Real-Time Pricing & Accuracy

Live, contract-aware pricing logic powered by integrated ERP services gave buyers instant, reliable quotes—reducing rework and delays.

Composable Architecture for Scale

A flexible VTEX foundation allowed SEF to consolidate multiple brands and regions into a single, governed digital ecosystem.

Enterprise-Grade PunchOut

Custom proxy middleware ensured compatibility with procurement systems like SAP Ariba, providing secure, high-performance cart transfers and session control.

Streamlined Buyer Experience

Role-based storefronts, faster load times, and data consistency improved customer confidence and increased self-service adoption.

The Challenge

SEF needed to modernize a fragmented eCommerce stack that limited scalability, slowed global operations, and made it difficult to meet enterprise procurement expectations. Outdated middleware, static pricing, and manual workflows caused inefficiencies across regions and business units.
