Direction for Cmsmart B2B Ecommerce: a UX prototype with fictional data.

What B2B User Account does for your B2B clients
The Cmsmart B2B account adds a Quotes area, a My designs grid with search, rename and Order again, and proof and print-file status on each order, inside the customer account. Company features such as teams and approval queues are in early access and stated as such on the page.

The problem
Buyers call because the account cannot answer
Where is my proof? Can I order the same banner again? What did you quote last month? Every call is a question the account area should answer.
Saved designs are hard to find
Quotes live in email
Buyers cannot see if artwork passed or which file goes to print
Repeat jobs are rebuilt from scratch

Custom development is a strength, not a gap: most B2B portals we deliver combine the plugin with features built for one business. UX prototype with fictional data. It shows the direction of Cmsmart B2B Ecommerce, which is in development; it is not a shipping feature.

Excellent service for the right price!
- Fast support by chat / video!
Happy to work with people like Chuong, always ready to fix all needs.
Hope to work for many years with them.
The website is very well made. However, I would like to point out the quick response of the staff, especially Ms. Andrea, who solved all our problems very quickly and kindly. Thanks.
NBDesigner is a very robust plugin for printing shops. It may take a bit of time to learn, as I am, but the support team is there to help. I've been in printing 30 years and I am impressed with how the developers have thought this plugin through. It has everything.
Each module says what ships in the plugin, what is in early access and what we build. Together they make a B2B portal on WooCommerce. See the B2B overview.
Straight answers about B2B User Account, checked against the plugin.
Can business buyers save designs for later?
Yes. The My designs grid in My Account has search, sort, rename and an Order again button, since version 2.12.0.
Can buyers see proof status?
Yes. Since 2.12.0 the order detail shows the buyer the proof and print-file status.
Are team accounts and approvals available?
Not in the plugin. Teams and approval queues are part of the Cmsmart B2B Ecommerce package, in early access, and we build them today as custom development.
Can buyers reorder from the account?
Yes. Buyers use Order again on a past order or in My designs, and the design, options and files come back into the cart.
Where do buyers see quotes?
In a Quotes area in My Account, added in version 2.12.0, with status filters and the detail of each quote.
