Empowering Buying Groups with Innovative Software

We know how specific and complex buying group business needs are; that's why we developed innovative eCommerce functionality just for buying groups. With buying group specific features and customizability built in, we can create ideal group buying platforms and help you increase user engagement and business revenue.

Connect Your Business Systems

Clarity eCommerce is the only platform that can integrate with virtually any API, meaning you can connect your ERP, CRM, and other business systems for seamless, up-to-date communication.

Increase Engagement with Self-Service

Users want to manage their accounts and make purchases efficiently; give them what they want with self-service capability. Buyers and vendors can log in to manage their orders, invoices, view quote statuses, and more.

Smoother Workflows with Automation

Automated steps help speed things along and reduce human error. Data is updated across systems automatically and in real time. You can set triggers to start certain workflows, like for quotes and approvals.

Benefits of Our Buying Group Solution

Business logic workflows are fundamental to the integration, as this is where all the business processing happens. Certain events automatically activate different procedures. This means that the front-end website has real-time or batch communication with back-office application data and logic.
