Bridging the Gap: Unleashed for Operations, Shopify for Sales
Think of Unleashed as the backstage crew—managing stock, tracking POs, and handling fulfilment. Shopify is the front-of-house—it presents your brand, manages the storefront, and captures sales.
Together, they form a solid base. Add TIDE, and you supercharge the connection between platforms. It synchronises customer-specific pricing, automates document flow (like POs and invoices), and removes the manual stitching between systems that eats up your team’s time.
Why Standard E-commerce Isn’t Enough for B2B
Most e-commerce setups are built for casual consumers. But your B2B clients? They want account-level pricing, instant access to order history, flexible payment terms, and confidence that their large-volume order won’t go astray.
Without custom workflows and smart integration, you’re left patching together processes manually. TIDE turns that patchwork into a smooth, automated pipeline between Unleashed and Shopify.
Core Benefits for B2B Sales Efficiency
Tailored Pricing and Customer-Specific Discounts
Your clients expect to see their price — not the general public’s. Unleashed enables tiered pricing structures. But how do you reflect that accurately in Shopify?
Automating Tiered Pricing from Unleashed
Unleashed handles the pricing logic; TIDE pushes that data to Shopify so the right customer sees the right deal, every time they log in.
Managing Customer Groups and Price Lists
Whether it’s dealers, distributors, or wholesale partners, group-specific pricing rules can be synced across platforms without manual updates. TIDE ensures this happens in real-time.
Streamlined Order Placement for Wholesale Clients
Your B2B buyers want speed and clarity. Complex checkout processes lose repeat business.
Enabling Quick Reorders and Bulk Purchases
Allow customers to repeat previous orders, order in bulk, or upload CSVs. Shopify handles the interface. Unleashed manages the fulfilment. TIDE ensures they stay in perfect sync.
Customer Portals for Self-Service Ordering
Give customers access to customised portals where they see their terms, product lists, and past orders. With TIDE, this information stays accurate and timely.
Inventory Management for B2B Specifics
Accurate Stock for Large Volume Orders
It only takes one stockout on a key item to jeopardise a B2B relationship. Unleashed monitors real-time inventory levels across locations.
Preventing Backorders on Critical B2B Sales
TIDE syncs stock availability instantly to Shopify, avoiding overselling and ensuring stock counts reflect actual supply.
Reserved Stock for Key Accounts (if applicable)
You can use Unleashed to earmark inventory. TIDE makes sure Shopify respects those allocations.
Backorder and Pre-Order Management
Even B2B buyers accept pre-orders if lead times are clear and reliable.
Clear Communication of Lead Times
With Unleashed tracking inbound stock and TIDE syncing those timelines to the front-end, customers get realistic delivery expectations.
Partial Shipments and Invoice Management
Unleashed supports staged shipments. TIDE keeps Shopify updated on fulfilment status and ensures invoices match what’s delivered.
Improving B2B Operational Workflows
Automated Purchase Order (PO) to Sales Order Conversion
Every time a customer sends a PO, it’s a potential admin headache. Not with the right setup.
Reducing Manual Data Entry Errors
TIDE can convert a customer PO submitted via Shopify into a sales order within Unleashed, reducing re-keying mistakes and speeding up the fulfilment process.
Efficient Invoicing and Payment Processing
Matching payments to partial shipments or multiple orders shouldn’t be a spreadsheet nightmare.
Integration with Accounting Systems (e.g., Xero, QuickBooks)
TIDE can integrate with your accounting platform, passing financial data cleanly from Unleashed, so invoicing and reconciliation are smooth.
Enhanced Reporting for B2B Sales Performance
Want to know who your top clients are? What products they reorder? Where you might grow?
Analyzing Customer Order History
With everything synced, you can build reports showing average order frequency, volume, and value.
Identifying Key B2B Accounts
Spot trends and highlight which customers deserve white-glove treatment — and which might be ready for a sales call.
