B2B buying is full of routine work. Reorders of the same products, quote requests for standard items, approvals that wait in someone's inbox. Your sales and service team spends hours on tasks that follow clear rules.
B2B buying agents take on that work for your trade customers and your own team, using the account pricing, catalog visibility, credit terms and approval chains already set in your platform and ERP.
What buying agents handle
- Reorders. Spotting regular purchase patterns and preparing reorders for approval.
- Quotes. Turning emailed or uploaded requests into quotes with the right account pricing.
- Approvals. Routing orders through the buyer's approval chain and chasing them when they stall.
- Order intake. Reading purchase orders from email or PDF and creating the order.
- Account questions. Order status, invoices and stock answered from live data.
Built on your rules
Agents work through your BigCommerce or Shopify Plus B2B setup and your ERP, such as NetSuite, so they never offer a price or term the account is not entitled to. Workflow tools like n8n tie the steps together, and every action is logged.
This sits within our omnichannel and B2B commerce service. For where to start, read AI agents in B2B ecommerce start with reordering.
