In need of a B2B order system… and more
To work with various retail partners effectively, Cockpit3D needed special features beyond what you’d expect from a typical B2B platform. These features helped manage partnerships more smoothly for both the partners and the admin.
The challenge here was handling accounting and overseeing different partnership programs together in one system.
Simplified pricing management
A key feature for admins was the “Better Groups” feature. This aimed to simplify managing pricing for various partner programs in one spot and keeping track of partner activities.
Easy order submission for partners
For partners, the main goal was to make placing orders as simple as possible. A custom photo editor became an essential tool for achieving this.
The challenge of creating such a system was exactly why Cockpit3D turned to our team for assistance at the time.

Advanced User Groups
This feature enables system admins to:
- Set different prices for different partner groups
- See which partners are doing great and which ones might be losing interest.
This way, admins can spot any issues early and suggest new strategies to those partners.
Plus, when starting a new partnership, admins can use an existing group’s settings as a template or just copy them. This means they can quickly set up the new group without having to enter all the details from scratch.
Photo Cropper
In this business, images are the main product components, so the photo editor needs to be fast and user-friendly.
The Photo Cropper we developed lets partners upload an image and see how it will appear in the final product. They can easily mark what to keep or remove with just a couple of clicks.
Shipping Estimator
Even if potential partners don’t have an account yet, they can still calculate the rough shipping cost to their address without having to log in. This helps them decide if they’re interested in working with Cockpit3D.
Advanced API
It allows resellers to integrate their websites into the system to collect orders along with manual order filling, enabling users to have everything in one place and automating business processes.
Statistics
The Statistics page is tailored differently for system administrators and partners, highlighting the information most relevant to each:
- Admins can quickly see which partner had the highest performance in any given month.
- Resellers can monitor how the cost-to-retail ratio changes over time to tweak their pricing for the best deals.
Moreover, the statistics offer insights into order trends by day and hour. So, partners can plan their staff schedules more effectively to manage workload. They can also keep an eye on how well individual staff members are doing.

Testimonial
CEO, Crystallize It Inc
The best feedback would be that they’ve managed to achieve what everyone’s been scrambling to do during COVID-19: pivot to e-commerce. Thanks to them, we’ve seen a surge in traffic on our website. That’s a big deal when all of our physical stores are closed because our site is our main revenue generator.
