Everything your buyers use today

Account pricing, quick order and approvals, all in the app

Your app needs company accounts, negotiated pricing, credit terms, quote requests and approval chains, usually connected to an ERP. MobiLoud does all of this: simply by bringing over what already works on your website.

Company accounts and roles

Buyers sign in to their company account and work within the roles and permissions you set on your site.

Account and contract pricing

Negotiated prices, tiered discounts and price lists show for each account, straight from your platform or ERP.

Quick order and reorder

Quick-order forms, order history, saved lists and reorder buttons, working as they do on your site.

Quotes and approvals

Quote requests, purchase orders and approval chains, handled by the same flows your buyers use today.

Credit terms and invoices

Payment on account, credit limits and invoice history, alongside card payments at checkout.

Large catalogs and search

Thousands of SKUs with the search, filters and spec sheets your buyers rely on to find the exact part.

Order status and delivery

Order tracking, delivery updates and pickup booking, from the systems your site connects to.

ERP and back-office systems

Stock, pricing and order data from NetSuite, SAP, Microsoft Dynamics or your own ERP, through your site's existing integrations.

Works with tools like:

NetSuite SAP Salesforce HubSpot OroCommerce Avalara Klaviyo Zendesk

...and every other tool on your site. See all integrations

MobiLoud vs the alternatives

Most app builders stop where B2B starts

Typical no-code app builders are made for consumer stores, not the complexity of a B2B site. A custom native app can do everything you need, but at a prohibitive cost. MobiLoud gives you everything you need, at a cost that makes sense.

MobiLoud

  • Built from your existing B2B storefront
  • Accounts, pricing and approvals working at launch
  • Catalog and pricing updated once, in your systems
  • Monthly pricing, no revenue share
  • Live in 6 to 8 weeks

Template app builders

  • Designed for consumer storefronts
  • Company accounts and contract pricing rarely supported
  • Your catalog rebuilt in their editor
  • Some charge 1.75 to 2.5% of in-app sales
  • B2B features waiting on their product team

Custom native

  • An engineering team integrating your platform and ERP
  • Accounts, pricing and approvals rebuilt from scratch
  • A separate codebase and release cycle
  • $250K to $1M+ a year, fully loaded
  • 6 to 12 months to launch

What an app does for B2B brands

Make your company the easiest supplier to order from

Your buyers reorder the same products again and again, often on the go. An app puts your business on their phone, and gives you a direct line to reach them between orders.

Let buyers reorder from wherever they work

Your buyers place orders between other jobs, wherever they happen to be. With your app on their phone, they're signed in to their company account, with their order history, pricing and saved lists a tap away.

Take orders off the phone and out of the inbox

Every order that arrives by phone or email takes your team time to key in. An app gives buyers a faster way to order for themselves, check order status and book pickups, so your team spends that time selling.

Stay the supplier they check first

Your buyers compare suppliers on price and availability, and can switch easily. An icon on their home screen, plus push for price drops, new lines and restocked items, keeps your company the first place they look.

Tell buyers first when supply changes

Price changes, lead times, shortages and new lines matter to your buyers, and email is easy to miss. Push puts the update on their lock screen the moment it's live, with a link straight to the product or their account.

The operating model

Keep your B2B stack exactly as it is

Accounts, pricing and catalogs stay in your platform and ERP. Your team keeps managing them there, the app reflects every change, and we take care of the builds, store submissions and updates.

Your team

Manages accounts, pricing and catalog as today

  • Customer accounts, roles and price lists, in your platform or ERP
  • New products, spec sheets and catalogs, published on your site
  • Quotes, approvals and credit terms, handled by your existing workflows
  • Promotions and account offers for app users, set up alongside the rest

Our team

Looks after the app end to end

  • Design, build and QA for your iOS and Android apps
  • Getting both apps approved by Apple and Google, listed under your company's accounts
  • Compatibility with every new OS, SDK and app store requirement
  • Push notification setup, plus campaign advice
  • A rollout plan for installs: email to your accounts, sales rep introductions, site banners and QR codes on invoices and deliveries
  • Strategy and performance reviews (on Enterprise)

IT, ERP and data

Your ERP, access rules and buyer data stay with you

Your app runs on your live B2B site, so it works on top of the backend you already have. MobiLoud doesn't keep a database of your buyers' personal data.

Your ERP stays the source of truth

Stock, pricing and order data keep coming from your ERP, through your site's existing integrations. There's no second integration to build or keep in sync.

Gated catalogs stay gated

If your catalog or prices are only for signed-in, approved buyers, the app keeps them that way, with the same login and approval rules as your site.

Roles and approvals carry over

If your site sets roles, spending limits or approval chains for company users, the app follows them. A buyer who needs sign-off on the web needs it in the app too.

No buyer data stored with us

Buyer accounts, addresses and order history stay in your platform and ERP. MobiLoud doesn't keep a database of your buyers' personal data, and the app follows your site's privacy setup.

App store review for login-only apps

If only approved accounts can use your app, Apple and Google still need to sign in to review it. We handle the submission, including the review account they ask for.

Your IT team in the loop

We work with your IT and security teams on anything that touches accounts or integrations, and plan the launch around their review.

Enterprise procurement

We can deliver everything your legal, security and finance teams will ask for:

Read our Data Processing Agreement
  • Data Processing Agreement and GDPR documentation
  • An SLA with 24/7 support and an uptime commitment (on Enterprise)
  • Custom contracts, redlines and payment terms
  • Payment by invoice or bank transfer

The process

From kickoff to your buyers' phones in 6 to 8 weeks

We handle the build, testing and store submissions. Your team shares brand assets and gives the final sign-off, and we plan your IT review into the schedule.

  1. 1 Week 1

    Kickoff

    A kickoff with your team to decide what buyers see first, from tab menus to account features, plus access to your store and developer accounts.

  2. 2 Weeks 2 to 3

    Build and integrate

    We build the app on your live site and test sign-in, account pricing, quick order and checkout with test accounts. By week two, you'll have a working preview to try.

  3. 3 Week 4

    Customize and test

    Your team reviews the design with us while we connect push notifications and analytics (GA4 and Firebase) and test on iOS and Android. Then you give the final approval.

  4. 4 Weeks 5 to 8

    Launch

    Apple and Google review both apps under your developer accounts, usually within one to two weeks, and we handle that process for you. Then we help you roll the app out to your accounts.

Questions from B2B teams

Have any more questions we didn't answer? Book a 30-minute call or send us a message to clear it all up.

Book a call
Will account login, contract pricing and approvals work in the app?

Yes. They come from your live B2B site, so buyers sign in to their company account, see their negotiated prices and work within the roles and approval rules you set on the web. Quotes, purchase orders, credit terms and reorder lists work the same way.

Does the app work with our ERP?

Yes. Whatever your site connects to, whether NetSuite, SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, a PIM or an order management system, keeps working, because the app uses your site and its existing integrations. There's no second integration to build or maintain.

Can the app be for approved customers only?

Yes. If your site asks visitors to sign in or apply for an account before they see pricing, the app works the same way, and approved buyers stay signed in between orders. Apple and Google review login-only apps too, and ask for an account their reviewers can sign in with. We handle the submission, including that review account.

Can one app serve trade and retail buyers?

Yes, if your site already serves both. The app shows each buyer what your site shows them, so trade accounts sign in to their contract pricing and terms, and retail shoppers see your public prices and checkout. It's one app and one store listing, not two.

Can our sales reps still order for their accounts?

Yes. Your reps keep their role, and the app takes routine reorders off their plate, so they spend more time on new business and the accounts that need them. If your site lets reps sign in and order on behalf of an account, they can do that in the app too.

Will our buyers actually use an app?

If it saves them time, yes. Buyers stay signed in, with their pricing, order history and saved lists a tap away. At Industrial Safety Products, app users generate five times the revenue of web users. GSF Car Parts has 19,000 active app users a month, after adding homepage banners and sending a single email to its subscribers.

How do we get buyers to download the app?

Your account list is the place to start. We help you plan the rollout: an email to every account, introductions from your sales reps, banners on your site, and QR codes on invoices, packing slips and deliveries. A reason to switch, like app-only pricing or faster reordering, helps adoption.

Which ecommerce platforms does MobiLoud work with?

MobiLoud builds apps on Shopify Plus B2B, BigCommerce B2B Edition, Adobe Commerce B2B, Salesforce Commerce Cloud, WooCommerce, OroCommerce and custom B2B platforms, as well as the other major ecommerce platforms. Protective Masks Direct is on Magento.

How long does it take to launch?

6 to 8 weeks is typical, even with company accounts, contract pricing and ERP integrations in scope. Your IT or security review often sets the date, so we plan around it from the kickoff call.

How do B2B sellers use push notifications?

B2B sellers use push for order and delivery updates, back-in-stock alerts on regular items, price and lead-time changes, new product lines, reorder reminders and abandoned carts. Each message can link to a product, a category or the buyer's account page. You send push from your own OneSignal account, or from Klaviyo on the Enterprise plan, and we'll help you set up your first flows.

Can we replace our current app?

Yes. In most cases we can publish your MobiLoud app as an update to your existing App Store and Google Play listings, so your ratings, reviews and installed users stay with the app. Companies have moved to MobiLoud from custom-built apps and from template app builders.

Is this a real native app?

Yes. Your buyers download it from the App Store and Google Play, where it's listed under your own developer accounts. We build it on your live B2B site and add the native layer: a tab bar and navigation, push notifications, persistent login, social sign-in and deep links. MobiLoud has published more than 2,000 apps since 2013.

Do links to our site open in the app?

Yes, for buyers with the app installed. We set up universal links on iOS and app links on Android, so a link in an order confirmation, an invoice email or a text message opens that page in the app. Buyers without the app see your mobile site as usual, and your web team adds two small setup files we provide.

What does a MobiLoud app cost?

The Business plan is $1,499 a month, or $1,274 a month billed annually, plus a one-time fee for the build and submission, with up to 10,000 monthly active users. Enterprise, with a dedicated success manager, an SLA and custom contracts, is custom-priced. Neither plan takes a share of your sales.

Who owns the app and the App Store listing?

Your company does. Both apps are published under your own Apple Developer and Google Play Console accounts, so the listings, reviews, installs, analytics and buyer data are yours. The platform that builds the app remains MobiLoud's, and if you ever leave, your listings and users stay with you.
