Manufacturing & B2B Systems
BBN Labs builds the digital layer for manufacturers, wholesalers and distributors. That means product catalogues with real spec data, B2B ordering and quote-request portals, and dealer and distributor logins. We add inventory visibility, sales dashboards, workflow automation and multilingual export pages. Industrial-automation and machinery projects route to specialized partners; the customer-facing and data layer is ours.
What you get
- Product catalogues with specs, drawings and assets
- B2B ordering portals and quote-request workflows
- Dealer, distributor and customer portals with pricing tiers
- Inventory visibility integrations
- Sales dashboards and scheduled reporting
- Workflow automation between systems
- Multilingual export pages and trade-show materials
- Referrals to specialized partners for shop-floor automation
What it fixes
- Dealers order by phoning someone who checks a spreadsheet
- Your catalogue is a 40 MB PDF from two price lists ago
- Quotes take days while competitors answer in hours
- Management flies blind between month-end reports
Process
How a project runs
01
Map how an order becomes cash in the bank, and where it stalls today
02
Fix the catalogue first; everything hangs off clean product data
03
Build portals and quote flows; integrate inventory where systems allow
04
Dashboards for management; training for the inside-sales team

The honest read on funding
Manufacturing digitization may fit several pathways, subject to their rules. Examples include Ontario's DMAP/TDP track for qualifying SMEs and Alberta's Manufacturing Productivity Grant (currently accepting until October 31, 2026). Tariff-response programming through regional agencies may also fit. Screening tells you which conversation is worth having.

Frequently asked questions
Our ERP is ancient. Can portals still work?
Usually yes. Portals can sit in front of older systems via exports, scheduled syncs or middleware. That delivers most of the customer-facing value without an ERP replacement project. We scope the integration honestly, including where a manual step remains.
