Elesto: Built for B2B eCommerce Projects

Sylius has become a go-to platform for B2B companies that need more than standard eCommerce solutions. Its flexibility allows businesses to handle complex pricing models, multi-level approvals, and custom ordering processes – all while maintaining the scalability needed for catalogs with hundreds of thousands of products. The API-first architecture makes it simple to connect with existing ERP, PIM, and CRM systems that B2B operations rely on.

Building on this foundation, B2B Suite has been helping companies transform their sales processes for years now. From wholesale distributors to manufacturers selling directly to businesses, the module handles the specific requirements that make B2B different – organization management, negotiated pricing, and quick reordering.

To make it easier to experience these capabilities in action, we’ve built Elesto – an example showing how features like customer-specific catalogs, bulk ordering, and multi-buyer accounts work together in everyday business scenarios.

Key features you can explore in Elesto

Organizations and user roles

The organizations and user roles feature lets you assign multiple users to a single organization and grant them different permission levels. Administrators can manage team members, add new people, or restrict access as needed. At the same time, all activities (order history, invoices, and billing data) remain visible to the entire organization, increasing transparency and making collaboration easier. This solution proves particularly valuable for companies managing complex purchasing processes that involve multiple departments.

Pricing engine

In B2B commerce, pricing is the result of negotiations, contracts, volumes, and long-term relationships. With this in mind, the B2B Suite pricing engine enables the creation of advanced pricing rules: from dedicated price lists for specific organizations or customer groups, through percentage discounts for entire categories, to tier pricing where the price changes based on quantity ordered.

Quick shopping

In B2C, customers often browse products, draw inspiration from images, and then add items to their cart. However, in the B2B model, the buyers usually know what they need and want to order it as quickly as possible. The quick ordering feature allows bulk product addition via SKU codes or import files. This means the ordering process doesn’t require navigating through dozens of categories but happens instantly on a single page. Companies particularly appreciate this functionality when placing large, recurring orders.

Shopping lists

Sometimes one team prepares a list of needed products, another approves the budget, and yet another finalizes the order. Shopping lists in B2B Suite enable customers to create multiple working carts that can later be easily converted into orders. This solution works perfectly for companies handling project-based purchases where different departments need to collaborate on a single order.

Re-ordering

The system allows reordering entire orders with one click—simply select a previous order from history to instantly place an identical one. This significantly reduces processing time and eliminates the risk of errors, especially for repeat deliveries or established product catalogs ordered regularly.

Ready for large catalogs

One of the biggest challenges in B2B eCommerce is scale. Catalogs often contain hundreds of thousands of products and millions of variants. The module has been tested under these conditions and runs smoothly without requiring additional optimization. This means companies don’t need to worry about performance even as their inventory grows rapidly. The module provides confidence that the platform is future-ready and can expand alongside your business.

We built Elesto to show what’s possible when flexibility meets real business needs. It’s our way of opening up what B2B eCommerce can look like – fast, scalable, and designed around how companies actually buy and sell.

Rather than just talking about features, we wanted to create something you can explore, learn from, and use as inspiration for your own B2B journey.
