Turn Your Industrial Parts Catalogue into a Trade Portal and Online Store
Mythex lets an industrial supplier turn a PDF catalogue into a searchable online store with part number and cross-reference search, a trade portal where each account sees its own prices and reorders from history, and quotes with lead times on every line. You describe your catalogue and accounts in chat, import the spreadsheet and publish.
What a trade counter is fighting with
A maintenance engineer rings because a line is down and needs a 6205-2RS bearing today. Counter staff search a manufacturer PDF, check stock in an old ERP, and quote that account's price from memory. Orders come by phone, email and scanned purchase orders. Large customers reject invoices without the right PO number and say so sixty days later. Quality teams ask for a certificate of conformity months after delivery. Year-end budget spend and plant shutdowns bring spikes, and the catalogue runs to thousands of lines. Software helps when the catalogue is searchable by any number the engineer has, prices follow the account, and every document is attached to the order it belongs to.
- Search by your code, manufacturer number and equivalents
- Account-specific price lists
- Checkout on account with a PO number
- Pack quantities and minimum order quantities
- Certificates and delivery notes per order
- Stock by branch and bin
What you can build for industrial suppliers
A trade portal built around reordering
Buyers log in to their purchase history and reorder in one click. Invoices, statements, delivery notes and certificates of conformity download against each order. Several buyers share an account with their own order limits, and larger orders go to an approver.
Build a trade customer portal for my industrial supply business. Each account has several buyers with order limits and an approver for larger orders. Buyers see their purchase history and reorder in one click, see their own prices and credit balance, and download invoices, delivery notes and certificates of conformity per order.
Thousands of SKUs, searchable by any number
Products imported from your spreadsheet with specifications like size, thread and material. Search matches your code, the manufacturer's number and cross-references, and shows stock next to each result. Pack sizes are clear, trade accounts check out on account, and same-day cutoffs are shown.
Create an online catalogue for my industrial supply company imported from a CSV of 8,000 SKUs. Search by our code, manufacturer part number or cross-reference, show specs, pack quantity, MOQ and stock by branch. Logged-in trade accounts see their prices and check out on account with a PO number.
Quotes with the lead time on every line
Part number, quantity, unit price and lead time per line, alternatives offered where a part is obsolete, short validity on metal-based items, and one-click conversion to an order with the customer's PO.
Make a quote tool for an industrial supplier. Each line has part number, quantity, unit price and lead time, with optional alternative parts. Quotes are valid 14 days, and customers accept in the portal with their PO number to create an order.
Stock by branch, bin and lot
Each branch holds its own stock and bin locations with transfers between them, reorder points based on usage and supplier lead time, lot numbers for traceable products and stock reserved against customer orders.
Build inventory for my industrial supply business with stock per branch and bin location, transfers, reorder points from usage and supplier lead time, lot numbers on traceable products and stock reserved for open orders. List items with no movement in 12 months.
No invoice without a PO number
PO number required at order time, payment terms per account such as 30 days end of month, monthly statements of open items and credit notes for returns.
Create invoicing for an industrial supplier. Every invoice requires a PO number, terms are set per account (e.g. 30 days end of month), statements go out monthly listing open invoices, and returns create credit notes.
Accounts that go quiet get a call
Accounts with sites, buyers, engineers and accounts contacts, pricing agreements with review dates, visits and quotes linked, and a list of accounts whose order frequency has dropped.
Make a CRM for my industrial supply company. Accounts have sites and contacts by role, pricing agreements with review dates, and logged sales visits and quotes. Flag accounts whose orders have dropped below their usual frequency.
From PDF to searchable catalogue
Export the catalogue from your ERP or the spreadsheet behind the PDF, and ask Mythex to import it with categories, specifications and cross-references. Prices can stay hidden until login. Update the same way when prices change. Connecting live ERP stock depends on whether your system exports data or has an API.
- Export SKUs, specs and cross-references to CSV
- Import into the store
- Re-import on each price change
Pack size mistakes are expensive
Ordering ten boxes when ten pieces were wanted is a classic trade error. Show the pack quantity and unit price per piece next to every add-to-basket button, and enforce minimum order quantities at checkout.
Questions
Can our website show different prices to different trade customers?
Yes. With login, each account sees its own price list or discount level, while guests see list prices or none.
Can we import our product catalogue from a spreadsheet?
Yes. A catalogue in spreadsheet or CSV form imports into the store's database and can be updated the same way later.
Can it connect to our ERP?
It depends on whether your ERP exports data or offers an API you connect. Many suppliers start with a scheduled export.
Do I need to code?
No. You describe the catalogue and accounts and change things by chatting. Developers on your team can edit the code on Pro.
What does it cost?
The Free plan needs no card and lets you build and publish. Pro is $25 a month for a custom domain, code editing, export and more credits.
