10 Signs Your eCommerce Platform Is Holding You Back

For PPE & Workwear Suppliers

Kevin Faulkner - Marketing Executive Written by Kevin Faulkner - Marketing Executive 27 May 2025 in Wholesale and Distribution

Is your current eCommerce platform helping you scale — or standing in your way? This checklist will help you quickly identify whether your current system is built for long-term success or putting a ceiling on your growth.

1. Your product catalog is difficult to manage

Managing variants like sizes, colors, safety ratings, and certifications feels like a nightmare, requiring endless workarounds or manual updates.

2. You can’t support customer-specific pricing

You’re constantly fielding questions because your platform can’t display contract pricing or volume discounts automatically.

3. Customers can’t easily reorder

Repeat customers are forced to place orders from scratch, slowing them down and creating friction.

4. You rely heavily on phone and email orders

Despite having an eCommerce site, most of your orders still come in manually — wasting time and increasing the risk of errors.

5. Your web store looks and feels like a B2C site

You’re trying to force a B2C experience on B2B buyers who need account-level access, PO numbers, or invoice visibility.

6. Limited integration with your ERP or back-end systems

There’s no seamless flow of inventory, pricing, and order data between your eCommerce store and business systems — leading to duplication and mistakes.

7. Lack of self-service functionality

Customers can’t view their previous orders, manage users, or track shipments — so they call your team for help instead.

8. You can’t personalize the experience

All customers see the same catalog, promotions, and product options — making it hard to serve enterprise clients or niche accounts.

9. Your platform struggles with compliance needs

You can’t easily enforce rules around certifications, product restrictions, or industry standards for PPE.

10. It’s difficult to scale

Every time your business grows — new customer types, product lines, or regions — your current system hits a limit.
