If B2B orders are few and simple, WhatsApp or email may work for a while; when dealers, price lists, product permissions, cart, order history and approval queues grow, a portal is the better structure. WhatsApp/email is fast but weak at standardizing product, price and approval data. A portal gives dealers or customers authorized products, prices, cart and order history. Delbig connects portal orders to CRM customers, price lists and approval workflow. If dealer count is low, the product list is stable, prices are similar for everyone and incoming orders are easy to check manually, WhatsApp or email can work for a while. If each dealer must see different products and prices, prepare orders through a cart, track history and have the internal team review orders in an approval queue, a portal is the better structure. Not at the beginning. But as dealers, price lists, product permissions and approvals grow, message traffic creates control loss. Not always. Companies that need control can route portal orders into an approval queue inside CRM.
