Medical and pharmaceutical goods B2B self-service portal
An approved business customer orders medical or pharmaceutical goods allowed to him and finds the necessary documents. The order is subject to specific supply conditions of the group of goods.
Licenses, contracts, user roles, allowed range and expiration terms are not automatically linked to the order. There is an increasing risk of inappropriate access, order braking and audit discrepancies.
How the solution works
- The client's company and its user are identified by an approved rights model.
- For the ordered range, the applicable product, commercial and delivery conditions are verified.
- The order is only transferred for execution after receiving the necessary approvals, and the exception is directed to the responsible employee.
- The client receives the permitted states and documents from approved sources.
Key challenges
- The customer's right to purchase is checked manually
- Order control rules work separately
Solution capabilities
Client rights model
The customer type, license, contract and user role determine what can be seen and ordered.
Controlling the allowed range
Products are displayed according to customer law and the rules of a specific product group.
Order Control Rules
Commercial and control conditions are checked before an ERP order is created.
Relevant product documentation
When logged in, the customer sees only approved versions of the documents assigned to his product and market.
Exemption workflow
If the standard order cannot be confirmed automatically, it is directed to the responsible employee with a clear reason.
Business context
- The customer's right to purchase is checked manually
- Licenses, contracts, user roles, allowed range and expiration terms are not automatically linked to the order. There is an increasing risk of inappropriate access, order braking and audit discrepancies.
- Order control rules work separately
- Price, credit, product restrictions, documents, temperature and delivery conditions are checked in multiple systems or by people's hands. Standard order processing is slow and exceptions are not always traceable.
- Purchase order adapted to professional customer
- An approved buyer hopes to find a suitable range and documentation for his institution without re-mails. Pre-applied order conditions allow for faster replenishment of stock. The sales team can devote more time to servicing new establishments and combining more complex needs.

Potential impact (%)
The ranges indicate an illustrative relative change in the metric under the stated assumptions. Results depend on the starting position and actual use of the solution. Percentages for different metrics must not be added together.
Active administration of a standard professional client order
12–36%Decreasing
This illustrative scenario assumes that 30-60% of manual data entry and handover work can be addressed. That share is assumed to fall by 40-60%. Company data is needed to verify both the addressable workload and the resulting change.
Compare employee time by product and customer group to include re-views.
Orders returned for the approval of a non-transferable right or document
5–25%Decreasing
This illustrative scenario assumes that 20-50% of missed actions can be identified through task and deadline tracking. That share is assumed to fall by 25-50%. Company data is needed to verify both the addressable share and the resulting change.
Internal transmission discrepancies are calculated, distinguishing between legally rejected or changed client status.
Share of hard-to-subscribe business customers
9–25%Decreasing
The sample scenario affects 30-50% of customer-specified difficulties with the described service process. This proportion is assumed to be reduced by 30-50%. The company's data checks both the scope and the change achieved.
The simplicity of the action from 1 (very difficult) to 5 (very easy) is evaluated. The indicator is part of the respondents who chose 1 or 2 points. After the order, the question is how easy it was to find the item and provide the necessary information; the same groups of customers and goods are compared.
Conditional calculation scenarios. The assumptions have not been validated against client measurements.
When this solution is relevant
- Customer licenses are checked manually
- Professional clients often ask for documents
- Some orders stop due to access or product restrictions
- ERP pricing and WMS data are available through integrations
- Customer rights and product restrictions have approved sources and responsible professionals.
Implementation requirements
Self-service of regulated products requires an approved source of buyer rights, user credentials and product limitations. Determines how rights changes reach order verification and who deals with suspended orders; mandatory controls must be the same across all sales channels.
Further development options
- Review of the impact of changes to client rights on open orders
- Transfer of the Authorised Employee Exception Decision
