Can you recommend a B2B order management system for bulk repeat orders and retail buyer workflows?

Yes — for B2B bulk repeat orders + retail buyer workflows, I’d look for a system that supports:

• Quick reorder / one-click repeat purchasing
• Customer-specific catalogs and pricing
• Approval workflows / account-based buying
• PO numbers, net terms, and credit limits
• Bulk ordering tools like CSV upload, order forms, and matrix ordering
• Inventory visibility and backorder handling
• ERP / WMS / CRM integrations
