Smart Design builds websites, B2B webshops and integrations for Rotterdam wholesalers, importers, exporters and logistics companies: orders, stock and shipping in one system.
No sales talk, just a system that removes manual work. We discuss your project in Dutch, English or Arabic, at your company or warehouse, or by video call.
Rotterdam is the largest port in Europe, and you can see it in the businesses across the city and region: wholesalers, importers, freight forwarders, hauliers and suppliers who work with containers, pallets and large order volumes every day.
In many of these companies the website still runs separately from everything else. A customer emails an order, someone retypes it into the accounting software, someone else creates a shipping label and by the end of the week the stock figures no longer match. That is exactly the work a well-integrated webshop takes off your hands.
What an integration gives you:
$ New order: 24 boxes, customer on account
→ Customer price and volume discount applied
→ Invoice created in Exact Online
→ Warehouse stock updated
→ Shipping label created with DHL
✓ Tracking link sent to customer
From an importer in the Waalhaven to a speciality shop on the West-Kruiskade.
A closed webshop where regular customers log in, see their own prices and order on account. New business customers request an account online and you approve them.
A clear website for your services, a quote form for shipments and, if you want, a customer portal where clients follow the status of their cargo.
Product catalogues in several languages, prices per country, EU reverse-charge VAT and shipments to customers outside Europe, all from one admin panel.
Wholesalers and supermarkets with products from the Middle East, Turkey or Asia: shelf life, units per box and ordering per pallet handled properly.
Thousands of items with specifications, filters by size and type, and quick reordering for technicians and buyers who know exactly what they need.
For businesses around the Markthal, Witte de Withstraat or Zuidplein: a fast site, easy to find in Google Maps, with online ordering or reservations.
A business customer buys differently from a consumer. They order more often, in larger quantities, at agreed prices and usually pay afterwards. A standard webshop is not built for that, so orders still end up in the inbox.
We build custom B2B webshops with Laravel and Vue. That means we can follow the way you work instead of the other way round: your own price agreements, your own delivery terms and your own approval steps.
Frequently requested features:
Customer portal
Most trading companies already have software they rely on: an ERP, accounting software, a warehouse system or a regular carrier. We do not replace it. We connect your website to it through an API, so data is entered only once.
If your system has no standard connector, we build one ourselves, for example through a CSV or XML exchange or a custom webhook. Your existing way of working stays intact; only the retyping disappears.
Rotterdam has a large international business community, with many Arabic-, Turkish- and English-speaking owners. Arabic is our team’s native language, so you can discuss your project in the language you think in most easily.
We work for companies across the Rijnmond area. We are happy to visit at the start; after that much happens through short video calls, so you never have to clear a whole day.
A regular website is usually live within 10 to 20 working days; for a B2B webshop with integrations we agree a schedule up front.
Together we trace how an order comes in today, who does what and where things go wrong. That shows which integrations really save time.
We build the webshop and integrations, and test with real products, customers and price agreements before any order goes live.
After launch we follow the first orders with you. You get a three-month warranty and we make daily backups.
jamatrading.nl
Webshop and point of sale (POS) for a food wholesaler, with one stock for online and in-store sales.
ibo-gastro.nl
Webshop for professional catering equipment, from shawarma grills to fryers and refrigerated displays.
jd-parfums.de
Fragrance webshop in four languages with hundreds of scents in multiple sizes, German legal pages and Mollie payments.
In most cases, yes. Packages such as Exact Online and Odoo have an API we connect to directly. With older systems we often use a scheduled file exchange.
Yes. You decide per customer whether they may order on account, pay up front through iDEAL or card, or a combination. You approve new accounts yourself.
Yes. We set up prices and shipping costs per country, reverse-charge VAT for business customers in the EU and several languages. Shipments to, for example, the Gulf states can be set up too.
Yes. Arabic is a native language within our team. Meetings, admin panel training and support can be fully in Arabic, while the website itself also appears in Dutch and English.
No. We import products, prices and stock from your existing system or an Excel file, and keep them in sync automatically afterwards.
That depends mainly on the number of integrations and the pricing rules you need. After a conversation about your order flow you receive a quote with a fixed price.
Yes. Our office is in Haarlem, but for the first meeting and key steps we are happy to come to your company or warehouse. In between we meet online.
