Ecommerce for
the office trade,
dealer side and
supplier side.
Office furniture dealers, office supplies dealers and the suppliers behind them, on one UK platform: supplier ranges that import into dealer stores, selling prices worked out by rule, a purchase order to each supplier when an order is paid, and trade accounts when you need them.
Built in Northampton. Every price on the site, no quote needed.
One network

Kept in sync
Stock, costs and content
A supplier’s range, in every dealer’s store.
Most office dealers sell ranges they buy in. On Orbit the supplier publishes the range once, and each dealer connects to it, picks the products and sells them at their own price.
Ranges arrive complete
Name, description, photos, variants, brand, category, weight, dimensions and the supplier’s stock count come across with each product, imported in the background.
Prices by rule, not by spreadsheet
A markup, a margin or a fixed amount on the supplier’s cost, rounded the way you like, by brand, category or cost band.
Changes you approve
New products and cost changes wait in an Updates inbox, or arrive on their own once you switch on auto-accept. Stock follows the supplier as it changes.
