Product Matrix for B2B Ordering

Product Matrix for Fast B2B Variant Ordering with Business Central

A B2B buyer entering quantities for several colors and sizes at once in the TRIMIT product matrix.

Part of the TRIMIT E-commerce Series

Built for companies using Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central that sell products in many variants, such as colors, sizes, materials, or finishes, and want B2B buyers to order them quickly and correctly.

The TRIMIT product matrix shows all variants of a product in one view, with live stock and prices from Business Central.

Buyers enter quantities for several variants at once and add all lines to the basket in one step, instead of opening each variant separately.

The product page opens immediately, while the matrix loads in the background. Buyers can read descriptions, view images, and open documents without waiting, even for products with hundreds of variant combinations.

The matrix is used in the B2B webshop and TRIMIT Sales Agent, and orders go directly into Business Central without re-entry.

How It Works

All variants in one view
Enter quantities for multiple variants and add all lines to the basket at once, from the product page or the product list.
Fast product pages, even with large matrices
The product page is shown immediately and the matrix loads in the background, so buyers can start reading and browsing while variant data is retrieved.
Live stock and prices
Stock and prices per variant come directly from Business Central, including expected availability, without caching or manual sync.
Back-in-stock alerts
Buyers can subscribe to unavailable variants and get notified when they are back, which also gives you insight into demand.
Campaigns and discounts
Active campaigns and pricing rules are shown directly in the matrix, so buyers always see the current price.
Order from shopping lists
The same matrix is available in shopping lists, with stock indicators and ordering rules applied automatically.
Works on any device
The matrix works on desktop, tablet, and mobile, in the office, in the showroom, or at a trade fair.
Configurable
Choose what the matrix shows, such as availability, product images, and campaign highlights, and adjust layout and logic to how your customers order.

Product Matrix or Variant-by-Variant Ordering?

Most webshops are built for consumers who buy one variant at a time. B2B buyers order many variants of the same product in one go.

When every color, size, or finish has to be selected and added separately, a single product can take dozens of clicks. Buyers lose track, make mistakes, and often fall back on spreadsheets or email.

The product matrix turns that into one view and one action: see all variants, enter quantities, add to basket.

The product matrix is a good fit when you need to:

Sell products in many colors, sizes, materials, or finishes
Let buyers order several variants of a product in one step
Show live stock and prices per variant
Keep product pages fast, even with large variant ranges
Reduce errors and re-entry between webshop and Business Central

Good to know:

Background loading makes the biggest difference on products with many variant combinations
What the matrix shows can be configured per webshop

Why It Matters

Variant-heavy products are the norm in B2B. A dress comes in three colors and nine sizes. A dining chair comes in four frame finishes and six fabrics. Each combination is its own item, with its own stock and price.
When buyers have to handle those combinations one by one, ordering is slow and error-prone. When the product page also has to wait for all variant data before it opens, buyers wait before they can even start.
Errors in the order create extra work later: corrections, credit notes, and follow-up with the customer.
The product matrix closes that gap with one fast view of all variants, live data from Business Central, and orders that flow directly into the ERP, from selection to shipment and invoicing.

See It in Action

A furniture retailer opens a dining chair and starts reading the product description right away while the matrix loads. The matrix shows every frame finish and fabric with live stock. The retailer enters quantities for six combinations, subscribes to a fabric that is out of stock, and adds everything to the basket in one step.
