Booster previously Korus B2B portal

2025: Based on Supplier Port

Korus Consulting has developed a supplier portal based on the Booster platform. The company announced this on February 19, 2025.

The web application will allow you to automate purchases for your own business needs, as well as increase the efficiency of interaction with suppliers.

The supplier portal (SRM portal, supplier's web office) is implemented as a separate module within the framework of the ecosystem e-commerce platform "Booster."

Bustrade is its own solution of KORUS Consulting Group of Companies, which includes tools for automating the processes of electronic trading, sales and client service: b2b-portal, lms-system, calculation of delivery costs and chat bots, and now - and supplier portal. It can be used as part of non-commercial purchases of the company for its own needs (furniture, stationery, computer equipment, etc.), which do not fall under the influence of 44-FZ and 223-FZ. The module can be connected to any existing purchasing systems of companies.

Due to a unified online information environment for all participants, convenient price and other purchasing tools, the web application allows you to automate those work tasks that previously could take up to several hours of working time a day for purchasing managers and suppliers. For example, planning and processing non-commercial purchases, sending out RFQs and consolidating quotations, exchanging documents, handling complaints, etc. Thus, with the help of the supplier portal, medium and large businesses will be able to increase the transparency of procurement processes, the efficiency of procurement teams, the quality of supply chains, reduce human costs by at least 10%, and also reduce the transaction cycle.

The lack of automation of procurement, regardless of industry or company, can lead to incorrect communications, errors and irrational spending. To solve these problems, we launched the supplier portal on the basis of the Bustrade platform - a solution that will allow us to centralize, standardize and automate disparate processes within the framework of procurement. Our internal data also confirm interest in such solutions: according to our estimates, the demand for platform e-commerce products among Russian business in the second half of 2024 increased by 2 times compared to the first half of the year, said Maria Bar-Biryukova, Director of the e-commerce Department of KORUS Consulting Group.

End of branding

Korus Consulting Group has completed the branding of one of its IT products - a platform for launching a B2B portal. Previously, the solution was known on the market as the KORUS B2B portal. The company announced this on May 15, 2024.

The product was named "Booster." The concept is based on two readings. In the first version, "BUS" stands for "1C-Bitrix: Site Management" - that is, the technological base of the platform in combination with "trade": trade management, sales.

The functionality and tools of Bustrade are based on the needs of leading Russian companies and are verified at the request of more than 20 large customers.

For May 2024, Booster is a ready-made solution for launching a wholesale client's personal account based on 1C-Bitrix: Site Management. Among its tools: user registration and authorization, a catalog with a visual showcase, a shopping cart and checkout, as well as ready-made modules for integrating third-party systems. The launch of the platform is available in 2-3 months.

The need to brand and position the product in the market has long been ripe. The B2B portal has long grown from a regular service to a full-fledged independent platform that closes the tasks of medium and large businesses in the framework of wholesale online sales. The solution helps our partners achieve their business goals: to increase the volume of wholesale online sales, loyalty and LTV of customers, to optimize labor resources. Over the years of cooperation with dozens of Enterprise clients, our team has accumulated significant experience and branding - this is a logical stage in the development of the platform, - said Maria Bar-Biryukova, Director of the e-commerce Department, Deputy General Director of KORUS Consulting Group of Companies.

How KORUS B2B portal allows you to transfer wholesale sales online

At the same time, among those B2B customers who already buy on the Internet, the majority (92%) would like the order process to be as easy and fast as in the largest online retail stores.

Therefore, automation and digital transformation are necessary if the business plans to improve the level of client service and key business indicators.
