Company

E.B. Bradley Co. is a leading B2B wholesale distributor of interior building materials, serving customers across the Western United States. With a reputation for quality, service, and innovation, E.B. Bradley Co. supplies cabinet hardware, surfacing products, and specialty materials to fabricators, architects, and designers. Known for its deep B2B relationships, E.B. Bradley Co. is focused on creating frictionless digital buying experiences that match the complexity and scale of its offline business.

The Challenge

After launching their new site on Adobe Commerce, E.B. Bradley Co. faced a dual challenge: migrating users from a legacy commerce-only platform and encouraging broader adoption of the new site among their wholesale customer base. At launch, only 3.3% of total revenue came through digital channels.

Their previous platform, while stable, offered limited flexibility and no roadmap to support emerging B2B customer needs. Functional gaps, design limitations, and discontinued support left the team with no path to digital modernization. On top of that, B2B-specific complexities like company hierarchies, diverse shipping rules, and multiple domains weren’t supported out of the box.

The Solution

Zaelab partnered with E.B. Bradley Co. to rebuild their digital foundation on Adobe Commerce, enabling a modern, scalable B2B experience. Drawing on Adobe’s robust B2B feature set and deep ERP integration via Expertek, Zaelab and its partners helped E.B. Bradley Co. replicate essential legacy features while unlocking new digital capabilities.

The implementation included advanced pricing rules, customer account hierarchies, lumber tax and surcharge handling, and integrations with warehouse inventory systems. A custom order portal gives buyers more control, while managed services and marketing support, including a Google Analytics setup, helps the team monitor adoption and inform future enhancements.

This wasn’t a quick sprint. It was a marathon project, built with long-term growth in mind. The team prioritized lasting infrastructure over quick wins, which is an essential approach in complex B2B environments where success requires precision, scale, and trust.

Key Integrations

To support a feature-rich B2B experience, Zaelab and its partners integrated:

  • Internally managed SQL database integration to enable enhanced on-site features and support key capabilities.
  • Expertek to connect Adobe Commerce with E.B. Bradley Co’s ERP system, enabling real-time access to customer data, pricing, and inventory.
  • Custom surcharge and tax functionality to reflect product-specific rules across categories.
  • Custom warehouse inventory and order portal integration for seamless order visibility and fulfillment.
  • Google Analytics to enable data-driven decision-making and digital growth tracking.
