## Orders an ordinary e-shop cannot handle

The project started under the Dactyl Group brand, which is now part of Techmates. Philips is a global brand. For specific B2B orders it needed an internal system that goes beyond what ordinary e-shops offer: controlled access, tiered permissions and a user interface shaped around company ordering rather than retail customers.

### Authorized users only, and no time to spare

Philips needed an internal system for specific B2B orders that standard e-shop products cannot cover. Only authorized users could get in, and the system had to be ready fast.

### Built on DactylCMS and delivered in one month

We built a custom e-commerce system on DactylCMS: tiered permissions, closed access and a user interface adjusted for company ordering. Delivery took one month.
