Free RFP TemplateChoose the best B2B eCommerce platform by defining needs first
A practical RFP template that helps you map your business problems, needs, and priorities. Before you ever compare features.
Free to access. No platform bias. Built for manufacturers, wholesalers, and distributors.
Why this template?
Choosing a B2B eCommerce platform is hard because there are over 90 platforms and every one of them looks similar at first glance.
Most merchants jump straight to comparing features, demos, or feature checklists, which usually leads to buying the wrong platform.
This template flips the process. You define the business need first, then evaluate platforms against what matters.




What's inside?
- A structured needs-before-features framework
- Sheets for capturing situations, problems, implications, and needs
- A scoring method to prioritise business value
- Tools to align internal teams
- A way to evaluate platforms using effort, impact, and confidence scores
- Clear briefing outputs for agencies, vendors, and internal teams
Designed to help you avoid guesswork and choose a platform that fits how your business actually works.
Who is it for?
Managing Directors of growing manufacturing, wholesale, or distribution businesses.
eCommerce Managers who need a clear platform brief.
Operations or IT leaders needing structure for platform evaluation.
Anyone overwhelmed by demos, feature lists, or vendor claims.
Make better decisions
