Recognise the customer
Use account and business context to reveal the right information and actions without making the storefront feel fragmented.
A commerce system for organisations buying at work and people buying for themselves—without forcing either journey to behave like the other.
A split but connected composition: a business purchasing context on one side and a direct customer shopping context on the other, joined by the same Dacris storefront. Use turquoise as the field, violet as a precise accent.
THE ASSIGNMENT
B2B and B2C share a catalogue, not the same job.
A direct customer wants speed and confidence. A business buyer may need company context, repeatable orders, negotiated conditions and visibility across a longer relationship.
The challenge was to create one coherent commerce foundation that respects both modes instead of reducing one to a compromised version of the other.
This is a deliberately restrained public account. It describes the shape of the work without publishing confidential decisions, unapproved metrics or claims that belong to the client.THE DIRECTION
Use account and business context to reveal the right information and actions without making the storefront feel fragmented.
Help frequent buyers return to products, lists and decisions instead of rebuilding routine orders from zero.
Create shared product and navigation rules that remain useful across business and direct buying journeys.
THE WORKING PRODUCT
We looked beyond the visible basket to the job each customer was completing. Real catalogue depth, account states, commercial rules and operational needs stayed inside the design and engineering conversation.
Two real interface states side by side: a signed-in business customer with company-specific context and a direct customer journey. Preserve the shared design language while making the functional differences visible.
SELECTED EXPERIENCES
Choose real captures that show why the journeys differ. Avoid generic homepage screenshots unless they demonstrate a concrete decision.
Authenticated company-account area with relevant orders, addresses, users, terms or lists visible. Use only approved commercial information.
The information and actions an organisation needs, visible without turning every page into an administration screen.
A reorder, saved-list, quick-order or purchase-history journey showing a clear next action.
A faster route back to recurring products and orders for people whose time matters more than browsing.
Category, product or basket screen with useful product information and a confident path to purchase.
A clear retail journey for people who simply need to find, understand and buy the right product.
THE SYSTEM
Shared patterns. Contextual behaviour.
The system separates what should be consistent from what should respond to customer context. That gives design and engineering a reusable foundation while preserving the differences that make each journey useful.
A diagram or working-file view connecting catalogue, customer/account context, ordering and fulfilment to shared interface components. Use Dacris brand curves or shapes subtly, not decoratively.
WHAT WE DELIVERED
