B2B commerce is getting more complex; your ordering model needs to keep up

Enterprise buyers aren’t waiting for infrastructure to catch up. They’re prioritizing:

  • Order velocity: Moving from slow manual processing to faster assisted execution.
  • Operational efficiency: Reducing manual intervention across high-volume ordering motions.
  • Scalable growth: Expanding B2B channels without linear headcount growth.
  • Commercial control: Enforcing approvals, policies, and accountability across workflows. 

Most legacy ordering infrastructure wasn’t built to deliver all these needs at once. 

Codal + Shopify close that gap by combining AI-assisted workflows with governed, platform-native commerce infrastructure built to actually meet enterprise teams’ growing needs.

AI should improve commercial performance, not add complexity

For enterprise B2B, AI is valuable only when it improves measurable business performance: faster cycle times, tighter control, and better operational leverage.

Codal’s approach combines workflow orchestration, governance, and platform execution to deliver those outcomes in production environments.

We’re one of Shopify’s most trusted enterprise B2B partners

We’ve spent over a decade building commerce systems for enterprise teams.

  • Shopify Platinum Partner: Recognized by Shopify for delivering enterprise-grade implementations, not just standard storefronts.
  • Full-stack B2B capabilities: From discovery and strategy to design, development, and post-launch optimization, we own the entire engagement. 
  • Shopify Flow expertise: We build the orchestration layer most partners can’t. Custom approval chains, AI-assisted order drafting, policy enforcement, and automated routing baked directly into Shopify’s workflow engine.
  • ERP & enterprise integration experience: We’ve connected Shopify to the systems enterprise B2B teams already run on, ERPs, CRMs, procurement platforms, custom internal tools, and more, without the complexity that typically derails these projects.
  • AI & commerce, not AI or commerce: Most AI implementation partners don’t understand commerce. Most commerce partners don’t understand AI. We’re at the intersection, which is exactly where B2B AI ordering lives.
