Stock by Location Extension for SuiteCommerce

In B2B commerce, one of the biggest challenges buyers face is knowing where stock is available before placing an order. If your SuiteCommerce store doesn’t clearly communicate inventory availability across multiple warehouses or fulfillment centers, customers may delay purchases or turn to competitors. That’s where Stock by Location, our SuiteCommerce extension, comes in.

What is the Stock by Location Extension?

The Stock by Location extension enhances the B2B buying experience by displaying available inventory per location on the Product Detail Page (PDP). Instead of showing a general stock status, this feature provides a transparent, real-time view of item availability at different locations.
 
Whether you operate multiple warehouses, distribution centers, or regional hubs, this tool allows buyers to make informed purchasing decisions—reducing delays and improving order efficiency.

How It Works

  1. When a customer views a product, the extension activates on the Product Detail Page (PDP).
  2. It fetches stock information from your NetSuite backend, retrieving availability across all locations.
  3. The extension filters out locations with zero stock, ensuring only available inventory is displayed.
  4. Customers can easily see where the item is in stock, making their purchasing decisions faster and more convenient.

Industries That Benefit Most

The Stock by Location extension is an essential tool for various industries, including:

  • Wholesale & Distribution: Allow B2B buyers to check stock at different fulfillment centers and plan orders accordingly.
  • Manufacturing: Help distributors and dealers find the nearest stock, improving logistics and reducing delivery times.
  • Automotive & Replacement Parts: Customers searching for specific parts need real-time inventory visibility by location to avoid order delays.

Key Benefits of Adding Stock by Location to Your SuiteCommerce Store

1. Streamlined Procurement

By displaying location-based stock availability, buyers can quickly assess which warehouse or distribution center has the items they need—eliminating unnecessary delays and back-and-forth communication.

2. Reduced Order Processing Time

B2B customers often place large, time-sensitive orders. By providing clear inventory data, businesses can ensure their orders are fulfilled faster and more efficiently.

3. Optimized Inventory Management

Encouraging buyers to source from locations with higher stock levels helps prevent bottlenecks and balances inventory demand across warehouses.

4. Faster Order Fulfillment

With real-time visibility into stock availability, customers can select the most strategic location for pickup or shipping, improving delivery speed.

5. Increased Buyer Confidence & Retention

B2B buyers rely on clear, accurate inventory data when making purchasing decisions. Providing this transparency fosters trust, leading to stronger relationships and repeat business.

Real-Life Use Cases

A distributor needs to source 500 units of an industrial component. Using the Stock by Location extension, they see that two fulfillment centers have the required stock. They choose the nearest one for faster delivery, ensuring their customers receive the components on time.

An auto parts dealer urgently needs 50 specific engine components. Checking the online store, they find that a nearby distribution center has stock available. Instead of waiting for standard shipping, they arrange local pickup, reducing downtime for their customers.

A corporate buyer placing a bulk order for office supplies can now check stock levels at different distribution hubs, selecting the most stocked location for an efficient supply chain strategy.
