One catalog. Every kind of buyer.

ShopOS is planned omnichannel commerce for web catalogs, B2B and B2C online orders, and self-service checkouts, so retail customers and trade buyers order from the same source of truth.

In development. No launch date or pricing has been announced. Inquiries go to billing@colorideas.com.

01 / The problem

Why we are building ShopOS.

Many teams run this work on spreadsheets, paper, and chat. ShopOS is being designed to replace that fragmentation with one purposeful tool.

Today, without it

  • Product lists sent as PDFs and screenshots
  • Wholesale orders typed in from chat messages
  • Separate processes for consumers and trade accounts
  • Customers waiting on staff just to place an order

What ShopOS is designed for

  • A web catalog customers can browse on their own
  • B2B and B2C orders handled in one place
  • Self-service checkout for buyers who already know what they want
  • Fewer orders re-keyed by hand
02 / Planned capabilities

What ShopOS is being built to do.

These capabilities are planned. ShopOS is not available yet, and scope may change as development continues.

01

Web catalogs

Publish products to a browsable online catalog instead of passing around price lists.

02

B2C online orders

Let individual customers place orders directly from the catalog.

03

B2B online orders

Give trade and business buyers a way to place orders without long message threads.

04

Self-service checkout

Buyers complete checkout themselves, so staff spend time fulfilling instead of transcribing.

05

Order visibility

Incoming orders land in one queue for review and fulfillment.
