## Reviews

### "B2B portal" — 5.0/5

> **Maite** | *11 June 2026* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The support model is differentiated — the project team actually understands B2B complexity and stays close throughout implementation. Onboarding is quick and the platform is easy to use day to day. On the integration side there's a lot you can do: webhooks and APIs make it practical to connect CWS to ERP and other applications without forcing you to replatform.
> 
> **Cons**: Front-end design could be more flexible — additional customization over layout, components and styling would make it easier to match our brand identity.
> 
> We're rolling out a B2B e-commerce operation on CWS integrated with our ERP and middleware, and it's been a genuinely positive experience so far. What stands out most is the support and project team — responsive, technically engaged, and willing to work through complex commercial rules (negotiated pricing, credit, customer-specific conditions) rather than pushing generic answers. The platform itself is straightforward to onboard, and the integration options give us real flexibility to connect it to our existing systems.

### "Parceiros excelentes\!" — 5.0/5

> **Paulo Renan** | *22 June 2026* | Wholesale | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Ótima adequação ao modelo de negócio B2B e suas complexidades. Entregando ferramentas para adaptar todas as regras de negócio necessárias.
> 
> **Cons**: Poucas opções de layout na home. Porém, é possível criar homes dinâmicas de acordo com o perfil de cliente, o que já compensa as expectativas.
> 
> Excelente\! Entregando evolução consistente, escalável e com correções de rota ágeis. Sempre com ótimo atendimento das equipes CWS.

### "Customer View" — 3.0/5

> **Alexandre** | *09 June 2026* | Consumer Goods | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: CWS team is very committed to the customer success, specially the team of growth and business inteligence.
> 
> **Cons**: Timming for customization and development of new features and lack of connectors to marketing solutions APIs
> 
> We've been CWS customers for more than 4 years. We've a very good start, from less than 1% of ebusiness sales share to more than 18%, but too dependent of our own sales force. When we've stopped pushing the sales force, sales share dropped to 5%.

### "Nosso balcão de negocios" — 5.0/5

> **Aluísio** | *03 July 2026* | Farming | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: A quantidade de recursos que a plataforma oferece para o meu negócio e a capacidade de inovar são parte da essência da empresa.
> 
> **Cons**: Hoje em dia, tudo acontece muito rápido e as pessoas têm menos paciência para esperar, mesmo que sejam apenas 30 minutos. Às vezes, surge uma dúvida específica na minha equipe e precisamos abrir um ticket. Embora o suporte demore cerca de 30 minutos para responder, a equipe tem dificuldade para aguardar. No fundo, entendo que o problema não é o tempo de resposta do suporte, mas sim a gestão da ansiedade e do fluxo de trabalho da minha própria equipe. 
Até o presente momento é o único ponto que tenho a citar e tem mais haver com a cultura da minha empresa.
> 
> Já são quase 3 anos de plataforma, nos quais aprendemos muito. Viemos da loja física e resolvemos nos aventurar no digital, e a CWS nos ajudou muito com as melhores práticas desse novo ambiente de negócios. Ela foi crucial na tomada de decisão de algumas de nossas políticas de vendas online e, como já citado, a tecnologia utilizada nos ajudou — e continua ajudando — a melhorar o nosso fluxo a cada dia.

### "Interface intuitiva com suporte que resolve" — 4.0/5

> **Valmir** | *08 July 2026* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Centralização de Informações: A capacidade de reunir dados complexos de produtos, catálogos e consultas em um só lugar, facilitando a busca rápida e precisa.
Interface Intuitiva e Navegação Fluida: Uma plataforma bem estruturada economiza tempo no dia a dia, permitindo que a resposta para um cliente ou a identificação de um item seja feita em poucos cliques.
> 
> **Cons**: Existe uma necessidade de Automação de Processos: Menos trabalho manual na hora de devolver um pedido ou solicitar uma garantia. Quando existe essa necessidade o cliente precisa entrar em contato com o fabricante e o fabricante solicitar ao lojista o código de postagem para a devolução.
> 
> O respaldo da equipe de apoio tem sido fundamental para o andamentos dos processos, e a facilidade de comunicação entre as equipes.

Because the core is deterministic, the same input always produces the same, policy-compliant result, with approval limits, credit validation, and margin protection applied before any order advances.\n\nThat governed foundation is what makes AI safe at enterprise scale. CWS runs specialized AI agents for sales, purchasing, and catalog operations, each acting under the same rules a human user would. Agents can generate quotes, apply customer-specific pricing, and execute transactions, but never invent a discount or place an order outside policy.\nThe platform is API-first and built to grow with the business, integrating with existing ERPs and letting organizations start with a simple catalog portal and expand into governed negotiation and AI-powered trading in phases, with every action fully auditable.\n\nGlobal leaders such as Pirelli, Bunge, and Mahle run their complex distribution operations on CWS Platform.","image":"https://gdm-catalog-fmapi-prod.imgix.net/ProductScreenshot/0b269d57-1775-4fae-859b-b0dc81cfe756.png","url":"https://www.getapp.za.com/software/2085175/cws-platform","@type":"SoftwareApplication","@id":"https://www.getapp.za.com/software/2085175/cws-platform#software","applicationCategory":"BusinessApplication","publisher":{"@id":"https://www.getapp.za.com/#organization"},"aggregateRating":{"@type":"AggregateRating","ratingValue":4.7,"bestRating":5,"ratingCount":9},"operatingSystem":"Cloud, Apple, Windows, Linux, Windows on premise, Linux on premise, Chrome, Android, Platform ios, Platform ipad"},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"name":"Home","position":1,"item":"/","@type":"ListItem"},{"name":"B2B eCommerce Software","position":2,"item":"/directory/2627/b2b-ecommerce-platform/software","@type":"ListItem"},{"name":"CWS Platform","position":3,"item":"/software/2085175/cws-platform","@type":"ListItem"}],"@id":"https://www.getapp.za.com/software/2085175/cws-platform#breadcrumblist"}]}
