B2B ecommerce built around how you sell.
For distributors, wholesalers and importers. Your catalog, your price levels, your repeat accounts. We build exactly what you need, so you don't bend how you sell to fit off-the-shelf software.
Run QuickBooks Desktop? We build and keep your integrations running.
Sites we've built. Each one fits how that business works.
Made-to-order parts, specced by the buyer.
Buyers pick the options and watch the part take shape in 3D. The configurator builds the part number, the drawing and the CAD files. Stocked configurations go to the cart. Custom builds land in your inbox as exact quote requests, not a week of emails to pin down the spec.

A storefront built around your catalog and how you price it.
Repeat accounts log in, see their own prices and reorder by part number.
Orders become QuickBooks invoices through the Web Connector. No retyping.
Emailed POs are read, matched to your prices and drafted as orders. You approve each.
A small team. You talk to the people who write the code.
Colibri Connect is a team in Pompano Beach, FL, led by David Aleman.
We build B2B ecommerce sites and buyer portals for distributors, wholesalers and importers, and we build and run QuickBooks Desktop automations for businesses whose integrations nobody can maintain.
One page. Your accounts order everything from it.
No catalog to click through, no cart maze. Your accounts log in to a single order form with their own prices on every line, and order without calling you.

Not ready for a portal? Start with the inbox.
Your customers keep emailing POs. AI reads each one, matches the part numbers to your price list, flags price mismatches, and drafts the order in QuickBooks. You approve it.
Desktop isn't going away. Your integrations need an owner.
We build QuickBooks Desktop automations through the Web Connector and keep them running. If it can be done through QuickBooks, we can build it.
Orders into invoices
Running for a clientOrders from your site, portal or an emailed PO become QuickBooks invoices or sales orders. Nobody retypes them.
Inventory to your site
Quantities on hand in QuickBooks update your site, so buyers see what's actually in stock.
Price levels to the portal
The price levels you already keep in QuickBooks become each account's prices online.
Customers and items
Create a customer or an item once. It shows up on both sides, without duplicates.
Payments recorded
Card and ACH payments taken online are applied to the right invoice in QuickBooks.
The sync nobody owns
Web Connector errors, a stuck queue, a developer who left. We take over the code, fix it and keep it running.
Most retainers start with a sync that broke.
- 01We look at what you runYour QuickBooks version, the Web Connector apps, and what breaks. 15 minutes on a call.
- 02We fix it or build itBroken syncs first. Then the automation you need next, quoted before we start.
- 03We keep it runningWe watch the sync, fix it when it breaks, and use your banked hours on what's next.
- 10 hours a month, banked
- Fixes when the sync breaks
- New automations from the same hours
- Overage billed at the same rate
What people ask before they book.
How long does a build take?+−
A buyer portal can go live in about a week. A full site takes up to a month, often less if you have your product data, photos and copy ready.
What if we need something off-the-shelf software can't do?+−
We build it. Elevate-Derm needed NPI-screened sign-up, member and admin dashboards, courses and events in one platform, so we built that platform.
Do we have to leave QuickBooks?+−
No. The site, the portal and the AI order desk write into the QuickBooks you already run, through the Web Connector on Desktop.
Can you build other QuickBooks automations?+−
Yes. The portal-to-invoice sync is one example. If it can be done through QuickBooks, we can build it, and the retainer covers keeping it running.
The developer who built our QuickBooks sync is gone. Can you take it over?+−
Yes. That's the most common way the retainer starts. We read the code and the Web Connector setup, fix what's broken, and document it so you're never stuck again.
Who approves the orders the AI drafts?+−
You do. A person approves every draft order or quote before it goes into QuickBooks.
What does the $3k/mo cover?+−
The site, the portal and hosting. Builds start at $10k, and there is a 6-month minimum after the build.
Is QuickBooks Desktop going away?+−
No. Intuit has no plans to end QuickBooks Desktop. New customers can buy only Desktop Enterprise. Pro and Premier are no longer sold to new US customers.
Can you build a product configurator or CPQ?+−
Yes. For Sanitube we built a fitting builder: buyers configure a custom spool, sweep or tee and get the part number, a drawing and CAD files. Stocked parts go to the cart and custom builds become quote requests with the full spec. Try it at sanitube.us/smart-fitting-builder.
What happens after the call?+−
If it fits, you get a written quote.
