Which B2B sectors use Fonda?

Fonda was built for SMEs who want to serve their business customers online — without a patchwork of tools and no enterprise budgets. The platform bundles e-commerce, customer portal, product management (PIM), media library (DAM) and AI into one integrated solution that works as an extension of your ERP.

Based on the Belgian market structure, there are a number of sectors where SMEs with 30 to 300 employees benefit most from a B2B commerce platform: from machine builders with complex spare parts catalogues to food wholesalers with weekly repeat orders and facility suppliers with multi-location customers. Each sector has its own pain points — and Fonda solves them.
