VC Distributions, a Montreal-based wholesale distributor of premium tableware and kitchenware, partnered with us to build a professional e-commerce platform on Shopify. Since 2016, they've been supplying restaurants, hotels, bars, golf clubs, and banquet halls with high-end glassware, porcelain, cutlery, and kitchen essentials. They needed a site that could handle their B2B workflow, from product browsing and custom quote requests to business account management and Net 30 payment terms. We built a clean, functional Shopify store that organizes their extensive product catalog and makes it easy for hospitality professionals across Quebec and Ontario to find what they need and place orders.
Client Objective
VC Distributions needed a modern e-commerce platform that matched the premium quality of the products they supply. With an extensive catalog spanning glassware, porcelain dishware, cutlery, bakeware, and kitchen accessories, plus custom printing services, they wanted a streamlined online ordering experience built specifically for their B2B hospitality clients across Quebec and Ontario.
Solution
We built a custom Shopify store designed around the B2B buying experience. The site features organized product categories, a quote request system for volume orders, business account functionality with Net 30 payment terms, and a clean layout that lets hospitality buyers browse and order efficiently. Custom printing options are highlighted throughout, giving clients an easy path to branded glassware.
Results
VC Distributions now has a professional e-commerce platform that serves their hospitality clients around the clock. The organized product catalog and streamlined ordering process make it simple for restaurants, hotels, and venues to browse, request quotes, and place orders, reducing friction and supporting the growth of their wholesale business across Quebec and Ontario.
Challenges
VC Distributions had been serving the hospitality industry since 2016, but their online presence wasn't keeping pace with their product range or client expectations. With a catalog that includes everything from wine glasses and champagne flutes to porcelain plates and professional cookware, the challenge was building a site that organized hundreds of products without overwhelming buyers.
On top of that, the site needed to support a B2B workflow that's very different from standard retail e-commerce. Quote-based ordering, business account approvals, Net 30 terms, and custom printing requests all had to be baked into the experience. We needed to build something that felt premium and professional while handling the complexity of wholesale distribution behind the scenes.
Interesting Takeaways
The Shopify build for VC Distributions was designed to make wholesale ordering feel effortless. We structured the product catalog into clear categories, glassware, porcelain, cutlery, pots and pans, bakeware, and accessories, so hospitality buyers can find exactly what they need in seconds.
The custom printing feature is surfaced throughout the shopping experience, turning a standard product page into a branding opportunity for restaurants and venues looking to personalize their glassware. Combined with the quote system and business account functionality, the site handles the full B2B sales cycle from first visit to fulfilled order.
Results
Since launching their new Shopify store, VC Distributions has a digital storefront that reflects the quality of the brands they carry. The professional design and intuitive navigation create confidence from the first click, which is exactly what hospitality buyers need when sourcing tableware for their business.
The streamlined ordering process, flexible payment terms, and 7-day premium support mean clients across Quebec and Ontario can shop on their schedule. The site now works as a true extension of the VC Distributions sales team, handling product discovery, quoting, and ordering around the clock.
