Solutionists

Solutionists is an Australian and New Zealand software company founded in 2003 that creates and supports MaxCommerce, a purpose-built B2B and B2C ecommerce platform. The company operates out of offices in Auckland and Melbourne and works with resellers, vertical software businesses, wholesalers, distributors, and retailers to deliver integrated digital solutions.

The platform is specifically designed for wholesalers, distributors, trade suppliers, and manufacturers who require account-based pricing, ERP-connected stock and orders, and a self-service portal. It also serves multi-store retailers and department stores that need a reliable, integrated online channel alongside their physical locations.

MaxCommerce includes native features for account-specific pricing, trade account tools, and conversion-focused storefronts without needing third-party apps or custom builds. It supports GST, NZD, and AUD currencies, along with local freight carriers and payment gateways like Windcave and Till out of the box.

The company has been operating since 2003, combining over 20 years of ecommerce experience with the backing of Vela APX, a Constellation Software (TSX: CSU) company. This structure provides access to a strong international network while maintaining local expertise for Australian and New Zealand trade businesses.

Auckland Level 1, Building C 600 Great South Road Ellerslie Auckland 1051 New Zealand and Melbourne Level 2, 101 Cremorne Street Richmond VIC 3121. The business also accepts mail at PO Box 11-064 Ellerslie Auckland 1542 New Zealand.

The team is described as highly skilled, professional, and responsive, with a strong commitment to customer satisfaction and attention to detail. Reviewers consistently praise the seamless integration of the platform and the quality of the support provided by the Solutionists team.

The onboarding process is designed to get businesses live efficiently rather than requiring months of custom development. This approach allows growing B2B businesses to scale their operations without needing to re-platform later.

MaxCommerce integrates with business systems to keep products, pricing, customers, stock, and orders connected, which reduces manual processes and streamlines operations. This seamless integration is a key feature that helps businesses operate more efficiently.

The platform is purpose-built around real customer needs and is continuously developed to combine powerful features with seamless integration. It can be configured to suit different businesses without starting from scratch.

The company works closely with resellers and vertical software businesses to develop ecommerce solutions around the real requirements of their customers. This vertical specialization empowers clients while creating opportunities for mutual success.

MaxCommerce handles complex pricing structures, large product catalogues with technical attributes, and fast, reliable self-service ordering for engineering and industrial suppliers. These features are natively supported within the platform.

The website states that the platform is backed by over 20 years of expertise and is used to transform ecommerce offerings for businesses across various industries. It is positioned as a strategic advantage rather than just a website platform.

Some reviewers note that the team is always responsive and goes above and beyond to ensure customer satisfaction. Others mention that the solutions have greatly improved efficiency and productivity for their businesses.
