Considering Drupal's nature, we designed a well-thought, multi-level data access system, with differentiated permissions based on business contracts. By selecting the type of contract, the administrator automatically adds all access to the system for the end user. Moreover, the system solved the problem of several logins to handle one process. Since then, all the information about a particular B2B customer is on one website. 

In addition to unifying the software supporting the business process, we reorganized and redesigned the login method and key functions. Firstly, we implemented an auto login system to the service panel, allowing for secure authentication of users who use the service most often. Secondly, we designed a comprehensive information transfer system for contractors.

Based on our knowledge and experience in building custom business software, we chose the latest Drupal version as the project’s foundation.

Apart from our experience in this technology, there were many reasons for choosing Drupal:

• the client’s e-commerce home page was built using this technology, which allows for secure and simple integrations and data transfer;
• the solution should work on multiple browsers to avoid different software versions and manual installation on each company system;
• the software must be available for employees from different company’s departments: from sales, through accounting, to logistics;
• the solution should be easy to manage and have the right hierarchy of access to particular information;
• ensuring data security is essential, particularly when external companies are accessing part of the system.

As you can see, Drupal meets all the requirements. Moreover, as a CMS, it is simple and intuitive. 

It is worth noting that to complete this project, we used a combination of Open Source solutions and custom integrations with the existing Velo infrastructure. In addition to basing the project on the Drupal platform, we integrated it with the Comarch CRM system. The database is based on MySQL technology.
