Ecommerce Platform for PVF Distributors

Project-based ordering, commodity pricing updates, ERP-connected inventory and pricing, and pipe and valve specification search. ROC Commerce is purpose-built for PVF distributors serving specification-driven industrial buyers.

Bridging the Digital Gap in PVF Distribution 

PVF spend across the U.S. and Canada reached $42.5 billion in 2025 (Source). PHCP-PVF ecommerce grew from 9.3% in 2023 to 12.2% in 2025, yet 59% of distributors still generate less than 10% online (Source). Because buyers order by specification and project, B2B ecommerce for PVF companies must go beyond basic shopping carts and connect front-end buying with back-office data.

Specification-Based Product Search

PVF buyers don’t search by product names. They search by pipe schedule, including SCH 40, SCH 80, and SCH 160. They filter by NPS, ANSI/ASME standard, material grade, end connection, and pressure rating. Our pipe valve fittings ecommerce software handles this technical attribute filtering. ROC Commerce search ensures procurement teams find the right specification on the first search. This matters because 85% of B2B buyers will leave if they hit a digital ordering roadblock (Source).

We sync pricing directly from your ERP so buyers see current costs without having to call.

PVF distribution ecommerce software relies on a strong data foundation. Our PVF ERP ecommerce integration connects systems like Epicor Prophet 21, Epicor Eclipse, Infor CloudSuite, and NetSuite. Our Epicor Prophet 21 PVF ecommerce integration surfaces branch-level stock, syncs pricing, and maintains the exact data integrity your industrial buyers expect.
