According to Bureau of Labor Statistics QCEW data, the metro had 2,723 private merchant wholesalers of durable goods employing 32,146 people in 2024, and truck transportation employment was 1.69 times as concentrated as it is nationally. Uncap integrates Shopify with ERP and back-office systems from 13 vendors, Uncap Blueprint is a $7,500 fixed-price, four-week engagement, and a migration typically takes 10 to 16 weeks. Uncap's team, based at its Chicago headquarters, travels on site for kickoff and key milestones. Manufacturers, distributors and wholesalers in Indianapolis and the wider Indianapolis-Carmel-Greenwood metro can work with Uncap, a Chicago-based Shopify Platinum Partner, on Shopify B2B commerce. Its team, based at Uncap's Chicago headquarters, travels on site for kickoff and key milestones. ## Where the team is based and when it comes to Indianapolis From its headquarters at 8770 West Bryn Mawr Ave, Suite 1300, Chicago, Uncap works with businesses across the United States. For an Indianapolis project, Uncap's team, based at its Chicago headquarters, travels on site for kickoff and key milestones. That holds anywhere in the metro, which the Bureau of Labor Statistics calls Indianapolis-Carmel-Greenwood, IN. The kickoff visit is the best time to show the team how an order really moves through your business. Walk them through how a trade buyer places a reorder, who sets account pricing, which warehouse ships the order and where the ERP takes over. Those details shape the build. If time in person matters to how you buy, ask during scoping which milestones the visits cover, so they sit on the project calendar from the start. The projects are Shopify development for manufacturers, distributors and operator-led brands. A project can move a business off another platform, stand up a new storefront or B2B ordering portal, or bring B2B and B2C onto one store. ## Trucking, warehousing and air cargo around Indianapolis Trucking and warehousing are more concentrated in this metro than in the US as a whole. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW), the Indianapolis-Carmel-Greenwood metro averaged 1,302 private truck transportation establishments employing 17,999 people in 2024. Truck transportation's employment location quotient was 1.69: its share of all jobs in the metro was 1.69 times its share of all jobs nationally. Warehousing shows up in the establishment count. The same 2024 QCEW data lists 236 private warehousing and storage establishments, an establishment location quotient of 2.08, about twice the national share. BLS does not publish the metro's 2024 warehousing employment. BLS monthly estimates put transportation, warehousing and utilities at 86,600 jobs in September 2026 (preliminary, not seasonally adjusted). Indianapolis International Airport (IND) adds air cargo. According to the Indianapolis Airport Authority, IND "is home to the second-largest FedEx Express operation," and, citing Airports Council International North America, it is "the nation’s ninth largest cargo facility." The authority says the airport is "moving over one million tons of time and temperature sensitive cargo annually" and "partners with industry leading air cargo service providers helping move life sciences and other critical supply chain needs forward." For a business that ships by truck and air every day, the store has to show accurate stock, carry the right shipping data and send clean orders to the ERP. If your catalog includes temperature-sensitive or regulated items, bring those handling rules to scoping so the build accounts for them. ## Durable-goods wholesalers and the manufacturers that sell through them Most of the metro's wholesale establishments sell durable goods. BLS QCEW data shows 2,723 private merchant wholesalers of durable goods in the Indianapolis-Carmel-Greenwood metro in 2024, employing 32,146 people. Their establishment location quotient was 1.61 and their employment location quotient 1.34, so both the firms and the jobs are more concentrated here than nationally. Across all of wholesale trade, QCEW counts 4,211 private establishments for 2024; BLS does not publish the metro's total wholesale employment for that year. BLS monthly estimates put wholesale trade at 53,200 jobs in September 2026 (preliminary, not seasonally adjusted). Manufacturers are the other group this page is for. In 2024 the metro averaged 2,047 private manufacturing establishments with 95,728 employees, according to QCEW. Manufacturing's employment location quotient was 1.07, close to the national share, but its total-wages location quotient was 1.43, which means manufacturing accounts for a larger share of the metro's total wages than it does nationally. The September 2026 BLS estimate is 96,800 manufacturing jobs (preliminary, not seasonally adjusted), essentially flat on September 2025's 96,700. Total nonfarm employment in the metro was about 1.18 million in September 2026 (preliminary, not seasonally adjusted). The rest of this page is for those durable-goods distributors and for manufacturers that sell through them or alongside them. The [Shopify for distributors](/solutions/distributors) page covers that work in more depth. ## What a Shopify B2B store needs for trade accounts, and which plan covers it Shopify B2B is part of the Basic, Grow, Advanced and Shopify Plus plans, so a distributor does not have to start on Plus. Catalogs are what usually decide the plan. Below Plus, on Basic, Grow and Advanced, a store gets up to 3 active catalog assignments across active B2B markets, and assigning the same active catalog to two active B2B markets counts as two assignments. Plus has no such limit and also lets you assign catalogs straight to company locations. A wholesaler with many price tiers, or buyers who need catalogs by location, should price Plus early. Trade accounts can keep buying on terms. In Shopify's words, payment terms define how long a company has to pay for an order. For manufacturers, distributors and wholesalers, [Uncap's Shopify development services](/commerce) cover the work around the plan, in one fixed-scope build: - Architecture and data migration: the catalog structure, the data moved over from the old platform, and SEO redirects. - Design, theme and app development: the store your buyers use and any custom apps it needs. - ERP and system integration: the connection to the system that holds inventory, pricing and orders. - Launch: the project runs to completion, with a hypercare launch. Trade accounts that want a self-serve home can get one with [Uncap Portal](/products/portal), which gives them catalogs, pricing, reorders, invoices and users on Shopify. ## Keeping Shopify and the ERP in agreement on stock, price and orders The 13 ERP and back-office vendors on Uncap's integration list are Acumatica, Cin7, Epicor, Fishbowl, Infor, Microsoft Dynamics, NetSuite, Odoo, Oracle, QuickBooks, Sage, SAP and Syspro. The [integrations page](/integrations) lists each one. The connection runs through [Uncap Connect](/products/connect) or a managed integration, depending on the system, and the Uncap team checks fit for your specific ERP and version. Setup for Uncap Connect starts at $8,000, and the subscription after that is a flat $390 a month. The ERP remains your system of record throughout. What the integration has to carry depends on how you sell. These are the questions to settle during scoping: - Price: which system owns it, and how account-specific prices reach Shopify. - Inventory: how stock is counted when it sits in more than one warehouse. - Orders: how an order placed on Shopify gets into the ERP, and how shipment and invoice status get back to the buyer. - Version: which ERP version you run, and whether any customizations affect the connection. For a distributor that ships from more than one dock, it helps to write down how inventory and orders move today, dock by dock, before the first workshop. ## New build or migration: how an engagement runs and what it costs Whether you are launching on Shopify for the first time or moving from another platform, the engagement follows the same order. The prices and timelines below are Uncap's published figures. - Plan with Uncap Blueprint. Uncap Blueprint is a $7,500 fixed-price, four-week engagement covering architecture, integrations and total cost of ownership, and the plan is yours to keep. When Uncap carries the plan into implementation, the fee is credited 1:1 toward it. - Agree the scope. Uncap fixes the scope, so the build's timeline and budget are settled before any work begins. - Kick off on site. The kickoff happens on site, with Uncap's team at your location. - Build or migrate. For a new build, plan on about 12 weeks from discovery to launch. A move from another platform is longer, typically 10 to 16 weeks, with Uncap's median cutover at around 14 weeks. If you already run Shopify and want B2B and B2C on the same store, plan on 4 to 8 weeks. - Milestones and launch. Key milestones bring the team back on site, and launch comes with hypercare. - Improve after launch. Ongoing monthly plans work on revenue, conversion, retention and operations, from $2,500 a month. On what Shopify experts charge: a build's price is set for each project and agreed in the fixed scope before work begins. The published starting points are Blueprint at $7,500, Uncap Connect at $8,000 to set up plus $390 a month, and monthly plans from $2,500. ## Distributor and manufacturer builds from Uncap's case studies The three clients below are Uncap clients, shown here as examples rather than local references.

Have a rough count of products, the number of buyer groups that get their own price list, the ERP and version you run, the warehouses you ship from and the date you need to be live. Each of those points to a decision. The buyer-group count tells you whether three active catalog assignments are enough or whether Plus belongs in the budget. The ERP and version set the integration path. The warehouse list shapes how inventory shows up for buyers. The go-live date shows whether Blueprint should come first or whether the scope is clear enough to start the build. If you are still deciding between a new store and a migration, Blueprint answers that in four weeks for $7,500. If the scope is already settled, the build starts with a fixed timeline and budget. Either way, the team travels on site for kickoff and key milestones anywhere in the Indianapolis-Carmel-Greenwood metro.
