According to BLS QCEW data, the metro averaged 424 medical, dental, and hospital equipment and supplies merchant wholesaler establishments in 2024 (establishment location quotient 1.89) and 258 drug and druggists' sundries merchant wholesaler establishments (1.74). Uncap's team, based at its Chicago headquarters, travels on site for kickoff and key milestones. Uncap Blueprint, a fixed-price plan, costs $7,500 and takes four weeks, and a migration usually takes 10 to 16 weeks. ## Healthcare supply wholesale in the Nashville metro Start with the B2B side of healthcare supply. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics' Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW), the Nashville-Davidson-Murfreesboro-Franklin, TN metro averaged 424 private medical, dental, and hospital equipment and supplies merchant wholesaler establishments in 2024. That group's establishment location quotient was 1.89: its share of the metro's business establishments was 1.89 times its share nationally. The same 2024 QCEW data counts 258 drug and druggists' sundries merchant wholesaler establishments in the metro, with an establishment location quotient of 1.74. BLS does not publish employment for either group here, so both figures count businesses, not workers. Wholesale in general runs above the national share too. In 2024 the metro had 5,060 private wholesale trade establishments (establishment location quotient 1.23), and 3,168 of them were durable goods merchant wholesalers (1.45). BLS puts wholesale trade employment at 48,000 jobs in September 2026, a preliminary figure. Manufacturing sits close to the national pattern. QCEW counted 2,800 private manufacturing establishments employing 87,080 people in 2024, and manufacturing's employment location quotient was 0.97, about the national share. So this page is written mainly for the distributors and wholesalers that move medical, dental, pharmacy and auto product through Middle Tennessee, and for the manufacturers that sell to them. Under the Census Bureau's July 2023 delineation, the metro covers 14 Tennessee counties: Cannon, Cheatham, Davidson, Dickson, Hickman, Macon, Maury, Robertson, Rutherford, Smith, Sumner, Trousdale, Williamson and Wilson. Read more about how Uncap works with [medical supply businesses](/industry/medical-supply). ## Ordering for hospital, clinic and practice accounts When the customer is a hospital system, a clinic group or a dental practice with several offices, it orders for more than one site. Shopify B2B models that directly. In Shopify's words, "A company is the parent organization for one or more company locations," and "For businesses with multiple locations, you can keep all of their information in one company profile." That buyer becomes one company in Shopify, and each site can have its own shipping and billing address. Pricing follows the account. B2B catalogs let a seller "choose which products and prices to offer your B2B customers," with percentage adjustments, fixed prices and volume pricing for price breaks. Quantity rules (minimum, maximum and increment) handle case packs and box quantities, and Shopify lists them on all four plans that carry B2B. Payment terms can be set for each company location. Shopify defines them simply: "Payment terms define how long a company has to pay for an order." The options include net 7, 15, 30, 45, 60 and 90, due on fulfillment, or a fixed date. Uncap adds two products on top of that. With [Uncap Portal](/products/portal), a trade account signs in to its own area of the store to see its catalog and pricing, reorder, pull invoices and manage its users, so reps get fewer routine requests. For equipment that needs a priced proposal before anyone orders, [Uncap Quotes](/products/quotes) handles configure, price, quote work inside the Shopify admin your team already uses. Once the buyer approves, one click turns the quote into a Shopify order. ## Auto supplier investment from Davidson County to Spring Hill Auto manufacturing is the metro's second B2B story. BLS QCEW data for 2024 counts 97 private motor vehicle parts manufacturing establishments in the metro, with an establishment location quotient of 2.35, and 170 transportation equipment manufacturing establishments in all (1.41). Employment for these groups is not published for the metro, so the figures describe how many plants and firms there are, not how many people they employ. Two recent announcements from the Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development show where money is going: - November 2025, Davidson County: the state announced that an automotive glass manufacturer serving vehicle makers will spend more than $55 million to equip its Davidson County campus with new production lines, creating 143 jobs. - September 2026, Spring Hill: the state announced a $1 billion investment to retool and diversify a battery cell manufacturing plant in Spring Hill, with facility modifications expected to be completed in 2028. This page does not assume those plants need a storefront. The commerce case is for the parts makers and distributors that also sell to dealers, repair shops, fleets and drivers. For those sellers, fitment is the first problem. [Uncap Garage](/products/garage) handles fitment for automotive catalogs on Shopify. A shopper saves a vehicle once and the store shows only parts that fit it, and your team keeps Year/Make/Model data for the whole catalog in one place. Dealer pricing then runs through the same B2B catalogs and payment terms described above, on one store with the retail side. ## Franklin, Murfreesboro and the downtown interstate loop The metro's official title names three of its cities: Nashville, Murfreesboro and Franklin. Three interstates, I-24, I-40 and I-65, meet around downtown Nashville. The Tennessee Department of Transportation calls the stretch of I-24 between I-65 and I-40 the "downtown east loop," and refers to a west loop as well. Spring Hill, down I-65, shows up in both stories. In July 2026 the state announced that a medical device company will move its U.S. headquarters from Franklin to Spring Hill and co-locate what the announcement calls its U.S. manufacturing hub there, on a site near the intersection of I-65 and Saturn Parkway. The project represents an investment of $85 million and is expected to create more than 200 new jobs. Spring Hill, in Maury County, is also where the battery cell plant above is being retooled. For a Shopify B2B store, this geography turns into account data. A distributor serving clinics in Rutherford County, hospitals in Davidson and practices in Williamson keeps each site's shipping address on its company location, and the order lands with the right address and terms attached. Uncap does not have a Nashville office. Uncap's team, based at its Chicago headquarters, travels on site for kickoff and key milestones. That holds whether the business is downtown, in Murfreesboro, or out in Maury County. ## Shopify B2B plan rules a Nashville wholesaler should check first You can run Shopify B2B on four plans: Basic, Grow, Advanced and Shopify Plus. Starter and Retail don't include it. The plan you pick still shapes what the store can do for accounts: - Catalogs: below Plus, Shopify allows up to 3 active catalog assignments across active B2B markets. Plus removes that cap and also lets you assign a catalog straight to a company location. A wholesaler that keeps separate price lists for a hospital group, an independent pharmacy chain and a dental group will want to count assignments before choosing a plan. - Deposits: Shopify states that deposit requirements are available only on the Shopify Plus plan. That matters for equipment sold with money due up front. - Checkout: Shop Pay, Shop Cash and Shop Pay Installments are on Shopify's list of payment methods that don't work with B2B. Business buyers pay another way or order on terms. Map accounts, price lists and payment rules before the build starts and the plan choice gets much easier. That mapping happens in the planning step described below. Uncap's [Shopify build work](/commerce) then sets up companies, catalogs and terms to match that map, so the store launches with the account structure your sales team already uses. ## Shopify and the ERP that runs the warehouse If your item masters, customer accounts, inventory and invoices live in an ERP, the store has to agree with it. Uncap ties Shopify to ERP and back-office software from 13 vendors, running from Acumatica and Cin7 through Epicor, Infor, Microsoft Dynamics and NetSuite to Sage, SAP and Syspro. Each vendor has its own page on Uncap's [ERP integrations hub](/integrations). Some systems connect through [Uncap Connect](/products/connect), others through a managed integration. Which one applies is checked against your ERP and its version before anything is promised. Connect's published price is $8,000 for setup, plus a flat $390 a month. For a medical or drug wholesaler, the fields buyers see are the ones to line up first: which company and location an order belongs to, which catalog and prices apply, which payment terms are on the account, and what is in stock. The build is scoped around that list. If your ERP version or customizations need a different approach, the planning step says so before any build money is spent. The Kooks project below is one example of this work: a manufacturer whose Shopify B2B and D2C store integrates Infor Visual ERP. ## How a Nashville project runs, step by step A project can start with a plan, and every build runs to a fixed scope. How long the rest takes depends on where you are starting from. - Plan with Uncap Blueprint. Uncap Blueprint costs a fixed $7,500 and takes four weeks. You come away with the architecture, the integration plan and a total cost of ownership picture, and you keep all of it. If Uncap goes on to build, the full fee counts toward implementation. - Agree the scope. Budget and timeline are settled before the build begins, and the scope stays fixed. - Build or migrate. One senior team covers the architecture, the design, theme and app work, the ERP and system integration, the data move with SEO redirects, and the launch. Starting from nothing, discovery to launch is about 12 weeks. Coming from another platform, plan on 10 to 16 weeks, with Uncap's median cutover near 14. If a consumer Shopify store already exists, bringing B2B onto it takes 4 to 8 weeks. - Launch with hypercare. Uncap stays on the project through completion, with hypercare at launch. - Keep improving. After launch, Uncap's ongoing monthly engagement keeps working on conversion, order value, retention and operations. Plans start at $2,500 a month. ## Case studies from healthcare and auto parts clients No Uncap case study on this page comes from a Nashville company.

No. Uncap is headquartered at 8770 West Bryn Mawr Ave, Suite 1300, Chicago, IL 60631, and has no Nashville office. Uncap's team, based at its Chicago headquarters, travels on site for kickoff and key milestones on projects in the Nashville metro. ### Do you work with companies in Franklin, Murfreesboro and Spring Hill? Yes. Franklin and Murfreesboro are named in the metro's official title, and Spring Hill is in Maury County, one of the 14 Tennessee counties in the Nashville-Davidson-Murfreesboro-Franklin metro. Uncap works with manufacturers, distributors and wholesalers anywhere in those counties, and its team travels on site from Chicago for kickoff and key milestones. ### Is Shopify Plus required for wholesale ordering? It isn't. Wholesale ordering through Shopify B2B works on Basic, Grow, Advanced and Shopify Plus, though not on Starter or Retail. Two limits apply below Plus: up to 3 active catalog assignments across active B2B markets, and no deposit requirements, which Shopify reserves for Plus. A wholesaler with many separate price lists, or one that takes deposits on equipment, should check those two limits before picking a plan. ### Can a hospital group and a clinic see different prices on the same store? They can. Shopify B2B catalogs let you choose which products and prices each B2B customer sees, with percentage adjustments, fixed prices and volume pricing. A hospital group can be set up as one company with a location per site, each with its own payment terms and shipping address. Below Plus, the 3 catalog assignment limit applies, so the number of distinct price lists affects the plan. ### How much does a Shopify B2B project with Uncap cost? Each build is quoted at a fixed scope once Uncap understands the work, so the total depends on your catalog, integrations and timeline. One way to start is Uncap Blueprint: $7,500, fixed, four weeks, and credited toward the build if Uncap builds it. If you need Uncap Connect, it is $8,000 to set up and $390 a month. Uncap's ongoing monthly engagement after launch starts at $2,500 a month. ### What timeline should we expect for a Shopify migration? Plan on 10 to 16 weeks to move from another platform, with Uncap's median cutover at around 14. A store built from scratch takes about 12 weeks, discovery to launch. When B2B is added to a consumer Shopify store you already run, expect 4 to 8 weeks. Before any of these, Uncap Blueprint takes four weeks to produce the plan. ### Is it better to start a new Shopify store or move our current site? Your starting point decides it. If you sell on another platform, it is a migration, with data migration and SEO redirects, typically 10 to 16 weeks. If you have no online ordering yet, it is a new build of about 12 weeks. If you already have a consumer Shopify store, adding B2B to it takes 4 to 8 weeks. Uncap Blueprint maps which path fits before you commit. ### Which ERP systems can Uncap connect to our store? Uncap works with ERP and back-office systems from 13 vendors. NetSuite, SAP, Epicor, Infor, Microsoft Dynamics, Sage and Acumatica are on that list, along with six others. The route is either Uncap Connect or a managed integration, picked after Uncap checks your system and version. Connect costs $8,000 to set up and then $390 a month. ### Can B2B buyers pay with Shop Pay? No. Shop Pay, Shop Cash and Shop Pay Installments are all on Shopify's list of payment methods incompatible with B2B. Business buyers on a Shopify B2B store pay with the store's other payment methods, or order on payment terms such as net 30 or due on fulfillment, set for each company location.
