BLS QCEW data for 2024 shows computer and electronic product manufacturing at 1.99 times its national share of jobs and household appliances and electrical and electronic goods merchant wholesalers at 2.12 times, while manufacturing overall is below the national share at 0.76. Shopify B2B runs on the Basic, Grow, Advanced and Plus plans. Uncap publishes its prices: Uncap Blueprint is $7,500 for four weeks, and a migration typically takes 10 to 16 weeks. Uncap is a Shopify Platinum Partner that builds Shopify B2B commerce for electronics manufacturers, component distributors, wholesalers and the other B2B sellers of the Phoenix-Mesa-Chandler metro. Below you will find where the team works from, what Bureau of Labor Statistics data says about the metro's electronics supply chain, which Shopify plan a part-number catalog needs, and what a project with Uncap costs. ## The office question, answered before anything else Uncap does not have a Phoenix office. The company is headquartered in Chicago, at 8770 West Bryn Mawr Ave, Suite 1300, Chicago, IL 60631, and works with businesses across the United States. For a project in the Phoenix area, Uncap's team, based at its Chicago headquarters, travels on site for kickoff and key milestones. That covers the whole metro as the federal government draws it. Under the July 2023 delineation published by the Census Bureau, the Phoenix-Mesa-Chandler, AZ metropolitan area is Maricopa County and Pinal County, and its principal cities are Phoenix, Mesa, Chandler, Scottsdale, Tempe, Gilbert and Casa Grande. A distributor in Tempe, a contract manufacturer in Chandler and a wholesaler in Mesa get the same arrangement. Each build is scoped and priced in full, with its schedule set, before any work starts. Use the on-site days for the decisions that need people in one room, such as how account pricing is structured, which data the ERP owns, and how buyers search the catalog. When you compare partners, put the same question to each: who will be in your building, at which points in the project, and what is fixed in the contract before they arrive. Uncap's answer is the Chicago team, at kickoff and key milestones, with scope, timeline and budget fixed first. ## Computer and electronic products in the BLS count Computer and electronic products run well above the national share. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW), the Phoenix-Mesa-Chandler metro averaged 372 private computer and electronic product manufacturing establishments in 2024, employing 30,812 people. The industry's share of local jobs was 1.99 times its share nationally. The distributors that sell this kind of product are higher still against the national figure. In 2024, QCEW counts 968 private household appliances and electrical and electronic goods merchant wholesaler establishments in the metro, employing 12,146 people, and that industry's share of local jobs was 2.12 times the national share. Professional and commercial equipment and supplies merchant wholesalers add 1,938 establishments and 15,529 jobs, with an employment location quotient of 1.37. Wholesale as a whole sits near the national average. QCEW counts 10,738 private wholesale trade establishments and 94,738 jobs in 2024, an employment location quotient of 1.02. The monthly Current Employment Statistics survey, not seasonally adjusted, shows 102,500 wholesale trade jobs in September 2026, a preliminary figure, out of 2,475,200 total nonfarm jobs, also preliminary. For a seller of components, connectors, boards or electrical supplies, the catalog questions are specific: part numbers and manufacturer part numbers, spec attributes buyers filter on, datasheets, and prices that change with quantity and account. Uncap's pages on [electronic components ecommerce](/industry/electronic-components) and [electrical distribution](/industry/electrical-distribution) go into that catalog work. ## Semiconductors, aerospace and a below-average manufacturing share Manufacturing as a whole is below the national share in this metro. QCEW counts 3,900 private manufacturing establishments and 147,854 manufacturing jobs in 2024, with an employment location quotient of 0.76. The concentration is in specific industries. - Semiconductor and other electronic component manufacturing: 162 private establishments in 2024, an establishment location quotient of 1.88. BLS suppresses the employment figure for this industry in the metro, so there is no job count to report. - Aerospace product and parts manufacturing: 112 private establishments in 2024, an establishment location quotient of 1.99. QCEW employment for this industry is also suppressed. The monthly survey publishes an aerospace series for the metro: 17,200 aerospace product and parts manufacturing jobs in September 2026, preliminary and not seasonally adjusted. Total manufacturing in the same monthly series was 147,500 jobs in September 2026, also preliminary. The two BLS programs measure employment differently, so their figures are best read separately. If you supply those plants as a machine shop, a component maker or a distributor, your B2B buyers are likely engineers and purchasing teams. Plan the store for someone who arrives with a part number or a spec and expects to see a negotiated price on the result. ## Sky Harbor freight and warehouse employment Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport handled 358,426 tons of air cargo, freight and mail combined, in calendar 2025, according to the City of Phoenix Aviation Department's annual statistical report. The report puts that at 5.7% above 2024. Warehousing employment runs above the national share even though the count of sites does not. QCEW counts 237 private warehousing and storage establishments in the metro in 2024, employing 42,665 people. Warehousing's share of local jobs was 1.48 times the national share, while its share of establishments was 0.85 times. The monthly survey shows 125,100 jobs in transportation, warehousing and utilities in September 2026, preliminary and not seasonally adjusted. For a B2B seller, those numbers point to a practical question: where your stock sits and how a buyer sees it. If you ship from more than one warehouse, or hold consigned stock for key accounts, the store has to show availability that matches what the warehouse can actually pick. That data lives in your ERP or warehouse system, which is why the integration is planned with the store rather than after it. ## Part-number catalogs on Shopify's standard and Plus plans Shopify Plus is not a requirement for B2B. Shopify's B2B features are available on the Basic, Grow, Advanced and Plus plans. What Plus changes is capacity: below Plus, a store has up to 3 active catalog assignments across active B2B markets, according to Shopify's help center, and Plus has no such limit. Count how many distinct product and price sets your trade buyers need before you pick a plan. A distributor that runs one contractor price list and one OEM price list may fit inside the limit. A component seller with separate pricing for each major account, each region and each channel partner will need Plus sooner. Payment rules matter for electronics orders too: - Shop Pay: Shopify lists Shop Pay, Shop Cash and Shop Pay Installments among the payment methods that are incompatible with Shopify B2B, so trade checkout runs without them. - Deposits: "Deposit requirements are available only on the Shopify Plus plan," per Shopify's help center. If you take a deposit on long-lead or custom parts, plan for Plus. - Terms: Shopify's definition is short: "Payment terms define how long a company has to pay for an order." Uncap's [Shopify for distributors](/solutions/distributors) page covers catalogs, account pricing and reordering for companies that resell what others make. ## Quotes, trade accounts and ERP data for component sellers Three pieces of Uncap's work fit a part-number business directly. - Quotes for volume and custom orders: Uncap Quotes turns your catalog into instant, account-specific quotes. Buyers set the configuration and price themselves, then check out, which spares reps from rebuilding the same quote in a spreadsheet. An approved quote becomes a Shopify order in one click. - Self-serve accounts: Uncap Portal gives trade accounts a self-serve home on Shopify, with catalogs, pricing, reorders, invoices and users, so buyers help themselves and reps stop fielding the same requests. - ERP connection: Uncap Connect starts at $8,000 for onboarding and then a flat $390 per month. Uncap Connect is one route and a managed integration is the other; the system you run decides between them. Uncap integrates Shopify with ERP and back-office systems from 13 vendors: Acumatica, Cin7, Epicor, Fishbowl, Infor, Microsoft Dynamics, NetSuite, Odoo, Oracle, QuickBooks, Sage, SAP and Syspro. For a specific ERP and the depth of sync your operation needs, the Uncap team confirms fit directly. To prepare for that conversation, list the ERP and version you run, the fields buyers need on the product page (stock by warehouse, lead time, minimum order quantity), and where contract prices are maintained today. Those answers set the shape of the integration. ## What hiring Uncap costs and how long it takes Yes, you can hire a team to build your Shopify store, and Uncap publishes its starting prices. [Uncap Blueprint](/blueprint) is a $7,500 fixed-price, four-week plan covering architecture, integrations and total cost of ownership, yours to keep. It is built for operators doing $5M+ in revenue, and the fee is credited 1:1 toward implementation. Builds are fixed scope, and Uncap Connect starts at $8,000 plus $390 a month. The work runs in this order: - Plan. Uncap Blueprint, if you want architecture and costs settled before committing to a build. - Fix the scope. Price and schedule are settled before any build work. - Kick off on site. Uncap's team comes from Chicago to your site for kickoff, then returns for key milestones. - Build or migrate. Through Uncap's Shopify development services, a senior team handles architecture, design, theme and app development, ERP and system integration, data migration with SEO redirects, and launch. - Launch and hypercare. The project runs through launch to completion, with a hypercare period after go-live. On timing: a new build runs about 12 weeks from discovery to launch. A [migration from another platform](/migrations) typically takes 10 to 16 weeks, with a median cutover of around 14 weeks. Unifying B2B and B2C on a Shopify store you already run takes 4 to 8 weeks. ## Distribution and parts work to check, and where to start None of Uncap's published case studies is from the Phoenix metro. These two Uncap clients are the closest fit for an electronics or parts catalog, and neither is in Arizona: - ULE Group: ULE Group sells electrical, power and lighting supplies as a distributor, and Uncap built the Shopify B2B storefront where its catalog of over 250,000 SKUs now lives. Product information management keeps the catalog in order, on-site search has more than 100 filters, and inventory and pricing sync from its Epicor ERP. - Scooterworks: the company sells scooters, parts and accessories to both retail buyers and authorized dealers. Uncap rebuilt its store on Shopify with a custom Year-Make-Model search, shoppable parts diagrams and an ERP integration. In a Clutch review, the company's Director of Operations put it this way: "We got a great-looking and functioning site and didn't have to move to a much more expensive ERP to get there." Uncap is rated 5.0 on Clutch from 77 reviews, 5.0 on Google from 64, and 4.6 on Trustpilot from 20. For longer accounts in clients' own words, see the [testimonials](/testimonials) page.
