E-commerce is widely used for buying and selling of products using the internet. It is the preferred way of shopping because of its convenience. This paper discusses the development of an ecommerce platform with inventory integration for a mining equipment supplier companies. Because of e-commerce's low barrier of entry, many vendors and distributors sell directly to customers. With this, there is an opportunity to automate the business processes of the mid-size mining equipment supplier company to improve the service and sales performance. In turn, it can ease the management profit of the distributor channel. The system produces an e-commerce web application that can be overall access by the administrator. Likewise, distributors and customers' accounts can be partly access through the web application. This research includes modules to improve the system such as admin module, vendor module, distributor module, customer module and IT management system.
