Why Pocketknife

Start with the foundation.
Decide what comes next.

Agencies should not have to build complex commerce infrastructure from scratch. Pocketknife provides the essential integration and B2B capabilities, while the agency decides how the solution should be configured, presented and extended for each client.

A proven starting point

Begin with established ERP integration capabilities and enterprise B2B workflows instead of rebuilding the same infrastructure for every project.

Built for client-specific requirements

Configure and extend the platform around each client’s systems, processes, buyers and commercial model.

Your solution, your client relationship

Keep control of the strategy, experience and ongoing relationship while Pocketknife provides the underlying commerce foundation.

Your agency leads

Be the implementation partner.
We've got your back.

Your agency scopes, configures and delivers Pocketknife for your client. Our team works behind you, so your team is set up for success on every project.

Implementation docs

Documentation covering setup, configuration and ERP integration, so your team can move quickly.

Who This Is For

Built for agencies solving complex commerce problems.

If standard out-of-the-box Shopify features or third-party apps cannot meet your client's ERP sync and B2B logic needs, Pocketknife is the answer.

Shopify development agencies

Unlocking high-end enterprise B2B builds without writing custom sync databases yourself.

Ecommerce consultancies

Advising clients on reliable architectures that bridge commerce with ERP constraints.

Digital experience agencies

Fusing custom frontend branding with a solid, high-performance back-office system.

ERP & systems integrators

Accelerating standard ERP-to-Shopify mappings with structured middleware solutions.

B2B and wholesale agencies

Solving unique pricing, inventory, quote and sales rep impersonation requirements.

Specialist technical teams

Working with clients whose business logic cannot be solved through standard Shopify configuration alone.

Coming in 2027

More control for agency developers.

The upcoming Pocketknife Developer SDK will give agency teams more freedom to build client-specific functionality on top of the platform, without recreating the underlying integration and B2B infrastructure.

What developers can expect:

  • Extend Pocketknife for specialised client workflows
  • Create project-specific features and experiences
  • Build on an established commerce foundation
  • Maintain greater control over how each solution is delivered
