NuORDER, by Lightspeed, is a B2B ordering platform: virtual showrooms, a line sheet builder, a retailer marketplace and integrations with your ERP. Samplyn is a private system for your own accounts that also runs the samples, production and shipments behind each order.

Checked on the vendor's own site on 2026-11-12; next review by 2027-02-12. "Not described" means the vendor's pages did not describe it when we checked.

## Where NuORDER is stronger

- A marketplace: the vendor reports 100,000+ retailers and 100,000+ vetted buyers. Samplyn brings no new buyers.
- Integrations with 120+ ERP, PLM and POS systems, plus API and FTP inventory sync.
- A published starting price (from $600 a month) and payments: invoices and payment requests go straight to buyers.

## Where Samplyn fits better

- Your buyers are accounts you already have, and you want each one in a private portal scoped to its company.
- You need the work behind the order: sample requests and custody, purchase orders, time-and-action milestones and factory records.
- Containers matter: live ocean container tracking, ETA delay reasons and a receiving portal for your 3PL.
- You want an AI agent your staff can ask to change records, with a confirmation and an audit trail.
