NeXus Portal Solutions

From eGrimesDirect to NeXus: Pioneering Innovation in Industrial eCommerce

In 1994, Grimes Industrial Products Group launched eGrimesDirect.com, one of the first fully functional and scalable online product catalogs in the industrial marketplace. This groundbreaking move allowed customers to discover our expertise and product range without relying on directories, trade shows, or sales calls.

Recognizing the transformative power of technology, we set out to develop a next-generation industrial eCommerce platform. Our vision was clear: to combine highly efficient processes with an exceptional user experience, setting a new standard for supply chain solutions.

After years of innovation and development, we proudly launched NeXus: Our Supply Management Portal in the fall of 2016, tailored for both industrial and consumer markets. Designed to meet the needs of today’s tech-savvy buyers, NeXus empowers users to research, transact, and manage purchases seamlessly on any device.

Modern buyers, inspired by leaders like Amazon, expect more than just products—they seek knowledge, solutions, and insights. From how-to guides and product reviews to innovative supply chain methods, NeXus delivers the tools and resources they need to succeed in a fast-paced digital world.

Buyers’ Needs and the NeXus Advantage

Today’s buyers seek direct access to crossover products that resonate with both B2B and B2C audiences. They demand a platform that is not only intuitive and user-friendly but also offers a superior level of service—far surpassing the limitations of traditional, rigid eCommerce platforms often bolted onto existing ERP systems.

Understanding these needs, we designed NeXus to seamlessly integrate into the buyer’s journey. NeXus isn’t just an eCommerce platform—it’s a dynamic, customer-centric solution driven by advanced Business Intelligence (BI). With the capability to manage big data and complex processes efficiently, it redefines supply management.

B2B + B2C + BI = NeXus

An intuitive and efficient Supply Management Portal that adapts to your needs.

At NeXus, our mandate is clear: provide an industry knowledge base that empowers buyers to self-educate and self-serve throughout their purchasing process. We are committed to delivering innovative solutions and exceptional service to our customers.
