Turning Offline On | Portalink
There's a part of B2B commerce that somehow still remains remarkably offline orders arriving through email, PDFs, spreadsheets, phone calls, and everything in between. The Portalink Podcast exists to talk about it.
Hosted by Tim Pope, Founder & CEO of Portalink, and co-host Frankie, this show sits down with merchants, systems integrators, Shopify partners, and B2B industry leaders to unpack why these processes are still so hard to change, what they're costing businesses, and what organizations are actually doing about it.
These are open, straight-talking conversations built to share ideas, real experiences, and lessons the whole industry can learn from because there's a huge opportunity to make B2B commerce work better.
The Portalink Podcast runs across a few different series, each with its own focus:
Turning Offline On, the flagship series exploring the people, processes, and technology transforming B2B ordering, and what it takes to turn offline processes into connected, trusted systems of work.
Shopify x Portalink, a look at what happens when online and offline B2B commerce finally connect, with real implementations, practical lessons, and the changing role Shopify plays in B2B.
What's New @ Portalink, a behind-the-scenes look at what we're building, testing, and learning at Portalink, from new product releases to partner stories and the ideas shaping what comes next.
Across every series, expect proof over hype: real outcomes, real trade-offs, and practical paths forward not just buzzwords. Whether you're evaluating automation for the first time or refining a strategy already underway, the Portalink Podcast is here to help you make sense of where B2B commerce is headed.
