I want to build a site with 2 must have features and so far have looked at many platform alternatives and have not found anyone who can build both these features into their platform.

The site objective: A B2B eCommerce site selling multiples of colours and sizes of fashion items to retail stores.  

Searching
Narrow down a search clicking multiple filters. Drill down search
1/ The ability to add multple global tags to all items and construct a right hand vertical search panel under the categories where a this and this tag filter, not a this or that tag filter updates the display results.
EG
Say my customer wants to stock a dress that is 100% cotton, sleeveless, is ideal for cocktail hour and has matching items. I want to add to this item the following tags.

100% Cotton
Sleeveless
Cocktail Hour
Matching Items

Then in the search panel, I want the customer to be able to click Dresses and have all the dresses in the range show. Then click 100% Cotton and have the displayed dresses narrow down to all the 100% cotton dresses only. Then click Sleeveless and have the display narrow down to all the 100% cotton dresses which are sleeveless. Then click Cocktail Hour and have the display narrow down to all the 100% cotton dresses which are sleeveless and are suitable for cocktail hour. Then click Matching Items and have the display narrow down to all the 100% cotton dresses which are sleeveless and are suitable for cocktail hour and have matching items.

Selling
The customer can order multiple sizes of multiple colours of an item from the one item page. Every Platform I have looked at, the customer has to open each colour as a separate item and order each size as a separate item. This is not practical for a B2B site. These are retail stores and they want to place an order of multiple garment colourways and sizes on the one item page.
EG: 
Item: Long 100% Cotton Dress
Order:
Blue
S=3
M=5
L=7
XL=4
2XL=1
Colour Total=20
White
S=3
M=5
L=7
XL=4
2XL=1
Colour Total=20
Total items of this style=40

If this is possible with DNN and you are a developer who can help me get it up and running please contact me, you might be in for some extra work over Xmas.

Technically anything is possible on DNN - DNN is a web site framework - using the framework is is possible to create sites that do just about anything you could imagine.

Though in this case I would suspect it really comes down to how much you want to put into the site and lets be realistic - how much money you have available to commit to such a project.  

B2B shopping systems tend to be highly specialized systems - and as a result in most cases they tend to be written specifically for a given need - as such you are unlikely to find an off the shelf solution that will meet your exact needs.

YES I would suggest that DNN would offer a very good starting point for all of the CORE user management and site layout needs
- but for the specifics of the actually B2B system you would be best of looking at writing a custom set of modules that does exactly what you need.  As opposed to trying to massage systems that a not really suited.

We would be happy to discuss your needs in this area offline - drop me an email at wtatters@live.com.au - and maybe we can give you some more detailed suggestions and support.
