I have done it (actually in Minivend 3.14!), and IC is quite suitable for 
building a B2B site, perhaps more so than most other eCommerce 
offerings.  Just using the CommonAdjust feature in concert with various 
table entries, we were able to create pricing variances at the 
manufacturer, buying group, and individual member levels (and combinations 
thereof), plus features like variable minimum order levels, automatic order 
routing by manufacturer, etc.

You have your work cut out for you, but the platform is capable and the 
tools are there.
