What is key to B2B business success according to our Solution Partner 3bits?
We asked a selected few of our Solution Partners to give us their view on the requirements and best practices for modern B2B commerce and also asked them to give us a prediction for the future.
Let's hear what Stefan Winterlén, CEO of 3bits has to say.
What are the three most important things to consider in B2B e-commerce?
- Consider the business rules that apply to B2B commerce with customer unique prices, customer-unique assortments, quotes and the relation to the customer.
- Try to make B2B e-commerce as nice and easy as a good B2C e-commerce. It is harder but well worth the effort.
- A common pitfall is to create real-time dependencies to the ERP for frequently used data which can create a bottleneck for the performance when the traffic increases.
What are the three strongest trends within B2B-commerce?
- Many companies are creating a digital sales experience where the customer and the salesperson can interact. Full self-service should be provided to the customer, but it should also be a place where the customer and salesperson can interact in order to help the customer in a good way.
- Simplified and more efficient sales and order process with less time spent on non-value increasing tasks, like entering e-mail-based orders into the ERPs or trying to find the latest product datasheet as part of a quote.
- In a post covid world it is absolutely clear that you cannot rely on a purely face-to-face sales process. You have to offer an alternative digital way of doing sales.
