Advantages for business

  • A B2B portal significantly optimises the company's work by automating all interaction processes between bulk buyers and sales managers: from order completion to debtor default control. Find out more in ourE-Commerce Strategie Beratung.
  • In order to implement a B2B platform, a number of tasks have to be solved that are not standard for an online shop.
  • The customer data is unloaded from the ERP system. This data must be linked to the users registered in the portal. There are solutions for this: from connection by customer code / telephone / to manual output of personal accounts.
  • Pricing. As a rule, different wholesale customers have their own price range. There are no standard tools for uploading such a price range to the e-commerce platform. Therefore, you need to create your own mechanism to assign certain attributes to specific products. Each customer can see a separate discount for each product group. This means that there can be several thousand different price types. And this requires highly skilled developers to set up the work without "brakes".
  • The order exchange takes place in two directions. In this way, omnichannel commerce is possible when purchases made online are available offline and vice versa.

Results

  • For example, based on the experience of one of our customers
  • Up to 70% of orders are placed online.
  • About 30% of orders are placed outside business hours.
  • Over 5 years, sales tripled while the number of sellers did not change.
  • The average order amount increased by 20% due to additional product recommendations in the catalogue

Problems that can be solved thanks to a B2B portal:

  • Huge departments for processing orders and customer support.
  • Difficulties in providing quick feedback.
  • Poor communication with customers.
  • Errors due to the human factor.
  • No comprehensive picture of the effectiveness of the marketing and sales department.
  • Data is spread across different services.
  • The complexity of continuously improving business processes.

Integration mit Management Accounting Systemen

Fewer customer advisors

  • Offer your customer the opportunity to quickly create an order: Enter SKU of the desired product, upload CSV files and build the lists from previous orders.
