Requirements for a B2B online shop
In contrast to B2C shops (business-to-consumer shops), which are aimed at end consumers, B2B shops often offer special functions that are tailored to the requirements of companies. Some of the most important B2B features are as follows:
- Customized product catalogs and prices: B2B shops can offer customer-specific product ranges and prices based on the specific requirements and purchasing behavior of the company.
- Convenient ordering: With special B2B ordering functions, companies can simplify and automate ordering processes. For example, orders can be easily repeated using saved shopping carts.
- 24/7 service: Permanent access to order data and receipts dramatically shortens service requests for companies.
- Integration into IT systems: B2B shops can also be seamlessly integrated into internal systems such as ERP systems or purchasing management software to simplify the ordering process.
The avanta B2B shop system covers almost all B2B sales requirements. Find out more about the avanta B2B shop functions.
Why B2B shops?
A B2B shop helps companies to optimize their purchasing and sales processes and make them more efficient. This saves time, resources and costs.
- Time savings: By using a B2B shop, companies can save time as they no longer have to go through time-consuming ordering processes. Orders can be placed directly online and are processed automatically.
- Increased efficiency: B2B shops also present large and complex product ranges in a user-friendly way. Additional markets, countries and target groups can be developed quickly and cost-effectively. By integrating third-party systems, other future-relevant B2B ordering channels such as OCI, cXML, IoT, etc. can be served.
- Cost and resource savings: A B2B shop can help companies reduce their purchasing costs - by providing access to special prices and discounts tailored to their specific needs. Conversely, sales and order processes can be handled digitally with less administrative effort and also enable extensive automation.
