What is B2B?

“B2B” refers to trade between companies, where products or services are sold from one company to another. Unlike B2C, where companies sell directly to consumers, B2B trade often involves larger order volumes, complex pricing structures and longer sales processes.

B2B trade therefore calls for features such as customer-specific prices, volume discounts, integration with business systems and the ability to handle complex approval processes. An effective B2B solution makes it easier for companies to collaborate, place orders and manage their purchases in a structured and efficient way.

Choosing a B2B platform

Choosing a B2B platform is a strategic decision that has a major impact on a company’s success in e-commerce. An effective B2B platform must be able to handle complex sales processes, customer-specific prices and large order volumes, while still providing a user-friendly experience. The platform must also integrate with existing systems such as ERP, CRM and PIM to ensure data is synchronised automatically and orders are processed efficiently.

It is important that the platform is scalable and flexible, so it can be adapted to customer needs and support growth. A strong B2B platform makes it easier for customers to find products, place orders and access relevant information, while it automates internal processes and improves efficiency. By choosing a solution built to handle B2B sales processes, your company can ensure a better customer experience and stronger competitiveness.

B2B integrations

Effective B2B integrations are essential for creating a coherent and efficient trading experience. Integration between the webshop and core business systems such as ERP, CRM and PIM ensures that data about products, prices, stock levels and customers is always up to date and synchronised across the systems.

When a B2B webshop is integrated with the ERP system, orders, invoices and stock status can be updated automatically in real time, which reduces errors and improves efficiency.

CRM integration makes it possible to give a more personal customer experience by tailoring the product range and prices based on the customer’s history and preferences. PIM integration ensures that product information such as descriptions, images and technical specifications is always consistent and correct across all channels.

In addition, API support and punch-out integration to procurement systems are important elements in a B2B platform.

APIs make it possible to automate data exchange between the webshop and external systems, while punch-out integration lets customers buy directly from their own procurement system. By implementing strong integrations, a company can optimise workflows, minimise manual errors and create a smoother buying experience for customers.
