Industrial journalist, TR Cutler recently captured insights from thought-leader Chris Raven, UK Channel manager for Oro, Inc. Raven discussed why B2B eCommerce is a requirement for efficient manufacturing. He explained only with open-source, cloud-based technology can a lower total cost of ownership and a shorter time to market be assured; it allows for scalability, flexibility, and personalized experiences meeting and exceeding contemporary B2B customers’ demands.

According to Raven, “Manufacturers are now required to optimize for both buyers and sellers, specifically accessible on any device. This requires that CRM and B2B eCommerce establish a single solution that sells products online and manages business operations. Manufacturers insist on a shorter time to market which mandates getting an online store live rapidly and generating online sales immediately. This is only achieved with a powerful workflow engine which can digitize all seller and buyer-related business processes.”
Many industrial firms thoroughly detail the workflow, documenting the efficiency by adding complexity instructions which lay above the RFQ process. There are many reasons why manufacturers are automating the B2B eCommerce processes. The ability to enable data accuracy is paramount. Most eCommerce businesses generate an immense amount of new customer, inventory, or transactional data. When maintained by hand, these data might not get relayed when and where needed, leading to lost sales.
