Business to Business E commerce Development Company
Online business to business e-commerce is e-commerce that targets other businesses. B2B e-commerce is different than business to consumer e-commerce because with B2B the transactions are made generally between large suppliers and other companies. The companies who purchase from the large suppliers would then sell these products to their customers through separate B2C websites. There are several differences between these business models. With B2C, the merchants sell the products to the customers when the customers visit the site. However, B2B e-commerce is much more complicated and can involve negotiating contracts, setting customer specific price levels and other company specific criteria. B2B web based commerce also has a lot to do with having the right business connections and service models to stand behind the offerings made on the website. If you are looking to grow your business in dramatic ways, consider implementation of an B2B e-commerce system, along with other systems integration such as Microsoft's Customer Relationship Management.
Types of Business to Business Web-sites
B2B websites can differ from each other based on the functions that they perform. Take a look at our portfolio for some recent work we've done developing complex B2B eCommerce websites for clients just like you. Below are some of the basic types of B2B ecommerce websites that you can select from:
Websites for Companies
In most cases, the target customers for B2B ecommerce companies are other companies. For this reason, these suppliers set up company websites that allow them to exhibit their products or services. These B2B e-commerce sites may also include options for user registration, real-time inventory, and dealer/distributor locator and distributor logins.
E-procurement Sites
E-procurement sites are business to business sites where the purchasing agents of companies can submit a request for proposal, bid for products and purchase products from the vendors. These websites are typically custom built to serve a niche market or a particular industry.
B2B E Commerce Broker Sites
These websites act as a broker between those who want to purchase a particular product and suppliers in the industry. These websites bring together the suppliers and the buyers in the industry.
Industry Vertical B2B Portals
These websites can provide information about products in a particular industry, allow users to conduct discussions, provide product listings and serve a broader purpose compared to the other types of B2B procurement sites.
Infomediary Sites
B2B e commerce infomediary sites provide industry information to the visitors about companies in that industry. These are special sites that provide search facilities as well as industry and trade standards for a particular niche.
Most business to business e-commerce websites fall into one of these categories. Building websites that match up to the B2B model for your company can provide powerful results for your company’s bottom line. Clarity's custom designed e-commerce websites are professional, functional and help serve the needs of various businesses in the B-2-B E-commerce space.
