Whether your business has already adopted an eCommerce solution or not, the global workforce is starting to be made up of professionals who grew up in the digital age. As a result, B2B eCommerce is dominantly positioning itself to be the main storefront rather than a nice-to-have presence. The number of 18 to 34-year-old B2B researchers increased by 70% between 2012 and 2014, and it\u2019s only gone up since then. The food industry is not immune to this growth. In today\u2019s post, we\u2019re going to take a look at a few examples why the wholesale food industry should consider B2B eCommerce.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Why the Wholesale Food Industry Should Consider Online<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-53665 size-full aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/oroinc.com\/b2b-ecommerce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/12\/B2B-eCommerce-food-industry-statistics.png\" alt=\"B2B eCommerce food industry statistics\" width=\"1174\" height=\"357\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oroinc.com\/b2b-ecommerce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/12\/B2B-eCommerce-food-industry-statistics.png 1174w, https:\/\/oroinc.com\/b2b-ecommerce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/12\/B2B-eCommerce-food-industry-statistics-720x219.png 720w, https:\/\/oroinc.com\/b2b-ecommerce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/12\/B2B-eCommerce-food-industry-statistics-768x234.png 768w, https:\/\/oroinc.com\/b2b-ecommerce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/12\/B2B-eCommerce-food-industry-statistics-760x231.png 760w, https:\/\/oroinc.com\/b2b-ecommerce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/12\/B2B-eCommerce-food-industry-statistics-360x109.png 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1174px) 100vw, 1174px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why 310? For several reasons:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to <a href=\"https:\/\/oroinc.com\/b2b-ecommerce\/b2b-why-sell-online-now\/?utm_source=foodindustry&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=b2b-sell-online\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">research<\/a>, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong style=\"font-weight: 400;\">74% of buyers research their purchases online. <\/strong>Furthermore<strong style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,\u00a0<\/strong><strong style=\"font-weight: 400;\">93% want to make the purchase online<\/strong>. Today, w<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">hen a restaurant manager is seeking a food supplier, he\/she typically goes online. A bulk food company that has already gone online automatically puts itself in a better position to gain new business. With the help of a proper eCommerce solution, a buyer can check out his\/her custom price list, get quotes on interested products, and access all the product information she needs. \u2018Google search\u2019 is the new Yellow Pages and your online existence will be the pulse of your business. A user-friendly, scalable <a href=\"https:\/\/oroinc.com\/b2b-ecommerce\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">B2B eCommerce platform<\/a> with out-of-the-box B2B features, is a must-have.\u00a0 It\u2019s not a matter of \u201cif\u201d the food industry will move online, it\u2019s a matter of \u201cwhen\u201d.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">eCommerce is the key to financial savings. It requires much less manpower and offers more scalability. It also has the capacity to fulfill orders at a faster rate than traditional offline sales.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Automation reduces human error. When a business operates offline, it is highly susceptible to mistakes like order entry errors. This can be frustrating for both the customer and employee. Things can easily get lost in translation when a sales person takes orders over the phone. B2B eCommerce solves that problem since the customer is placing their own orders.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">eCommerce solutions allow the sales team to focus on more important things like building customer relationships. Your sales team should be interacting with prospects and customers instead of taking orders and performing manual tasks. For example, Oro has uniquely developed its eCommerce platform with an integrated CRM software, which grants the seller access to customer interactions, priorities, needs, and interests. With that kind of ability to collect data and intelligence, the sales &amp; marketing department can take appropriate measures for personalization, promotions, recommendations, marketing strategy, and more. This feature gives the marketing team a chance to shape the customer\u2019s journey from the very beginning.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>Why It Is a Good Time for B2B eCommerce for Food Wholesale<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-52857\" src=\"https:\/\/oroinc.com\/b2b-ecommerce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/12\/Mobile-Marketing-Graphic-171207-01_tcm-180578-1.png\" alt=\"mobile commerce\" width=\"956\" height=\"540\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oroinc.com\/b2b-ecommerce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/12\/Mobile-Marketing-Graphic-171207-01_tcm-180578-1.png 7751w, https:\/\/oroinc.com\/b2b-ecommerce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/12\/Mobile-Marketing-Graphic-171207-01_tcm-180578-1-720x406.png 720w, https:\/\/oroinc.com\/b2b-ecommerce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/12\/Mobile-Marketing-Graphic-171207-01_tcm-180578-1-768x434.png 768w, https:\/\/oroinc.com\/b2b-ecommerce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/12\/Mobile-Marketing-Graphic-171207-01_tcm-180578-1-760x429.png 760w, https:\/\/oroinc.com\/b2b-ecommerce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/12\/Mobile-Marketing-Graphic-171207-01_tcm-180578-1-360x203.png 360w, https:\/\/oroinc.com\/b2b-ecommerce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/12\/Mobile-Marketing-Graphic-171207-01_tcm-180578-1-300x170.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 956px) 100vw, 956px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Courtesy: Boston Consulting Group (www.bcg.com)<\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are immense benefits for adopting eCommerce technology.
