Quick Summary

B2B eCommerce continues to grow as Forrester forecasts a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10% for B2B eCommerce over the next five years. The research company also states that B2B eCommerce has already reached $1.1 trillion and represents 12% of total B2B sales in the US. Therefore, B2B companies who still do without an eCommerce technology are, in effect, missing out on an enormous sales channel, which will only get larger.

As a matter of fact, technology integration remains one of the biggest challenges for companies adopting B2B eCommerce. They often fear additional customizations that are part and parcel of B2B eCommerce, even with the top B2B eCommerce platforms. Going with premium platform vendors entails the risk of the unmanageable cost of implementation and support while lesser known technology providers might not look convincing in reference to their ability to deliver. Thus choosing the right B2B eCommerce platform can be tricky.

That’s why thorough research is key. Start with composing a shortlist of technical capabilities, business functions, performance requirements, third-party integrations, customizability and support needs for your upcoming B2B eCommerce project. Evaluate potential platforms and consider their capabilities against the total cost of ownership to have the best value for your business. Importantly, make sure your platform of choice will support your growth ambitions and ideally provide you with the competitive edge in your field. For this purpose, opt for customizable, scalable, and open for integrations solution that can evolve at your desired pace.
