Oro Inc. is the company behind OroCommerce, the industry-leading B2B eCommerce platform, and OroMarketplace, the B2B marketplace platform for any selling scenario.
In the early days of Oro Inc., our founders realized that for B2B businesses, CRM is where digital transformation often starts. The founding team went to market with a CRM, which allowed our customers to digitize where it matters most – their customer relationships. Being at the forefront of enterprise B2B software development, we expanded into B2B eCommerce, which broadened our knowledge of the unique intricacies of the B2B industry vertical.
Today’s B2B software must accommodate multiple channels, product lines, and geographic locations, as well as keep pace with ever-changing competitive and regulatory environments. At the same time, it should integrate with the extended ecosystem, such as B2B eCommerce platforms, marketplaces, and more.
The Importance of the Industry-specific CRM
Some of the first CRMs were heavily customized on-premise solutions, but the 2010s gave rise to lightweight SaaS CRMs. Today, CRM vendors are evolving to meet industry-specific requirements such as product catalogs, workflows, flexibility, and customization expected by B2B businesses.
Businesses of all sizes and industry verticals use OroCRM, including finance, insurance, retail, manufacturing, and distribution. Sample customers include Hoyes Michalos, MTH Retail Group, and more.
