The unified commerce platform for B2B manufacturers, distributors and wholesalers

B2B commerce is inherently complex — customer-specific pricing, large catalogs and approval workflows — making it difficult to scale and operate efficiently. Unify your commerce operations and data into a single source of truth to streamline purchasing, simplify decision-making and automate processes with AI.

Control over the buyer journey

Complex B2B purchasing rarely follows a linear path. Break free from rigid, pre-defined flows and design buying experiences that adapt to your customers, processes and business requirements.

Support for large catalogs and transactions

Complexity grows with scale. Handle massive catalogs, high transaction volumes, customer-specific pricing and real-time inventory calculations without sacrificing performance or agility.

From manual workflows to autonomous execution

Frequently asked questions

Why is B2B commerce so complex?

B2B commerce is complex because it involves negotiated pricing, multi-layered customer organizations, large and technical product catalogs, as well as non-linear buying processes with approvals and contracts. Unlike B2C, every customer may require a different pricing model, catalog and workflow, making flexibility, scalability and orchestration across systems essential.

What is the best platform for B2B commerce?

The best B2B commerce platform is one that can handle complexity at scale, including customer-specific pricing, large catalogs, approval workflows and multi-channel selling, while still enabling the flexibility to deliver seamless buying experiences. Today’s B2B leaders choose unified commerce platforms that consolidate data, simplify operations and support AI-driven automation across the entire commerce lifecycle.

What are the most important needs of B2B buyers?

B2B buyers expect fast, intuitive and personalized purchasing experiences. Key needs include accurate contract pricing, real-time product availability, self-service ordering, flexible purchasing flows and seamless reordering across channels. Increasingly, they also expect B2C-like usability, even in highly complex procurement environments.

What are the advantages of B2B eCommerce?

B2B eCommerce improves efficiency, scalability and customer experience. It reduces manual ordering processes, enables self-service purchasing, supports complex pricing and catalogs and increases sales productivity. For businesses, it also unlocks automation, better data visibility and the ability to scale across regions and customer segments.

What are the top features of a modern B2B commerce platform?

A modern B2B commerce platform should support customer-specific pricing, complex account structures, large multi-region product catalogs and flexible purchasing workflows. It should also include real-time integrations with ERP and CRM systems, support hybrid selling and AI-driven automation and deliver high-performance search across large product assortments.

How does AI improve B2B commerce?

AI helps simplify and automate complex B2B processes such as order intake, quoting and product discovery. It enables faster processing of unstructured requests, supports sales teams in real time and improves buying experiences through personalization and intelligent workflows.
