360 Commerce are pleased to have recently been accepted into the Microsoft Global Partner Network and our platform is now available on the Global Azure Marketplace.

This is great news as it allows us to take advantage of all the new Microsoft technologies in the near future, which will benefit your company.

In addition, this has allowed us to greatly improve our platform speed using the Microsoft Azure cloud servers.

A large part of this growth is due to eCommerce website ‘Punch Out’ capabilities which allows you to integrate your eCommerce webstore with your customers eProcurement platforms.

This allows your buyer to shop on your ecommerce webstore from their eProcurement platform, with purchase order and invoice data automatically exchanged between you and customer.  Traditionally eProcurement was restricted to large organisations with big budgets, due to the technology required and the costs involved. However, Technology has now evolved to the point where these sophisticated systems are available to smaller companies at affordable prices. Source 2023 U.S. B2B Ecommerce Market Report

Are you a medium to large business owner that sells to other businesses and are looking for a new B2B e-commerce platform?

If so, it's important to understand that B2B e-commerce demands much more than B2C platforms can provide.

We see so many B2B companies getting sold generic and B2C platforms because they have selected a web company that does not understand the complex nature of the needs of B2B businesses. The outcome most usually ends in failed projects or at best meeting basic customer needs. The main reason is that there are very few web companies specialising in B2B platforms.

B2B e-commerce requires more advanced features than B2C because of the complex nature of a business-to-business relationship and the demands that imposes on technology.

In this blog post we'll explore why B2B requires a different set of features to meet customer demand and excell in a competitive market. We will also discuss the importance of extensibility in the B2B e-commerce platforms and how these platforms can help increase efficiency and streamline processes.
