B2C giants like Amazon and Alibaba have already set the bar so high that the customers will not engage with a brand or website which isn’t robust and user-friendly, and B2B companies are now beginning to realize the importance of Customer Experience in eCommerce strategy.

B2B buyers are familiar with brands and interfaces like Amazon. They expect the same user experience in their online purchases, even for more complex products (heavy industrial equipment, configurable hardware, etc.) and other professional purchases.

Meanwhile, marketplaces continue to take market share and encroach into B2B space with a digital edge forcing manufacturers and distributors to become a one-stop shop and serve all customer needs as they have the benefit and an upper edge of being more advanced.
