Why does it matter for you? According to recent surveys, distributors and manufacturers that use Sage ERP implemented a B2B e-Commerce Solutions that allows their customers to order using mobile solutions.
If you’re using Sage 100 ERP and Sage 500 ERP then you’ll notice that E-Commerce is gaining ground among the community of manufacturers and distributors. More users are implementing B2B (business-to-business) websites and technology. In a recent survey 21% of respondents that use Sage 100 ERP and Sage 500 ERP stated that more than a quarter of their revenue comes from online resources.
Among the companies responding to a survey completed by our team at CertiPro Solutions, LLC, a B2B e-commerce integration solution vendor for Sage 100 ERP and Sage 500 ERP, 20% have B2B e-commerce technology in place that enables customers to order online, and 20% have operated a B2B e-commerce portal for a year or more. 20% of survey respondents let their customer’s place orders on a mobile device. 40% of the respondents don’t have a B2B e-commerce like CertiPro Solutions E-Link or Magento Integration in place. “As more manufacturers and distributors adopt online ordering, it’s going to become difficult to compete without it,” according to authors of the “2016 Manufacturing & Distribution Sales and Technology Survey Report.”
The significance of B2B e-commerce isn’t lost on those who don’t offer it: 40% of responding companies without B2B e-commerce report that they plan to implement it within one year, and 20% intend to do so within six months. If you’re in these 2 percentiles, you may want to look into E-Link or CertiPro’s Magento Integration Solution for Sage 100 ERP and Sage 500 ERP.
The survey was conducted among global manufacturers and distributors in more than a dozen industries. Organizations ranged in size from small and mid-sized businesses (64.7%) to mid-market (29.6%) and enterprise (5.7%).
When asked what commerce technologies were priorities for their businesses, 63% of respondents say e-commerce software for online B2B customer ordering, 58% cite mobile order-writing software for sales reps in the field and 30% mobile commerce software such as HandShake Sales Application which was enabling customers to place orders from a mobile device. CertiPro Solutions also has a ready-made API for Handshake Sales Application to Sage ERP.
