Considerations
-
B2B e-commerce represents a large piece of the e-commerce pie. A popular B2B trend is Supply Chain Management (SCM). SCM seeks to deploy e-commerce and information technology by linking all companies associated with the production, distribution and retailing of a product into a seamless virtual corporation. This reduces inventory and waste, cuts cost and serves customers better.
