The B2B (business to business) ecommerce industry in India is soon to become a USD 700+ billion industry. B2B ecommerce stores enable online order transactions between businesses. Since orders are processed digitally, transaction efficiency is improved for manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors and other types of B2B sellers.

B2B selling may include:

  • Wholesale selling
  • Distribution to large/ chain retailers
  • Selling to organisations such as schools, institutions and businesses
  • Suppliers selling to resellers

Moreover, one does not have to be a supplier in order to sell B2B. Many online brands sell both B2B (business to business) and B2C (business to customer). The fact is that B2B brands require an ecommerce platform to sell as much as consumer brands. With an optimised ecommerce strategy, B2B sellers can tap into a huge audience of buyers who are looking for a convenient shopping experience. GlobalLinker’s ecommerce platform offers B2B sellers to create a customised e-store to sell online conveniently, economically and quickly.

Here are four businesses that are maximising this opportunity on GlobalLinker’s ecommerce platform.
