B2B E-Commerce Shop KPI's

Setting priorities for your B2B shop correctly

In B2B e-commerce, the priorities are different from those in the consumer market. In order to intensify and expand your existing business relationships (increasing customer value), you must guarantee your customers maximum comfort and productivity when shopping in your B2B shop. The marketing of the products (increase of the shopping cart value) is actually only on place 2 of the priority list in sales to business partners. When executing orders in the online shop, a B2B customer does not focus on emotional appeal and aesthetic presentation, but rather on rational functions such as product availability, technical specifications, prices and delivery times. There is no question that flawless usability must be guaranteed on all end devices, whereby the most frequently used device of B2B customers remains the desktop / laptop, followed by tablet and smartphone by a large distance.


Another challenge is adapting your B2B store for international customers. A wider delivery radius usually means different languages, currencies, new tax rates, and legal frameworks. In many ways, B2B commerce can learn from and align with the many B2C e-commerce stores. Unfortunately, business-to-business online commerce is still about five years behind the curve, despite the potential. Analysts and industry experts agree that the future of B2B e-commerce is definitely on the Web, and every company should explore its options for a Web site.

1. Gain trust

In B2B sales, long-term thinking and repeat purchases are even more important than in B2C. The business customer usually needs to buy the same products on a regular basis to keep his business running, so trust in your B2B business must be particularly high. This is achieved through reliability and transparency. Always give your customers insight into product availability and inventory, but don’t give everyone all the information about your B2B store. End customers should be able to see the product range, but not get information about personalized tiered pricing, for example. Use a registration process with a business license or VAT number to ensure that only verified buyers with a business purpose can buy from you. This has the positive side effect of increasing the incentive to register as well as increasing trust.

2. A race against time

In B2B business, buyers do not have time to browse, compare and think. Deadlines and budgets have to be met, so efficiency is a very important keyword when using a B2B shop. In most cases, you know exactly what part or product you need before you buy it. The only question is where to find it and who can deliver it the fastest. Customers do not want to spend hours clicking through a huge selection of products and end up ordering the wrong one. Powerful, intuitive search and filter capabilities, such as item numbers or QR codes, as well as easy direct and repeat ordering via CSV upload, provide a major e-commerce advantage. Recommendation engines and target-group-specific personalization can also help cut through the clutter and save time and money.



3. Customer-specific prices and graduated prices

Just as in traditional trading relationships, B2B vendors should be able to offer customer-specific and tiered pricing in e-commerce. Every buyer wants to be able to negotiate prices based on volume or get individual discounts. In addition, online price transparency is intensifying competition, and dynamic pricing is now a matter of survival for every B2B company. So model your prices from the start, for example, by product lines, regions, segments/industries, special pricing, and so on. Despite the dynamics and complexity of a B2B pricing module, the performance of the B2B shop must not be compromised.



4. Simplify approval processes

In companies, purchasing decisions usually depend on several instances. The mapping of the customer’s purchasing organization, including an extended rights and roles concept, is therefore a necessary feature for the acceptance and use of an e-commerce online shop. To make digital approval processes in B2B shops as efficient as possible, fixed user roles must be set up in the creation process. These roles can be reassigned or transferred again and again.
