Global B2B eCommerce adoption is being driven by companies seeking to reduce procurement costs and improve supply chain management. B2B eCommerce solutions allow companies to automate contract negotiations, better coordinate internal groups and external partners, and gain insights into vendor performance. Early research shows B2B eCommerce can cut contract management costs from 5% of revenues to 1-2.5% and reduce total purchase costs by as much as 30% by enabling more effective negotiations and continuous improvement of procurement processes. However, issues like lack of internet infrastructure and security concerns may slow adoption in some regions initially.
