2020 certainly has been an extremely challenging year…
The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted sales processes for many organizations that relied heavily on offline and face-to-face interactions, accelerating digitalization processes as e-commerce has become an important way, if not the only way to keep sales going.
According to McKinsey1, 96% of the B2B organizations prioritized the digital channel during COVID-19, and 80% are likely to sustain these models for at least 12 months after COVID-19.
According to Gartner2, organizations can benefit from B2B commerce as it improves efficiency by reducing errors in order taking and processing. It also shortens the sales cycle by enabling customer self-service, and the use of these consumer-like selling and engagement models are expected to continue post-pandemic as they are as effective as the traditional ways of selling.
In the recent IDC FutureScape series3, Jon Duke, VP of Research, IDC Retail Insights stated: “The pandemic has catalyzed changes in technology planning, accelerating critical investments. Those retailers with the capacity to invest and adopt a Commerce Everywhere business model will have a leadership advantage for years to come.”
