The world around us has moved into a technological arena, and we must adapt to these changes to succeed. One significant change for businesses worldwide is the shift from your typical ‘brick-and-mortar’ type business to an online business presence.

Choosing an e-commerce platform that is the right for your business is not as easy as it might seem. In this technological and online shopping era, you will not be surprised to learn that there is an abundance of e-commerce platforms from which you can choose. Ensuring that you have the right platform for your needs is essential to your current and future success.

While nearly the entire world has embraced e-commerce as a major part of the COVID-19 solution, the South African government has decided to not follow suit but do the exact opposite, effectively shut down e-commerce, cutting what could have been a life support for many small businesses, plunging them into the shadow of bankruptcy and the consumers into miserable time at home, with no option to buy cooked food, books or office equipment and many other things the government has declared as non-essential

Getting an e-commerce website setup for your business has never been easier or cheaper than it is now, yet we are often in the position of having to redo brand new websites that have just been setup but cannot be used due to hitting an impassable platform limitation or realising high hidden costs associated with seemingly simple customisations.

Business to Business (B2B) E-commerce is a very powerful tool, often overlooked or underutilised. It can help your business provide better experience to your business customers and streamline your own operations, saving you time and money and reducing errors. If your business is both B2B and B2C, both can be easily implemented on the same website and managed together through a single management platform.
