B2B (Business To Business) refers To the exchange of products, services and information between enterprises over the Internet. At present, Internet-based B2B is growing rapidly. According to the latest statistics, the transaction volume of B2B on the Internet at the beginning of this year has far exceeded that of B2C. In the next five years, b2B will reach an average annual growth rate of 41%. By 2004, B2B transactions around the world are expected to reach $7.29 trillion.
Transactions between traditional enterprises often consume a lot of resources and time, and both sales and distribution and procurement occupy product costs. Through B2B transactions, buyers and sellers can complete the entire business process on the Internet, from initial impressions, to three orders, to bargaining, signing and delivery, and finally to customer service. B2B allows transactions between enterprises to reduce a lot of transactional workflows and management costs, reducing the business costs. The convenience and extensiveness of the network allow enterprises to expand their scope of activities, making it easier for enterprises to develop cross-regional and cross-national boundaries, and reducing costs.
B2B not only establishes an online buyer group, but also provides a foundation for strategic cooperation between enterprises. Any enterprise, no matter how powerful it is, or how good its business strategy is, is impossible to achieve B2B independently. The era of standalone competition has passed, and the establishment of cooperation alliances among enterprises has gradually become a development trend. The network makes information accessible. Enterprises can establish mutually beneficial cooperation in the market, product, or operation through the network to form horizontal or vertical business integration, with a larger scale, stronger strength, and more economical operation, global operation management is truly achieved.
