5 reasons why b2b ecommerce platforms are the future of wholesale

We all know that the world of commerce is becoming more and more digital. Wholesale businesses have taken advantage of this and moved online to increase sales.

So how does a brand go from emails, spreadsheets, and phone calls to digital wholesale? The answer is a digital wholesale platform, which allows you to sell your products to retailers online.

Here’s why now is the time for your business to join thousands of brands who are using digital wholesale platforms such as BLANC.

Save precious time

Using a digital wholesale platform will help you reduce the amount of time spent on handling your B2B sales via phone, email, and other traditional channels.

There is no need to handle orders manually. Instead of receiving orders by email or phone and having to manually enter the data into your systems, everything can be transferred from your b2b ecommerce platform with the click of a mouse!

Run your business more efficiently

A digital wholesale platform offers all the features and benefits of a digital marketplace in one platform. These features may include smart payment systems, efficient inventory management systems, customer service and digital marketing functions.

What does this mean for wholesalers?

• No account management required.
• No need to chase payments.
• A simple order and invoice management system.

It also means you can easily and seamlessly integrate these options into your existing processes!

Access to more buyers in one place

With a digital wholesale platform, you’ll have an abundance of wholesale buyers at your fingertips. This means your brand can reach not just local retailers, but buyers from all around the world! For example, when you register your brand with BLANC, you will have the potential to connect with around 20,000 buyers worldwide. Wholesale buyers are also able to view your products in their own currency and language, which puts global clients at ease.

Greater marketing opportunities

Joining a digital platform means that your brand will benefit from the platform’s marketing efforts. Thanks to their digital advertising, buyer outreach and social media activities, your business will gain new customers and reach a wider audience without any effort on your part!

Environment-friendly business practices

Going online will reduce your business’ carbon footprint as your sales team will no longer need to travel long distances to meet with buyers. You’ll also have the potential to turn your business 100% paperless with online order forms and digital marketing materials.
