abstract

By 2004, global B2B transactions are expected to reach $7.29 trillion.

Development history

B2B model is the oldest and most developed business model in e-commerce, which can bring profits and returns. Its profit comes from the reduction of various expenses brought by relatively low information cost and the benefits brought by the integration of supply chain and value chain. The transaction amount is 10 times that of the direct purchase by consumers. E-commerce among enterprises has become the focus of e-commerce. Its applications include industry organizations connecting members through EDI network, cross-industry transaction integration organizations based on business chain, online timely procurement and supply operators.

situation

Traditional transactions between enterprises often consume a lot of resources and time, and sales, distribution and procurement occupy the product cost. Through B2B transactions, buyers and sellers can complete the whole business process online, from establishing initial impression and shopping around, to bargaining, signing, delivery, and finally to customer service. B2B makes the transactions between enterprises reduce the workflow and management costs of many transactions and reduce the operating costs of enterprises. The convenience and expansibility of the network enable enterprises to expand their activities, and it is more convenient and cheaper for enterprises to develop across regions and regions. B2B is not only to establish an online group of buyers and sellers, but also to provide a basis for strategic cooperation between enterprises. It is absolutely impossible for any enterprise to realize B2B alone, no matter how strong its technical strength is and how good its business strategy is. The era of going it alone has passed, and the establishment of cooperative alliances among enterprises has gradually become a development trend. The network makes the information flow unimpeded, and enterprises can establish complementary and mutually beneficial cooperation in market, product or operation through the network, form horizontal or vertical business integration, and truly realize a global logistics management model with scale, strength and operation.
