“B2B” is business-to- business commerce conducted over the Internet (called B2B e-commerce space, or e-marketplaces) What is B2B? N
business-to-business • The business-to-business (B2B) group includes all applications intended to enable or improve relationships within firms and between two or more companies. • In the past this has largely been based on the use of private networks and Electronic Data Interchange (EDI). • Examples from the business-business category are the use of the Internet • for searching product catalogues, • ordering from suppliers, • receiving invoices and making electronic payments. • This category also includes collaborative design and engineering, and managing the logistics of supply and delivery.
business-to-business • The volume of B2B (Business-to-Business) transactions is much higher than the volume of B2C transactions. • The primary reason for this is that in a typical supply chain there will be many B2B transactions involving sub components or raw materials, and only one B2C transaction, specifically sale of the finished product to the end customer. • For example, an automobile manufacturer makes several B2B transactions such as buying tires, glass for windscreens, and rubber hoses for its vehicles. The final transaction, a finished vehicle sold to the consumer, is a single (B2C) transaction.
