Let’s see the results of recent researches, and find out:

Online shopping has gone mobile already. Researchers predict that in 2017, 25% of all online transactions will take place on a mobile device. This shows the trend for B2C, or
retail online business.

But, we have already learned that B2B buyers expect to receive full shopping experience from their
suppliers, just as B2C customers do. Just as regular online retail shoppers, the B2B buyers use mobile phones,
and they are also always on the move.

So, why wouldn’t they ask for a possibility to research and purchase products from their tablet or mobile
phone? And they do so, more and more each day.

One more information supports the claim that it is necessary to optimize your B2B portal for mobile devices:
41% of all B2B buyers already expect their suppliers to have
optimized B2B portals.

Providing this kind of purchasing experience will put you as a supplier
to a leading position in your industry. And, as we already said
above, it is all about Psychology, and human/buyer behavior and
experience.

a B2B portal, but is that really enough? Are we missing something?

No, don’t worry, we are on the right track. Your B2B portal should be
equipped with powerful Predictive Analytics, and the Advanced
Dashboard with vast variety of reports, crafted to the needs of your
business.
