Key Challenges and Best Practices for B2B Fulfillment

  • 58% are having difficulties processing orders on-time and meeting order commitment dates.
  • More than one-half experience process failures with either their own internal operations or in collaborating with suppliers.
  • 58% assert that inventory management is the #1 area of their fulfillment and distribution operations they need to improve.

Abstract

BUSINESS-TO-BUSINESS (B2B) COMMERCE, the exchange of products, services, or information between businesses—instead of businesses and consumers—is expanding by leaps and bounds. This growth is pushing more companies to rethink their fulfillment practices, particularly in the areas of inventory management, order velocity, and the ability to meet order commitment dates.
