BigCommerce announced at their B2Beach party yesterday that they have scored 24 out of 24 total medals in the 2024 Paradigm B2B Combines for Digital Commerce Solutions (Enterprise and Midmarket Editions) for the second consecutive year. BigCommerce advanced its rankings in a total of eight categories in both Editions and achieved more Gold medals in Midmarket than other ecommerce participating platforms, further positioning the platform as a preferred choice for midmarket and enterprise B2B organizations looking to innovate, grow and scale their businesses.
BigCommerce has transformed the way sellers and buyers do business, turning legacy B2B practices into a modern and agile digital operation with a composable foundation ready to ambitiously scale with the business.
B2B Edition, BigCommerce’s flagship suite of B2B functionalities, gives large global manufacturers, wholesalers and distributors the flexibility, agility and customization to elevate online selling experiences and meet digital buyer expectations, drive conversion and build brand loyalty. B2B Edition’s new Open Source Buyer Portal takes customization to the next level by giving B2B enterprises full access to the open-source code for a robust buyer portal foundation to build and create tailored buyer experiences that meet their unique industry demands and workflows.
To extract maximum value from an ecommerce site, B2B companies should view ecommerce as more than a mere shopping cart and checkout process. Rather, it should be regarded as a comprehensive ‘buyer portal’ where buyers can manage all aspects of their interactions with the business, from product discovery and purchase to service and warranty management. BigCommerce continues to invest in ways that manufacturers, distributors and wholesalers can unlock the full potential of B2B ecommerce and capitalize on gaining a competitive advantage, increasing market share and improving buyer satisfaction.
