Znode's Built-In B2B Ecommerce Features
25% of B2B organizations report that the completeness of a solution is the most important consideration when choosing an ecommerce platform (Forrester, 2018). However, many popular ecommerce platforms were developed for B2C commerce and are not delivering full B2B ecommerce functionality without significant customizations.
Znode has invested heavily in built-in B2B functionality to provide completeness of solution. Combined with the platform’s all-in-one capabilities, Znode’s built-in B2B ecommerce features makes it easier for businesses to personalize the B2B purchasing experience and decrease the total cost of ownership of a platform.
Znode’s built-in B2B features include:
Accounts
Administrators can create accounts for companies and user profiles for groups of users associated with a company. User profiles are used to display specific content pages, catalogs, approvals and budgets, as well as shipping and payment methods to the associated user of an account.
B2B Approval Workflows
Znode supports five types of user approvals, including requisition workflow, order approval workflow, budgets, user order limits, and annual limits, that ladder up to an account.
