This allows businesses to continue using familiar processes while also taking advantage of the convenience and efficiency of an online platform.

  • Integration with SAP ecosystem through SARAS (Middleware): SAP is a popular enterprise resource planning (ERP) system used by many businesses. Integrating an eCommerce platform with SAP through a middleware solution like SARAS can help streamline operations by allowing data to flow seamlessly between the two systems. This can help improve efficiency and accuracy by eliminating the need for manual data entry and reducing errors.
  • Complex Order capturing workflows: Many B2B eCommerce platforms have complex order capturing workflows that can be difficult for businesses to navigate. This can lead to delays and errors, which can negatively impact customer satisfaction and lead to lost sales. A custom eCommerce solution can be tailored to a business’s specific needs, making it easier for them to capture orders and reduce the risk of errors
