B2B business-to-business commerce network illustration

B2B (Business to Business) is the name given to the system seen in the dealer networks set up by large companies, used in a closed network so that the company's dealers can efficiently run business processes such as procurement, stocking, distribution and marketing. It is also used as a procurement marketplace for companies.

Thanks to B2B, many companies can easily buy over the internet the products they need during the production of goods and services, or sell intermediate goods wholesale.

This system, built on e-commerce technology, is spreading faster every day among companies that operate independently of any single firm.
