Technology Leader Panel:
Understanding the New Wave of eCommerce Technology

Available on-demand

Emerging technologies and increased customer expectations are reshaping B2B ecommerce for distributors in 2024. 

Watch this expert panel discussion on-demand on what the next wave of B2B ecommerce technology will look like, including technologies that drive greater personalization, prioritize seamless omnichannel integration and increase visibility into future buying behaviors. 

Artificial intelligence (AI)-powered functionality is top of mind for many distributors as they explore ways to build powerful digital capabilities at scale. We’ll talk about new ways to help your customers find what they need through voice and visual search. New technologies are also enabling greater operational efficiency for distributors selling online, including inventory management, product data and logistics. 

Our panel shared the latest in B2B ecommerce and how distributors can evaluate and prioritize these tools for their own businesses. The goal is to enable a better customer experience across the board – increasing customer engagement, solidifying customer loyalty and satisfaction, and growing wallet share.
