The Challenge
Bunzl required a scalable and sophisticated B2B eCommerce platform that could be quickly deployed to well-known national and international clients such as Co-Operative, Boots, John Lewis and Nike.
The Solution
TrueCommerce were chosen by Bunzl to deliver the new B2B eCommerce ordering facilities after a comprehensive benchmarking exercise which determined the TrueCommerce platform satisfied all the advanced eCommerce functionality requirements in addition to having well established Sage X3 integration capabilities.
For Bunzl, making it simple for business customers to quickly locate and order the correct product was essential. Whilst the TrueCommerce solution incorporates many sophisticated B2B eCommerce features such as e-procurement and customer self-services, the eCommerce experience for customers is as simple as a regular B2C consumer shopping website and requires zero user training.
Accelerated Delivery
Bunzl’s B2B eCommerce solution was delivered and went live in just 4 months from the time of order. Because TrueCommerce is preengineered, Bunzl were able to take quick delivery of their first prototype within 14 days of plac- ing their order and immediately start configuring content and preparing for launch.
Staying Ahead
The TrueCommerce B2B eCommerce Platform has provided important differentiators for Bunzl in a competitive online market. Whilst already using many of TrueCommerce’s advanced features Bunzl ensure they stay ahead of the competition by taking advantage of the quarterly TrueCommerce platform updates which include many innovative new options.
