Open Source Buyer Portal takes customization to the next level by giving B2B enterprises full access to the open-source code for a robust buyer portal foundation to build and create tailored buyer experiences that meet their unique industry demands and workflows.
“To extract maximum value from an ecommerce site, B2B companies should view ecommerce as more than a mere shopping cart and checkout process.
