When it comes to running your business, business-to-business (B2B) process excellence is mission critical. Your business is part of an extensive ecosystem of other companies, a business network of suppliers, customers, banks and more. You create your products and services with inputs from others, and you sell those products and services to others outside your enterprise. Procure to pay, order to cash, inventory management, logistics, corporate to bank are just some of the processes you must master to stay competitive. You need a digital platform that ensures optimal operations and speed to revenue across this extended business ecosystem—a platform that 100% of your trading partners and customers can participate in easily.
