August 20176 The one fact that indubitably stands out is that e-commerce has had an explosive growth. But from an enterprise's vantage point, e-commerce is a fiercely competitive and demanding industry catering to a market that demands the right product, at the right time, at the right price, and across a channel of convenience. It is an industry that demands best of both worlds: Online and Offline. As e-commerce giants establish brick-and-mortar stores, in the Asia Pacific region, and pure-play physical hubs migrate to the World Wide Web, the landscape of e-commerce demands players that have the ability to cater to the tech-savvy clientele. Due to the nature of the trade, the fulfillment errors in B2B e-commerce is significantly higher and businesses are utilizing technology to solve ongoing customer challenges. Exploiting the online purchase power, more than 60 percent of these B2B customers want self-service access to business account and orders and a similar percentage demand scheduled deliveres. Thus, with a focus on personalization and mobility, need for increased online visibility, and scalability management, there is a soaring need for B2B e-commerce solutions that are streamlined, holistic, and responsive towards the evolving market. Pivotal to the today's e-commerce solutions is XaaS--everything (anything) as a service. From shopping cart to shipping, e-commerce-as-a-Service solution providers are leveraging the latest offerings in technology to deliver a platform that becomes the mainstay of a business's success.
