Atlanta, GA, October 9, 2014

ShopVisible, a SaaS-based eCommerce platform, today announced enhancements to its B2B feature offering that delivers a targeted and relevant purchasing experience to the professional business buyer. As business buyers become accustomed in their everyday lives to personalized shopping experiences and omnichannel fulfillment as a result of fast paced, incredibly evolved consumer market, B2B businesses are now expected to provide a similar experience to their customers. As a result of this demand, highly connected and engaged customers would rather self-serve than follow the typical B2B commerce model.

With the unique ability to support B2B and B2C online shopping experiences, ShopVisible helps B2B companies overcome complex buying scenarios prevalent in B2B commerce while also providing the experience of consumer driven features — including product recommendations, ratings and reviews, automatic order replenishment, responsive design, and data-driven merchandising for items such as replacements, parts, accessories, warranty, product bundling, kits, and services. Features specifically developed to provide a personalized experience for business buyers include: 

• Role-based buying rules by type, responsibiity, or departmetn for example, allows for hierarchical user configuration so that different users across the organization have personalized purchasing expereince, based upon their individual roles. 
• Configurable pricing rules by customer, tier group, role, department or other segmentation enables flexible discounting options for subscriptions, quantity, contract and wholesale pricing.
• Tiered content, products, categories, shipping and payment options permit each customer to view content specific to them. 

Known for its industry leadership in the B2B sector, ShopVisible’s B2B client roster continues to grow in 2014, with new clients such as Liberty Hardware and Century Martial Arts. In addition, ShopVisible’s eCommerce platform was recognized as a prominent vendor by manufacturing industry research group IDC Manufacturing Insights.
