BBB is a young and vibrant forum of business to provide its members
with opportunities to network and develop their enterprises. It aims to bring
people of diverse business backgrounds together, to help better their reach and
provide a platform to discuss ideas and improve their businesses.
Recently
the forum has built a digital e-commerce platform to sell and market products/
services of our members. It is intended to connect to customers from outside
our forum, potentially reaching out to customers globally.
We predict
that an e-commerce portal will be necessary for our forum. Recent estimation
reports on the net growth in value of e-markets support this necessity.
Broadly, the portal will provide:
- Connectivity of customers directly
with our business community at large,
-
Exclusivity: only our members can
sell through the portal,
-
Access to bigger market: members
can sell products across markets and across chapters,
-
Coordination between member groups
to support each other and develop their businesses collaboratively,
-
Data to help members with planning
their sales.
Technically,
it will feature a dedicated vendor portal, product and order management tools, product
filter and compare, multi-level category system, product search with suggestion
and seller messaging system. Individual members will be able to create their
own product page that will appear as if members have their own website. The
portal will continually be developed and improved upon to fulfill the broad
provisions listed above.
With the
introduction of e-portal, BBB will now have wings to soar into the upcoming era
of businesses of a different kind – those that deliver to the needs of the
global community.
