Why Buyer Expectations in the Electrical Industry Have Shifted
Electrical distributors don’t just compete on product availability anymore, they compete on ease of doing business. Procurement leaders want fewer clicks, fewer systems to log into, and fewer errors.
They want suppliers who can plug directly into their existing purchasing systems, not force them into yet another portal. In fact, studies show that by 2025, 80% of all B2B sales interactions will occur through digital channels.
This resource outlines why buyer expectations have shifted, what distributors risk if they stay manual, how B2B eCommerce integration solves these challenges, and what steps you can take now to capture growth.
