Continuous development and optimisation

Improve ecommerce website performance by leveraging customer data insights and the latest technologies to enhance revenue growth, conversions, and customer loyalty.

“In the future, a webshop will represent just a fraction of a company's overall ecommerce presence. Forerunners are already enabling personalised purchasing experiences across all customer touchpoints. Success depends on combining thoughtful service design with carefully planned, fit-for-purpose architecture.”

B2B ecommerce and commercial portals

Key misconceptions for B2B ecommerce 

Many B2B companies still hold onto outdated assumptions when it comes to ecommerce. Common misconceptions include:

  • The belief that complex products or services don’t translate well to online channels
  • Great user experience isn't a priority for B2B buyers: if the product is good, it should sell itself
  • Legacy ERP or ecommerce platforms make agile, customer-focused sales too challenging

How we turn B2B ecommerce into success

We help B2B companies break through these barriers and turn ecommerce into a true revenue driver, not just a neglected platform or cost centre. Our approach is based on four pillars:

  • A strong focus on delivering excellent end-customer experiences
  • Deep understanding of the processes unique to B2B commerce
  • Proven expertise in transforming legacy architecture into modern commercial engines
  • Simply making complex B2B services sellable online

Cooperation with Columbia Road was excellent. We managed to go from initially recognised customer needs to first real sales in just a few weeks.
