B2B^4C Business-to-Business for the Consumer

The last objective of most retailers is to establish and position perfectly integrated channels between themselves and their consumers. But, with the advent of the Internet, in order to satisfy the requirements of the consumer and their business more efficiently, however, companies should consider modifying their current strategies with regard to the supply chain and adopt new technological solutions.
 
Retailers must pay attention to the supply chain and the business solutions that aim to simplify communication with their suppliers. The systems and processes a company must implement should answer two basic requirements:

1.     Satisfy consumers while guaranteeing profits to the operating company

2.     Supply a margin advantage over the competition.   

The Internet provides a new solution. Beyond providing new product and service purchase possibilities for the consumers, the net allows transfer of information along the chain of supply that includes the production process, from the raw materials until the delivery to the consumer and the shipment of statements.   

When all the steps in your supply chain are analyzed it is possible to optimize the operation of the supply chain using the Internet as contact points for co-operation between departments, travel agents, resellers, suppliers, shippers and clients.

It is also possible that certain competitive relationships can be transformed into collaborative relationships, thanks to the use of new electronic solutions.   
  
Retailers, channel resellers and suppliers can collaborate in real time in order to create a complete and modernized picture of the changing conditions of the supply chain.  These new solutions can lead to remarkable cost reductions of the supply chain, thanks to improving availability, shared information,  simplification of administrative procedures, accurate forecasts, electronic invoicing, real-time purchasing from actual inventory and just in time shipments, etc.
