??New Order Management for B2B eCommerce ?? We’re thrilled to announce the launch of OMS 2.0, the next generation of our Order Management System specifically built for B2B eCommerce! ?? With the partnership of our customers, we are excited to build an OMS specifically tailored to the unique demands of B2B eCommerce. These enhancements will streamline complex workflows and improve efficiency across complex B2B operations. Here is quick update on some of the features: ? Edit Order: In B2B, orders often need adjustments after placement due to changing requirements. With Edit Order, you can modify quantities, add or remove products, and adjust shipping seamlessly—reducing friction and speeding up order processing. ?? Split Order: B2B businesses frequently deal with partial shipments or staggered fulfillment. Split Order allows you to fulfill part of an order while keeping track of what's pending, giving you the flexibility to meet deadlines and manage inventory more effectively. ?? Create Invoice: B2B transactions typically involve customized payment terms. With Create Invoice, you can generate invoices prior to fulfillment, offering flexible payment options—such as Net 30 or immediate payment—helping you manage cash flow and improve customer relationships. ?? Fulfill Order: B2B fulfillment can involve multiple warehouses or complex supply chains. Our new Fulfill Order feature allows you to send orders to the appropriate fulfillment centers or systems, supporting partial and split order fulfillment, to ensure your business can handle varying delivery needs. OMS 2.0 is designed to make managing large, complex B2B orders easier, faster, and more flexible—empowering your business to scale efficiently and serve customers better. #OrderManagement #B2BCommerce

?? ?? Introducing Foundation's PIM system: Have you ever wondered how businesses manage extensive product catalogs with precision and consistency? ?? Product Information Management (PIM) is a system that centralizes and manages all product-related information. It ensures that product data is accurate, consistent, and easily accessible across various channels. Having accurate and consistent product information is vital. It enhances the customer experience, reduces errors, and streamlines operations. Without a robust PIM system, businesses can struggle with data inconsistencies, manual errors, and inefficiencies. In B2B commerce, the stakes are even higher: ???Complex Products: B2B products often have more attributes and specifications than B2C products. ???Multiple Channels: B2B transactions frequently occur across multiple platforms, necessitating consistent product information. ????Customization Needs: B2B buyers often require tailored product information, pricing, and order terms. ???Large Volumes: Managing extensive product catalogs is more common in B2B, requiring efficient data handling. At Foundation, we understand the unique challenges B2B sellers face with data management. That's why we developed our PIM system to address these specific needs: Ease of Use: Anyone can manage product information with our intuitive interface – no need for a technologist. Custom Catalogs: Create different customer catalogs based on your business strategies. B2B-Specific Features: Define minimum order quantities, sell by case packs, create product variants, and custom attributes, and attach product documents. Product Segregation: Easily segregate products by brands and categories for better organization. Check out Foundation’s PIM feature, let us know what you think!
