A manufacturer running contract\u2011based pricing across hundreds of distributors will not choose the same platform as a mid\u2011market wholesaler launching its first online catalog.

To stay competitive, leading firms are investing in AI\u2011powered commerce, strong self\u2011service experiences, and continuous innovation roadmaps rather than treating ecommerce as a one\u2011off IT project.
