B2B Connectivity

B2B connectivity is the electronic interchange of business information between organizations. It enables companies to electronically connect with their trading partners to exchange critical business data, such as purchase orders, invoices, and shipping notices. The goal of B2B connectivity is to streamline business processes and improve efficiencies by automating the exchange of data between trading partners.

B2B connectivity solutions typically use some form of EDI (electronic data interchange) to exchange data between organizations. EDI is a standardized format for transmitting business data that is widely used in B2B connectivity solutions. Other common technologies used for B2B connectivity include web services, file transfer protocol (FTP), and email.
