When it comes to personal customer meetings, traditional field sales and distribution remain a key success factor in many companies. However, with the increasing **digitization of B2B**, customers and buyers now expect immediate, cross-device access to relevant product information at any time.
A **digital product catalog** or a **self-service portal in B2B** meets this demand and at the same time reduces the workload for the sales department. Nevertheless, many sales employees are initially skeptical about such solutions.

In today's digital world, the success of your **product communication** depends on how quickly and efficiently you can respond to change. Traditional **PIM projects**, with their long and inflexible planning phases, can quickly become a burden. They often lead to disappointing results, as the solution no longer meets current requirements by the time it is completed, or may need to be redesigned in the meantime.

Agile PIM: Best practices for a successful PIM strategy

With the **Digital Product Passport (DPP)**, the EU is sending a clear signal for greater sustainability and transparency in product communication. From 2027, the **Digital Product Passport** will become mandatory for the first product groups. This is a step that will have far-reaching implications for **manufacturers, retailers, and the entire supply chain**.

When it comes to digital sales channels, it is no longer enough to simply present products in a technically accurate manner. It is crucial that **product information is consistent, contextualized, and tailored to the target audience** in order to inform and convince.
**Product Experience Management (PXM)** helps companies present their products across all digital touchpoints in a way that is understandable, relevant, and emotionally appealing—thus actively contributing to the **customer experience** and purchasing decision.

Marketing automation in e-commerce: Target customers and manage processes intelligently

Customer expectations are changing rapidly: customers want consistent, complete, and appealing **product presentations** at all times – whether in B2B or B2C. They gather information online, compare offers, and expect product presentations that are accessible, consistent, and rich in information at all times. Those who fail to deliver will lose out. **Product information** is a central component of the digital **customer experience** and crucial for purchasing decisions.

The new Product Safety Regulation GPSR 2023/988 came into force on December 13, 2024. It affects all companies that sell products in the European single market - both online and offline. Online retailers in particular should act now, as the obligations in e-commerce are extensive. The Product Safety Regulation requires more transparency, better traceability and the digital provision of safety-relevant information.

The expectations of B2B customers have changed fundamentally in recent years. In their private lives, users are used to relevant content being shared digitally that corresponds to their interests. This expectation is increasingly being transferred to professional contexts. This presents marketing and sales with new challenges, but at the same time offers enormous potential for more relevance in communication. The key: personalization in B2B.

SAP Commerce, formerly known as Hybris, has established itself as one of the leading ERP and e-commerce systems, particularly in the area of product data management (PDM). Hybris Product Content Management (PCM) was originally developed to efficiently manage simple product data. The system offers solid functions for categorising and maintaining product information, but was not designed to cover the complex requirements of modern product information management (PIM). 
With the impending end of life of SAP Commerce On-Premise, many companies are now faced with the question: What's next? Seize this opportunity for a forward-looking strategic realignment.

Accessibility in the digital space will become a legal requirement from June 2025 – at least for many companies. The Accessibility Enhancement Act (BFSG) will require B2C companies to make their websites and apps accessible from this date onwards. In this article, you can find out why digital accessibility is also important for B2B companies.

Why change at all? In a dynamic e-commerce landscape, flexibility is the key to success. Customer needs are constantly changing, new technologies and trends are emerging at a rapid pace, and competition is intensifying. To remain successful in this environment, companies must continuously develop their e-commerce platforms. Many shop operators are faced with the challenge of modernizing their e-commerce platforms to keep pace with the increasing demands of their customers. However, existing systems are often unable to bring these requirements to market at the required speed. Against the backdrop of the approaching end of support for SAP Commerce on-premise, this article looks at replacing a monolith with composable commerce using the example of SAP Commerce migration.
