ALIBABA.COM: How to Succeed in the Global B2B E-Commerce Marketplace

It’s been an amazing year for the construction and remodeling industries in terms of demand. COVID-19 had a huge impact on the volume of business, as well as where and how materials and products were sourced. But of course, that also brought supply chain and cost challenges. Businesses across the industry are looking for real-world solutions for overcoming those challenges and taking advantage of the massive digital B2B trade opportunities that are out there – especially when borders are crossed. Ensuring quality, and giving buyers access to more choices from different suppliers to find products at a price that works for them and their needs, meet their strict requirements, and managing smooth and fast delivery rank among the most important hurdles for buyers.

The Dramatic Impact of COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic dramatically accelerated “going digital” as many aspects of the industry have had to make adjustments, essentially overnight.

According to a recent Alibaba.com survey, U.S. B2B small and medium-sized businesses—both retailers and manufacturers—are digitizing at a tremendous speed. As a result, we are seeing a more than 150% rise in transactions involving these businesses on the Alibaba.com platform since the start of the pandemic as companies turn to us as their partner for B2B ecommerce.

Businesses have now been exposed to the upsides of embracing ecommerce, and are in search of ways to successfully adopt these new technologies to gain more efficiencies, and achieve new levels of growth.

Alibaba.com and Elite Partner, Doorwin Group, are Leading the Way

As one of the world’s largest B2B and wholesale online marketplaces, Alibaba.com, and their Elite Partners the Doorwin Group., are leading the way in the digitalization of the Construction and Real Estate industry.

Founded in October 2016, Doorwin entered the market with a specific focus on high-end custom-made windows and doors, and a company mission based on combining advanced innovation & excellent service. Doorwin’s innovations include one of the world’s most advanced CNC fully-automated production lines, new patented designs, and an abundant research and development capability that enables them to satisfy global standards and optimize production. 

This in turn empowers Doorwin to respond quickly to market demands and be 100% customer-centric. And that’s exactly where they excel: reducing cost as much as possible while guaranteeing the optimal product quality, performance, and workmanship. This proved to be essential during the COVID-19 pandemic when the U.S. housing demand plus the manufacturing and supply chain difficulties led to rising material costs and a shortage of building products.

In just three years, Doorwin has become one of the top ecommerce brands for windows and doors.
