A good question! There are many B2B solutions on the market and each offer a variety of benefits that may suit specific use-cases or customer types. Beyond functionality and features, there is one major benefit of SparkLayer that makes it compelling - you get to use your existing website and SparkLayer simply 'layers' on top (hence the name, SparkLayer!). Many other solutions are built as 'web portals' meaning customers have to use an entirely separate website. Whilst this may be useful, if you already have an existing website (e.g. for your DTC retail customers) or you use an eCommerce platform you're already familiar with, you'll need to manage multiple systems and tools which can add operational complexity.
