According to PRNews Wire, for Inovis, the B2BGateway relationship enables the company to expand the reach of its Inovisworks VAN within the global small and medium sized business (SMB) market. With the relationship, B2BGateway will be able to offer its rapidly growing base of SMB customers access to a state-of-the-art, high-quality VAN as a strategic backbone for global supply chain communications.

With the option of Inovisworks integration, B2BGateway customers can potentially gain greater value from other investments they have made in automating processes before the order, throughout the supply chain and after the Fulfillment of the order.
