Using customer data models for B2B2C

With the business-to-business-to-consumer (B2B2C) model, organizations across industries can easily configure multi-level customer relationships and support business customers who can support their end consumers.

Understanding the B2B2C model

The B2B2C model involves interactions where a business sells products or services to another business, which then provides these products or services to the end consumer. The functionality supports multi-layered relationships by capturing and organizing relevant data across both business entities and end consumers.
