As a part of our <\/span>Plugged In<\/span><\/i> Associate Highlight sequence, I lately related with Alex Witcpalek, Founder and CEO of <\/span>Continuum<\/span><\/a>, to speak about some of the missed, and expensive, elements of B2B commerce: post-sale service workflows.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Assume returns, repairs, and warranties. Not precisely the glamorous facet of digital transformation, however as Alex put it:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
