Konica Minolta Business Solutions U.S.A., Inc. (Konica Minolta) announced it has partnered with Elastic Path to transform its B2B commerce experience. Elastic Path is the creator and leader of the Composable Commerce Movement, an approach that enables business and technology teams to bring their brands’ unique digital vision to life. This is accomplished by launching and continuously optimizing digital commerce experiences that leverage multiple best-of-breed vendors composed together in a complete, business-ready solution.

Purchasing technology can often have a high level of complex business configurations that historically required one-to-one communication, creating a barrier for buyers. This new alliance has enabled Konica Minolta to create a frictionless buying experience for customers and expand its potential customer base. With the company’s new digital channel, buyers can evaluate what they need to purchase with easy-to-navigate bundles and add-on services.
