eC3 Certification
The eCommerce Capabilities Certificate (eC3™) serves to identify the capability level of eCommerce businesses which helps prove your company's ability to effectively engage in eCommerce activities.
Both sellers and marketplaces require a core foundation of capabilities for eCommerce operation. These basics are vital to engage in eCommerce such as product data, shipping, inventory, customer service, and marketing. With additional investment, these vital capabilities can be improved, additional technology can be integrated, and investment can be made in automation of business operations.
The NCECB's three tiers of the eC3 help certify your eCommerce business capabilities and allow you to demonstrate this achievement. Our certification methodology, built on years of experience with eCommerce, will not only gauge your capabilities but identify areas of improvement.
