As a distributor, you could be experiencing higher demands of your products. Or, oppositely, a break in the supply chain could have drastically changed your product availability. Regardless, with an unprecedented number of people now working and shopping from home, it’s more important than ever that your website is running smoothly and that you are utilizing an efficient B2B e-commerce integration system. 

To help set you up for success, here are three e-commerce best practices that will keep your business moving forward during this Coronavirus pandemic.

## [Google BERT: One of Google's Biggest Algorithm Updates](https://blog.aldrichsolutions.com/google-bert)

On October 25, 2019, [Google announced](https://blog.google/products/search/search-language-understanding-bert) their latest search algorithm update: BERT.
