How can you extract all possible value from your technology investments while supporting your company growth and innovation? This is the daunting task for manufacturing companies in the digital commerce era. More than ever, the status quo of how we conduct traditional commerce is under transition. The Amazon effect is impacting customer expectations for self-service, even in complex B2B deals, and the sales team is moving from order takers into being a trusted advisor, or a value-adding consultant.

43% of B2B buyers prefer to buy a product directly from the brand that manufactures it, rather than the distributor that sells it, and 20% of them are willing to pay slightly more for the opportunity to do so.

Measurable results for Manufacturing

The smart manufacturer

Arm your team with the information they need by giving your field reps and customer support agents access to a 360-degree view of all customer information. By digitizing the business, manufacturers can create dynamic B2B and B2B2C storefronts that present real-time, contextual content. The evolution of Industry 4.0 gives manufacturers access to more data than ever before. Connected devices report critical information back to manufacturers, empowering them to deliver real-time support, maintenance, and even upgrade opportunities in a 1-1, customer-focused scenario.

Cater to all your customers – wherever, whenever

Make it easy for your customers to order from you. Modern B2B buyers want the flexibility that comes with omnichannel commerce. Give your B2B buyers access to self-service features, account based pricing and 24/7 access to up-to-date support materials. Increase revenue and deepen customer engagement by taking advantage of direct-to-consumer sales opportunities and new markets.

Leveraging the aftermarket

Opportunities to continuously add value extend beyond the initial sale or service agreement. Savvy manufacturers can optimize their aftermarket sales potential by proactively selling and servicing spare parts, installing upgrades, and delivering training and inspections. Imagine being able to tap into a 360-degree view of your customers that tells your sales team exactly when replacement parts will be required. With an intelligent platform, manufacturers can put the right offers in front of the right customers, at just the right time. Connected devices that can be remotely monitored, combined with artificial intelligence (AI), present additional opportunities to upsell before parts wear down, automatically replenishing orders and avoiding any interruption in service—a service your customers won’t get from a commoditized marketplace like Amazon.

Product Information Management (PIM) for omnichannel customer experience management

PIM helps a company create and maintain one record of a product in a database, so it’s always up-to-date to be shared and published to all media channels. When product data is in different formats, incomplete, or inaccurate, graduating to an omnichannel commerce platform is impossible. PIM ensures your salespeople and end customers have the ability to view your product information in an up-to-date and understandable format – and can be easily and quickly updated through all channels.

Integrations & extensions for manufacturers

Our extensive experience integrating with ERP, CRM and OMS systems completes the omnichannel circle by letting you connect to the backend user data you already have. Hundreds of integrations to third-party services including payment gateways, email service providers, loyalty programs, fraud detection services, social media and more mean manufacturers truly achieve omni-channel success.
