Christmas is just around the corner and you are likely experiencing some B2C (Business to Customer) retail experiences to finish your shopping. Imagine creating a similar e-commerce experience for your B2B web channel - levering technology that is proven in your industry – whether it is for sales, configuring products, offering replacement parts or other services.
Buyers are increasingly expecting a similar experience they enjoy in retail (such as shopping at Amazon) during their work day when procuring for their employers. Manual processes, paper-based forms, and obsolete ordering systems are becoming unacceptable. Manufacturers who fall short of their customer expectations risk losing out to their competitors.
Watch this short video to hear more from experts, Brian Walker and Cliff Conneighton: “The Consumerization of B2B”.
