Leading brands rely on digital customer portals, powered by Intershop
Unlock real efficiency across sales and service – with a digital customer portal.
The four pillars of Intershop’s digital customer portal solution
B2B self-services
Empower B2B buyers by providing self-service capabilities in your customer portal, allowing them to independently manage data, products, service agreements, workflows, and cost center budgets. Offer 24/7 access for streamlined administrative tasks, including easy reordering, quote creation, and access to e-learning content. This enhances customer autonomy while optimizing their internal processes.
After-sales services
A digital customer portal can significantly boost after-sales efforts by enhancing communication, support, processes, and customer engagement. It contains up-to-date customer data, buying history and information relevant to the machines or products in use. This data can be used to create personalized and perfectly timed offers for replacement, additional purchases, spare parts, consumables and even anticipate upcoming needs. This minimizes unplanned downtimes and prevents out-of-stock situation.
Digital sales processes
A digital customer portal frees up time for sales staff to focus on nurturing their new accounts, as they are no longer required to spend time manually processing orders or checking order statuses. This shift allows the sales force to adopt a more solution-oriented, data-driven, and consultative approach. By streamlining digital sales processes, both sales and support staff can provide more personalized service to customers. Consequently, this not only leads to increased sales and cost savings but also helps prevent recurring tasks and mistakes.
Digital service models
As products become increasingly digitized within the Internet of Things, they are capable of collecting data, providing insights into product usage and customer behavior. Manufacturers or wholesalers can leverage this data to identify specific customer needs and develop tailored digital services, such as automated reordering through smart shelves or pay-per-use models. These digitized products, often referred to as the 'installed base,' can be registered in a digital customer portal and seamlessly linked to these digital services.
