4 reasons why manufacturers benefit from
e-commerce:
- Manufacturers can become more sustainable with e-commerce
B2B e-commerce with CPQ functionality enables manufacturers to offer more sustainable product variants and keep an eye on reducing waste.
- With e-commerce, manufacturers can take advantage of new business models
Predictive maintenance is changing the spare parts business. Machines automatically order the parts they need from the suppplier. This means that spare parts can be kept in stock just as needed.
- Thanks to e-commerce, manufacturers are working more efficiently
A customer portal or the associated app can integrate not only the consumables or wear parts of the system, but also the contractually specified local service partners, as we as all service orders that have been placed. Employees can thus directly initiate and accept deliveries or contact technicians to arrange a maintenance appointment.
- E-commerce drives after-sales revenue for manufacturers
Digitaler after-sales is perfect for bringing further deals on new and complementary products into play, or for offering own services. This provides manufacturers with a further, permanent income channel even after the actual product sale.
