What do you get from a cloud commerce solution?

A cloud commerce solution is crucial for companies in today's digital economy. It offers numerous benefits that can revolutionize the way companies do business. In this article, we will highlight the many benefits of a cloud commerce solution and how it can increase efficiency, improve customer loyalty and drive success in the digital business world.

Consistent product data management

Whether in a sales or after-sales context: without product data in eCommerce, digital services such as spare parts stores are worthless. The Internet of Things (IoT) or machine learning cannot function without the right product data. Immensely important information such as prices and availability is always based on qualitative and consistent data.

 

The best way to do this is to use a product information management system (PIM system). All subsystems that require product data (including price and availability) can draw their information from this central PIM system. This ensures data consistency on the website, store, portal or marketplace and your customers receive reliable, correct information in quotations or in customer service.

 

In addition to data quality, visualization is a key aspect in the correct handling of products at digital touchpoints. Whether in the context of after-sales (spare parts), CPQ (configuration) or classic purchasing processes. Using 2D or 3D product visualization or even dynamic image design, for example in the context of ETO processes or individual product configurations, there is immense potential here to make your own commerce solution not only state of the art, but also modern and innovative. In other words, a cloud commerce solution - regardless of its form and scope - cannot be successful without modern visualization.

Cross-channel sales processes

Sales, for example, also benefits from up-to-date and consistent data. Good advice is only possible if the sales department knows that spare parts really fit, that the corresponding accessories can be installed or used with a special tool or only in conjunction with a service.

 

However, cloud commerce platforms can do much more for sales. If customers can keep an eye on their own order history and independently track the current status of even complex orders, availability and delivery conditions in real time, this not only ensures customer satisfaction, but also relieves the burden on inside sales and the sales department.

Customized services

With eBusiness offerings such as a spare parts store, service processes become an important economic factor. Thanks to high gross margins, this area is highly profitable - especially for durable products. The after-sales business also stabilizes turnover: demand for spare parts or maintenance services is less subject to economic fluctuations.

 

The service sector also offers great potential for completely new, lucrative business models. Digital services such as predictive maintenance, IoT dashboards, remote services and machine learning data are just a few examples. If customers monitor their own machines on service portals, manufacturers can also provide specific upgrades or recommendations for these machines - which in turn can be ordered directly in the portal. It is also possible to proactively point out errors or the possible failure (wear) of a part.

 

Designed and implemented in end-to-end processes, eCommerce solutions are the basis for holistic, profitable customer interactions. Omnichannel, in real time and personal. You too can find your path to success in eBusiness. Take a look at our references and further content. You will find plenty of new perspectives for your business model too.

Step-by-step implementation of your vision

The implementation of an individual vision in connection with the SAP Commerce Cloud offers a multitude of benefits for companies that want to position themselves successfully in the digital business world.

 

These include increased customer centricity, increased sales through personalized experiences and marketing campaigns, increased efficiency through automation and integration, scalability for growth, competitive advantage, data-driven decisions, improved user experience, future-proofing and adaptability to changing market conditions. The implementation of an individual vision on this platform enables companies to operate successfully in the digital business world and achieve long-term success.

Overall, the cloud commerce platform helps companies achieve their business goals more efficiently by increasing efficiency, promoting customer centricity and enabling adaptability to changing market conditions. This powerful platform supports companies in their quest for sustainable success in the digital economy.

Optimization of KPIs

A B2B eCommerce platform can have a significant impact on the time spent in the store, bounce rates, conversions and traffic.

 

Dwell time in the store: The B2B eCommerce platform offers the opportunity to create engaging and personalized user experiences. Through user-friendly navigation, appealing product presentations and customized recommendations, customers can stay on the website longer to explore products. This increases the time spent in the store and offers more opportunities to present products and convince potential customers.

 

Bounce rates: By improving the user experience and reducing friction points, bounce rates can be reduced. If customers can easily find what they are looking for on the website and have a smooth shopping experience, they are less likely to leave the site prematurely.

 

Conversions: The B2B eCommerce platform offers powerful features for product placement and implementing targeted marketing campaigns. This can lead to a higher conversion rate as customers are motivated to complete a purchase. In addition, the platform supports efficient payment processing and provides trust and security for the purchasing process.

 

Traffic: Implementing a cloud commerce platform can increase the visibility and reach of your products and services. With search engine optimized pages, integration with various sales channels and the ability to scale the business, you can increase traffic to your website.

 

A cloud commerce solution allows businesses to create personalized and efficient eCommerce experiences that can increase dwell time, reduce bounce rates, drive conversions and increase traffic. These positive effects are crucial to increasing eCommerce success and driving business growth.

Digital transformation in B2B: Successes, challenges and strategies

Many B2B companies have started to expand their digital commerce business to offer buyers quick self-service options and increase their market share. These initiatives have proven successful as online sales have increased as a percentage of total sales.

At what price?

Today, many companies are finding that the costs of online service are not in proportion to revenue. Online customer support for a hybrid sales model, high integration costs, the introduction of new business models and channels as well as the burden of shipping and handling costs have a negative impact on profit margins.

A recent study by Oxford Economics has identified the most important strategic priorities, including increasing profitability (75%) and opening up new markets to generate additional revenue (58%).

Almost half of the B2B companies surveyed (44%) have introduced marketplace business models during the pandemic, while almost a quarter (22%) have developed D2C models during the same period. In addition, almost two thirds (62%) are in various stages of the transition process and 26% have already carried out a platform migration in the last three years.

Only a few are sticking with their old platforms (12%).

  • 62 % of the B2B companies surveyed are in a digitization process
  • 26 % of the B2B companies surveyed have already carried out a platform migration
