View the Customer StoryAdding a marketplace allows businesses the chance to quickly extend their product assortment and available pool of inventory. This applies to both multi-channel and pure play online sellers.
B2B customers want choice, competitive prices, and above all, an outstanding buying experience. A strong marketplace enhances site navigability and establishes a consistent omni-channel experience between the offline and online channels. This directly leads to increased customer loyalty and brand advocacy.
It can be risky and expensive to expand inventory expansion in the traditional business model. You have to plan, buy, store, and ship products without knowing if customers truly desire them. This often results in wasted dollars and time. But a marketplace allows you to increase your product assortment without taking on the perils of merchandising, buying, warehousing, and shipping.
Marketplaces streamline the process to onboard new third-party sellers and products. This makes it easier and more cost efficient to expand products at scale, driving increased traffic, sales, and 2 to 3 times more profitable dollars on those sales than traditional owned products.
B2B buyers and sellers want a streamlined ordering process. Order management allows buyers to more efficiently track their online orders and allows businesses to more easily fulfill and provision products and services.
CloudCraze order management capabilities go beyond traditional distributed order management and provides a data-driven experience to simplify fulfillment operations. Benefits include:
Customers crave more control. Companies across industries are responding to this need by shifting to a subscription-based model – offering customers the power to choose their bundles, how and when they pay, and most importantly manage their upgrades, downgrades and cancellations.
With CloudCraze, offers and subscriptions strategies can easily scale to meet changing business needs. CloudCraze delivers the advanced capabilities that form a superior customer experience, including:
