01 Close the experience gap with SAP C/4HANA

SAP software enables experiences across the enterprise that turn customers into fans
What sort of experience are you giving your customers? Every time a customer interacts with your organization, they have an experience, regardless of what you do. The question is not if they’re experiencing but what are they experiencing. And whether you understand that experience.
You need to. If you don’t, a gap will open up between what you think you’re delivering and what your customers are actually getting. This is the experience gap. Customers want experiences that match their expectations. And you need to manage those experiences to deliver on those expectations as much as you need great products and services. In the experience economy, what sets you apart from your competitors is not just the quality of what you offer. It’s how you make people feel that matters.
To do this properly means listening to your customers. It means understanding how what they say relates to what you do. And it means acting on that understanding to improve their experiences. This is experience management, and it’s the key to closing the experience gap.
Successful experience management requires a new way of doing things. For decades, organizations have relied on operational data (O-data) – hard data that tells you what’s going on, such as profit and loss, win rates, and cart abandonment – to inform their decisions. Today, operational data is not enough. We also need to know why things are happening. Why did a customer abandon that cart? What’s causing the high rate of unsubscribing from e-mails? This is experience data (X-data), and when it’s coupled with operational data, you have the most powerful weapon in a marketer’s arsenal: an understanding of what your customers are experiencing and how their reaction affects your business.

Gaining that understanding requires the right kind of software. SAP C/4HANA, the customer experience suite from SAP, gives you the power to connect X-data with O-data, helping you move from customer relationship management to experience management.

If you’re delivering a great customer experience, chances are your business will do well. Watermark Consulting’s influential yearly report, “The Customer Experience ROI Study,” suggests leaders in customer experience (CX) generate a stock performance up to three times higher than those it defines as CX laggards. And they consistently outperform the market, generating returns up to 45 points higher than the S&P 500 Index. Ignoring this is not an option. But together with SAP C/4HANA, Experience Management solutions from SAP give you access to game-changing tools that not only allow you to monitor customer experience, but also to do something about it.

SAP Commerce Cloud

Commerce, reinvented

  • Reduce total cost of ownership – quick to install, easy to maintain, and doesn’t require customization
  • Deliver quality commerce experiences that span channels and devices and the front office and back office

For years, SAP has been a leader in the commerce platform market. Its latest cloud-native products are once again reinventing commerce by providing great flexibility: from the smallest market to the largest enterprise across the globe, from a fast deployment in just a few days to a perfect fit for every business model – B2C, B2B, and B2B2C – and across industries and marketplaces.

Together with Experience Management solutions from SAP (Qualtrics), SAP Commerce Cloud helps you listen to customers and optimize your approach, so customers always get quality experiences that deliver on your brand promise.

SAP Sales Cloud

Experience sales velocity

Sales velocity helps your sales reps sell more and
sell faster
, and in alignment with your company’s strategic goals and bottom line. But sales velocity is also closely linked with a positive customer experience.
How? It’s simple: improving the sales rep’s experience helps the customer’s experience. When sales reps have the tools to get relevant information to customers faster, deliver quotes faster, and process contracts faster, and the incentives to sell the right products faster, then customers tend to be happy as well.
The SAP Sales Cloud portfolio automates the quote-to-cash cycle. The quote and proposal process enables sales reps to configure quotes on complex offerings in minutes, not days. Contract lifecycle management takes a contract through to completion with the least amount of friction. Combined with the ability to monetize offers to meet your business objectives, sales performance management helps ensure territories and quotas are in sync and reps are motivated by topline objectives set by you. Sales automation has never been more intuitive and complete, while sales forecasting and pipeline management help sales teams plan for the future and take action to get deals moving.

  • Create a frictionless buying experience
  • Accelerate sales planning
  • Increase CRM adoption

SAP Service Cloud

Experience perfect service moments

Customer service is at the core of the customer experience. Every service moment is a moment of truth
that puts your organization to the test. How quickly can you respond? How easy can you make it for your customers? How long will it take to get the problem solved to their satisfaction?
The SAP Service Cloud solution helps organizations deliver better customer experiences in the moments when it matters most – enabling effortless self-service, supporting omnichannel customer engagement, providing on-demand field service, and bridging the gap between the front line and your operational systems.
With embedded artificial intelligence (AI), you can automate and accelerate your service processes. Easy-to-build chatbots take care of routine and repetitive tasks, giving human service reps time to deal with complex inquiries. The Internet of Things and predictive maintenance enable the replacement of parts before they fail, keeping downtime to a minimum. And AI-powered “crowd service” makes waiting for the service technician a thing of the past.
Listening to your customers closes the loop: get instant experience feedback and take immediate action before it’s too late. The SAP Qualtrics CX for Service solution provides proof that your service solution is working, and if it’s falling short, provides precise action items on how to fix it.

  • Engage your customers in the moments when it matters most to them with faster, more convenient, and more reliable service, turning them into advocates
  • Empower your frontline employees with the right tools, insight, intelligence, and training to become motivated experts and trusted advisors
  • Drive operational excellence from first contact to resolution, consistently delivering on your brand promise while reducing operating cost

02 The next step in experience management

Turning customer experience data into positive action
There is no better proof of SAP’s commitment to innovation leadership than our acquisition of Qualtrics. Their experience management (XM) technology leapfrogs the competition and helps companies realize quantifiable gains from customer experience (CX) data.
Experience Management solutions from SAP achieve this by making sense of the constantly- in-motion customer journey. Instead of
just telling you where your experiences are failing, you can find out why, so you can take quick, corrective action. That means happier customers and a boost to your bottom line. The revolutionary combination of experience data (X-data) with operational data (O-data) – what we call the “XO” factor – is the next logical step, and one you should be planning for now. So how can you achieve this, and why is it crucial for you to do so?

CAPTURING CUSTOMERS IN MOTION

First-generation tools, often called “voice of
the customer” or “customer journey” tools, presented static data about certain touch points your customer had with your company. This information was siloed by departments, and each one was trying to answer different questions: “Are they happy with my support?”; “Do they like my call center reps?”; “Is my brand leaving them with a warm, fuzzy feeling?”
The problem is, customers are always in motion, and their journeys are neither simplistic nor linear. They are complex and multifaceted. Surveys from a few months ago may be meaningless. In fact, surveys from two days ago could also be out of date. The customers may have already moved on.
Our Experience Management solutions help create a customized customer-journey model that follows customers as they move through the process of purchasing and interacting with your company, presenting a real-time view of what’s happening and why.
These solutions can do this because they use every interaction possible, from social media to text, from e-mail to phone, to capture customers in motion – in real time.

BRINGING EXPERIENCE
SILOS TOGETHER

There are three pieces of the experience puzzle:

  • Customer experience: interaction with customers at key points in their engagement with your company
  • Brand experience: real-time tracking of the traction your brand is getting in the market
  • Employee experience: finding out what keeps employees engaged and preventing churn, because happy employees result in better customer experiences

USING STATISTICAL ANALYSIS TO PINPOINT ISSUES
Receiving reports that customers are satisfied or dissatisfied with your company through a generic Net Promoter Score® (NPS) leads to more questions than answers. Not only do executives want to know what happened (“our NPS is down again this month”), they what to know why it happened so they can fix or eliminate the problem and correct the course. Our solutions solve this issue through analytic algorithms that isolate the processes or touch points that are the source of the problem. For example, when an airline saw one flight at one airport trending way below the brand’s average NPS, they dug deeper into the why. They isolated a single issue at a specific gate that had led to the poor satisfaction rating and worked with the airport to resolve the issue. Multivariate regression analysis can zero in on the particular process, policy, or complication due to events inside or outside your control. In other words, you don’t have to guess; you see the exact issue that’s causing a problem. Role-based dashboards get the analysis to stakeholders quickly without a lot of configurationor setup.

USING AI TO PREDICT EVENTS
AND SUGGEST ACTIONS
With the Qualtrics acquisition and our Experience Management solutions, we take the next step in customer experience by closing the loop and solving the issues that are keeping your customers from loving your company and your products and services.

Qualtrics IQ is a set of artificial intelligence features built into the Qualtrics XM Platform® that includes Predict IQ, which proactively identifies customers likely to switch, and even alerts
you so you can take action. Stats IQ is used to automatically identify trends across multiple data sets and millions of records. Text IQ helps identify what matters most to customers. Driver IQ can pinpoint actions that can have the most impact on customer retention or acquisition. Voice IQ turns conversations into insights by analyzing sentiment and topics in speech. The analysis is visual and easy to use, and you can drill into regions, products, and other variables.

USING EXPERIENCE MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS FROM SAP WITH SAP CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE SOLUTIONS
Together, these solutions deliver the ideal feedback loop to help companies create a customer experience that works for their industry, geography, and customer base. Insights and actions that are suggested by Experience Management solutions can be executed through SAP Marketing Cloud, SAP Sales Cloud, SAP Commerce Cloud, SAP Customer Data Cloud, and SAP Service Cloud solutions. Customer barriers and roadblocks can be removed in real time with SAP Commerce Cloud, where it’s often not obvious to executives if some glitch is causing negative customer sentiment. This can also be adapted to a variety of B2C, B2B, and omnichannel scenarios.

LITMOS

Helping employees perfect their customer experience skills

Delivering an excellent customer experience is not just about technology, it’s about people. Your sales team and other employees have regular contact with customers. How they handle each and every interaction makes or breaks your company’s reputation. You have two choices
to perfect your company’s interactions with customers: hire perfect people or perfect the people you hire.
That’s where the SAP Litmos® solution comes in. It’s a continuous “training in the now” platform that helps your employees perfect their skills in dealing with people, particularly customers. We consider it essential to any customer experience suite, because all the technology in the world can’t overcome an unprepared and untrained sales rep or service rep.
SAP Litmos is a next-generation learning solution with a philosophy suited to today’s quick-moving business environment.

  • DECENTRALIZED AND USED BY ANYONE
    Training should not be “owned” solely by HR. With Litmos you can deploy the solution at the business level where managers know the issues better than anyone. And it’s easy to spin up a new course.
  • IDEAL FOR SALES TRAINING
    Training at a once-a-year sales event is often forgotten a few days after it ends. Sales reps need training on products when they have deals in motion. SAP Litmos solves this problem by providing training that’s continuously available and on demand. It also can be used for on-the-
    fly coaching on prospecting, pipeline building, negotiating, and other critical sales competencies that are learned skills. And it can be added to your total sales enablement suite.
  • PERFECT FOR C-LEVEL INITIATIVES
    Realizing strategic, company-wide goals often requires training. An agile, easy-to-set-up training program such as SAP Litmos helps. If you find gaps in your customer experience area, this is the perfect avenue to correct behaviors that may be the cause.
  • BROAD REACH WITH
    OFF-THE-SHELF COURSES
    Build up your training library with instant access to thousands of professionally created, video- based courses. Content is added every month in critical subject areas such as compliance, sales mastery, and customer service.

VIVO brings blockchain to life with democratized consent

Blockchain’s decentralized, self-managed system of trusted transactions is finding a home in customer experience, and the payoff can be big for companies that invest in it.
SAP Customer Experience Labs debuted a prototype application dubbed “VIVO” at the SAP Customer Experience LIVE event held in October 2018. Since then, user interest has grown, and new use cases just keep coming.
The business problem that VIVO solves is one that most companies are all too familiar with: managing consent in a way that helps their business instead of hurting it. Turns out that blockchain combined with the SAP Customer Data Cloud portfolio is the perfect fit for an underlying technology solution.
VIVO turns consent into a user-controlled process where a series of trust steps are taken by customers and businesses (or others) to form a mutually beneficial arrangement.
For example, an individual may parcel out consent to their personal usage data in exchange for receiving special discounts or offers from a vendor.
Other possible applications include an individual giving consent to share health data for a study in exchange for personalized training instructions for an exercise program.
It’s a win-win, as the user controls the process each step of the way and marketers are able to work with leads that are receptive to their message.

ADDITIONAL USES FOR BLOCKCHAIN
Another blockchain application that SAP Customer Experience Labs is pioneering is coordinating product management and rollout. New-product creation involves a number of trust relationships to advance the product from design to production, including sharing documents. Blockchain is the most practical way to make that happen.
And more applications are on the way.
A single, global digital identity is the next logical step in terms of blockchain, and SAP Customer Experience Labs is researching ways to make this a reality.

The factory floor of the future

So what happens when something goes wrong, when a key piece of equipment on your factory floor suddenly stops working? Field technicians may be far away, perhaps even in a different country, and waiting days to get your equipment fixed can be disastrous.
SAP Customer Experience Labs work
on technology that can get things fixed faster. Instead of waiting for the vendor to send a service technician to your factory, you can scan an image of the nonworking equipment and create a realistic 3D texture and mesh model.
Using augmented or virtual reality (AR/ VR), the vendor’s off-site technician can investigate the machine and give guidance so that you can make the fix yourself. It’s almost as if the technician is teleported into the 3D environment through AR/VR.
Even in cases where the problem can’t be solved immediately, the vendor now has a wealth of information about your issue and can rule out certain fixes that have been tried and failed in the past. Technicians are well prepared and have the right parts when they show up in person.
What about factory sites that don’t allow laptops, cameras, or even smartphones
on the premises for security reasons?
New natural-language processing (NLP) technology that uses flip phones can be activated to engage with a conversational AI chatbot that guides you in troubleshooting the issue.

What does successful innovation look like?

Getting closer to your customers

THE CHALLENGE
How do you connect directly with your customers when your products are sold primarily through third-party businesses? Think about refrigerators, lawn mowers, or snowboards. If you’re Bosch, John Deere, or Burton, you may not know who buys your products. But you could.

THE PROTOTYPE
At SAP Customer Experience Labs, this is the type
of challenge that gets us excited. We’re working on
a way to capture personal, behavioral, and purchase data from “indirect” customers – a solution that could combine marketing, sales, commerce, and customer data functionality to paint a complete picture of the customer journey.
With a solution like this, a company could get a more complete view of its customers, enabling it to make more recommendations for its products and increase brand loyalty. With a better understanding of the customer’s journey, a company could improve the overall customer experience with personalized touches that turn customers into brand ambassadors.

Get the perfect fit every time – in no time

THE CHALLENGE
Shopping for clothes isn’t always a fun experience. In fact, for a lot of us, it’s a real pain. Driving to
the store, parking the car, looking through racks
of clothes, wondering if an item is even worth trying on. What if stores could offer a personalized shopper to help you find your perfect fit, turning your shopping experience from a nightmare into the experience of your dreams?

THE PROTOTYPE
Retailers could provide a mobile app that connects customers with an in-store stylist. A customer
can request new styles or sizes directly from the fitting room – no need to flag down the nearest employee. And the stylist could make personalized recommendations and pursue cross-sell and up- sell opportunities based on their interaction. As a bonus, the customer can skip the line and check out on the spot with their stylist.
This one-of-a-kind personal shopping experience can help retailers improve the overall shopping
and fitting-room experience and increase in-store customer engagement. In addition, they can capture customer data, including style preferences, sizes, and purchase history, and can use that to continue the personal customer experience in the future.

You’re not alone in the field

THE CHALLENGE
As demand for your product increases, can your sales team keep up? Or are they always a couple of steps behind your competitors? What would it take to empower your salespeople to deliver the best experience to your customers?

THE PROTOTYPE
Combine mobile with bot, and you have a mobile chatbot solution to help sales associates in the field. Now, they can check inventory and prepare orders on the spot, instead of waiting until they return to the office.
The new experience can expedite the ordering process while minimizing order errors. Customers can review their order as it’s being created, and the sales rep can give them real- time inventory reports. The digital platform maximizes the field sales experience and improves overall customer satisfaction.

Eye spy, I buy

FashionLabs makes search visual

When shoppers find an outfit online, they can use the app’s storefront to upload a picture, triggering a search. The clothing items in the picture are identified and highlighted with bounding boxes. The shopper clicks on a box to trigger a search for similar products available for purchase. You can create an endless loop of discovery by featuring inspirational photos from influencers on the product details page and including cross-sell and up-sell “complete the look” options. Through the searches, the system learns more about the user’s preferences in terms of style aesthetic, colors and patterns, and clothing type, and it can tailor content based on those preferences. Your customers can recreate looks they love while you crowdsource market trends and generate product-bundling opportunities.

This prototype shows how SAP S/4HANA can integrate with the SAP C/4HANA suite to connect the demand chain with the supply chain.

And, of course, the mobile app works for more than fashion apparel. This technology could be applied easily to any number of retail businesses – from home decor to consumer packaged goods. If your customers can see it, they can search for it.

Artificial intelligenceand virtual reality revolutionize fashion retail

Innovation doesn’t happen in a vacuum. It takes a whole ecosystem – and at SAP, we’re working with some of the most innovative startups and using the latest technology to augment the SAP C/4HANA suite
For example, in the hypercompetitive retail space, a group of startups is pioneering applications that enable customers to try on clothes, get immersed in virtual reality with a vendor’s products, and put together stylish outfits that are proven winners. In fact, in many ways, the new virtual experience exceeds the in-store experience. The end result is a happier customer and fewer returns.

Here’s how some of the technology works.

GROUNDBREAKING VIRTUAL FITTING ROOMS
Virtual fitting-room technologies are moving from concept to reality with the help of startups such as 3DLOOK, based in San Mateo, California. Online apparel shopping has traditionally suffered from a returns problem, usually related to customers receiving items that don’t fit them correctly. Returns are costly and create a negative experience for customers. Who wants to receive clothes that don’t fit?

3DLOOK is helping solve the issue with ground- breaking technology to create a physically correct avatar that allows customers to “try on” clothes and check the fit. On the customer side, it couldn’t be easier. Using a mobile phone, you take two photos of yourself fully clothed. The technology uses computer vision, neural networks, and complex 3D statistical modeling to generate the realistic avatar and extract measurements. 3DLOOK software then computes and analyzes this physiometric data and builds personalized insights.
The matching is so good, it exceeds the accuracy 2 of using a tape measure in a store. But it doesn’t stop there. With your avatar, you try on clothes that fit the brand look the retailer is promoting. You can even use augmented reality to see how your outfit looks in various settings. But the real treasure may be in the data a retailer will get. The customer’s true size, the matched garments they end up purchasing together, and those they discard all provide fodder for new-product development and for follow-up marketing personalized for customers or groups of customers.

IMMERSE YOURSELF IN VIRTUAL REALITY
Holding a pair of jeans or another item and getting a good look at it from all angles has long been something missing from the digital buying experience. Chicago-based startup ThreeKit has a solution that may just bridge the gap and provide an even better experience than being in the store.
ThreeKit’s visual configurator provides a realistic 3D model of the item that the customer can rotate, flip, scale, or view from any angle directly through a browser and directly on the product page of the e-commerce store.
But it’s not just off-the-shelf items that can be viewed this way. ThreeKit can show customers realistic 3D representations of products that don’t even exist. And they don’t have to exist until they are purchased, at which point the specs can be passed to manufacturing.
For a complex product, ThreeKit can break down a product into its various components, and all those components can be mixed and matched. This approach allows for and scales to billions of possible combinations.
For items such as apparel, users can instantly customize the item, for example, change the color or visualize what it looks like with other options, such as a V-neck versus a boatneck for a sweater. You could even construct an AR/ VR setting for the item to see what it looks like in your living room or on your patio.
The benefits to retailers are big. According to ThreeKit, there is up to a 40% increase in conversions and an 80% reduction in returns with their visual configurator. Also, customers who want to customize the item are willing to pay a premium.

COMPLETE THE LOOK AND GET FASHIONABLE FAST
FINDMINE automates the work of expert merchandisers whose job is to suggest “looks” based on the unique fashion point of view of the brand or retailer. It also takes practical considerations into account, such as what items may be in inventory that need to be sold at a particular time. In other words, it gives merchandisers control to make finely tuned expert recommendations that show shoppers how to use what they’re buying, rather than relying on affinity recommendations from cohort analysis that simply show what other shoppers bought. Artificial intelligence complements this merchandiser expert system by adding predictive intelligence to find combinations that work well based on the performance of previous looks. Customer preferences and sizes can be imported as well for more precise suggestions. AI also provides scale: FINDMINE serves 2 billion looks each year, giving retailers maximum catalog coverage and the ability to show consistent looks across channels from physical stores to e-commerce stores to marketing.
According to FINDMINE, the results so far have been remarkable: A 4% to 9% uplift in overall sales for customers such as adidas, John Varvatos, and Perry Ellis.
According to FINDMINE cofounder and CEO Michelle Bacharach, AI has helped merchandisers uncover surprising techniques. For example, suggesting undergarments to complete the look was usually not considered in the past. However, in real life, it may be a key part to making a skirt or pair of slacks work for many buyers. And the data is there to prove it. “Merchandisers have great intuition, and we let them test and validate their hypotheses,” she says.

IN-STORE PURCHASES WITHOUT CHECKOUT LINES
Munich-based startup rapitag is aiming to bring
the same benefits of digital commerce to the in- store world with some groundbreaking technology. Waiting in a checkout line has long been identified as a negative part of the in-store shopping experience. rapitag has pioneered a smart device that replaces those antitheft security devices that the cashier needs to remove at checkout time. With the rapitag device, customers, not cashiers, unlock and remove the device by purchasing a product through a mobile app.
Using Bluetooth in near-field communication, the user passes the phone next to the tagged item and instantly gets information on pricing and other product information for that exact item. The app connects to common online payment options, and when the customer pays, a unique token is generated that unlocks the rapitag device. The customer is free to leave the store with the item or continue shopping. The rapitag device stays in the store, to be reused with another product.
The device is more secure than either current mobile checkout technologies or older security devices because a rapitag device is mapped to an individual product and is harder to manipulate by shoplifters or employees.
The big benefit is not just convenience for the customer: conversion is more likely if customers don’t have the “barrier” of waiting in line and can purchase instantly. They can also continue to shop and purchase and unlock other items. That’s the e-commerce experience transported to the physical store.
Also, like the digital experience, all the motions of the customer are recorded in real time. It would be possible, for example, to recommend a scarf to go with a coat that has just been purchased and guide the customer to where it is located within the store. rapitag is also the perfect omnichannel technology. Currently, it uses the SAP Commerce Cloud solution
for storing the items in the catalog with pricing and promotions. Since the data is shared, retailers can follow up with the customer by offering online promotions and deals that map to their tastes.

Learn how best-run organizations are tapping into the power of SAP solutions to become connected, intelligent, and customer obsessed

American Cancer Society: How did the American Cancer Society streamline registration and clarify constituent needs?

Driving a 20% reduction in cancer deaths since 1991

The American Cancer Society Inc. (ACS) is the largest nongovernment, not-for- profit funding source for cancer research in the United States. Since 1913, its grassroots operations have raised awareness and helped fight for every birthday threatened by the disease. Its websites arm millions of volunteers, donors, researchers, doctors, and patients with resources to fight cancer from every angle. But managing user authentication and delivering relevant information was growing difficult. ACS needed a next-generation sign-on process and a deeper understanding of how its community interacts with its online resources.

ACS gained 3.5 million user registrations per year with its stress-free sign-on, vastly extending the reach of its lifesaving message.

The SAP Customer Identity and SAP Customer Profile solutions in the SAP Customer Data Cloud portfolio helped the American Cancer Society Inc. (ACS):

  • Develop its Constituent 360 program for a full overview of the community and a single identity for each member
  • Promote a single version of the truth across the organization to streamline operations and enhance analysis

WHAT IS THE BENEFIT?

Alfonso Mariniello, VP of global partnership at Adform, says, “It makes sure planning, buying, optimizing, and analyzing display campaigns are all done in one place, thus saving time and resources.” He adds, “Tailored ads follow the modern user’s behavior, and because they integrate in an unobtrusive way within the content they’re looking at, they allow the advertiser to tell a story on different devices and in a more involving
way than standard advertising.” This means media spend can be used elsewhere more effectively to convert browsers into valuable customers.

6 Mediafly: Empower your sales reps

WHAT IS IT?
Mediafly is a sales empowerment platform for the
SAP Cloud for Customer solution, designed to enable presenters to tailor the content of their presentations in a dynamic and agile way. “Salespeople often present in a linear fashion,” explains Tony Kavadas, the company’s EVP of global sales and alliances. “Yet during the sales process, things invariably don’t progress that way. Customers interrupt, ask questions, focus on different points, and ask for calculations on the fly.”
Mediafly is based around a concept called “Evolved Selling.” Presenters can respond by accessing relevant and appropriate content – be that Microsoft PowerPoint slides, Adobe PDFs, charts, or video – quickly and easily. This enables them to optimize the presentation to suit their customers’ requirements dynamically.

WHAT IS THE BENEFIT?
In addition to meeting the requirements of the customer and delivering a more organic sales process, Kavadas believes that Mediafly offers two other key benefits.
First, there’s a significant time savings for the salesperson who no longer has to be constantly creating or updating presentations. According to Kavadas, this could potentially decrease the time they spend on actual sales presentations by up to 25%.
Second, each presentation is tracked. So, for example, companies are able to capture and analyze the interactions during each meeting and use that data to inform their future sales strategy.
All the content is stored on the device (laptop, iPad, and so on),
so there’s no requirement for Wi-Fi or a mobile network. Mediafly has also added tools, such as a calculator, to enable presenters to offer projections or provide return on investment without having to leave the app.

WHO IS IT GOOD FOR?
Mediafly has already been deployed by sales teams in
a broad spectrum of industries, including consumer products, healthcare and life sciences, media, and financial services. Clients include Pepsi, Miller, Sony, NBC, and Goldman Sachs.

7 Mirakl: Create online marketplaces

This allows those organizations to offer a wider range of goods and services without the need to carry inventory, increasing profitability due to lower overheads.

WHAT IS THE BENEFIT?
Amazon has been a major disrupter in the B2C sector for many years, but the arrival of Amazon Business – a version aimed at B2B companies – has meant that many providers need to seek such a marketplace platform to remain competitive. Mirakl offers that alternative.
