More about the project

More Time for Individual Service due to Salesforce B2B-Onlineshop

For three generations, ARNO Werkzeuge (ARNO Tools) has been developing high-quality and individual tool systems for turning, grooving, drilling and milling. The company produces cutting machine solutions of all kinds and is based in Ostfildern, Germany, with five other branches worldwide. In order to live up to its own standards, also in terms of customer service quality, Telekom MMS implemented a B2B online store based on Salesforce. The new store is intended to offer existing customers better service and reach new customers. In doing so, it is important to create the right balance between technology, organization and user-centric processes. The resulting simplification of sales processes also gives employees more time for personal customer service.

Requirements

Done with resource-intensive customer processes

Karl-Heinz Arnold GmbH provides its customers with the best quality and individual solutions in the field of machining. The same claim now had to be transferred to the online store in order to be able to process customer inquiries more efficiently, reach new customers more easily, and thus leave more time for the customers themselves.
ARNO's existing digital strategy already included the introduction of a new Salesforce CRM and a PIM and was now to be supplemented by the introduction of a store. Particular attention was paid to data integration and data quality, as well as the connection of the corresponding interfaces to existing systems.

Solution

Onlineshop in a Corporate Design

Whether a sales channel, a tool for acquiring new customers, or support for branding is concerned, ARNO's new B2B online store meets all the requirements of a future-proof platform. The MVP release was followed by functional enhancements and continued optimization with a focus on usability. The integration of a digital strategy is often accompanied by a change in roles and tasks. Telekom MMS supports the organization with systemic change management consulting to ensure a stable change process in sales and various departments.

Benefit

Accessible and Future-Proof Through Modern Online Store

Standard orders can now be placed via an intuitively designed portal, the elimination of media discontinuities ensures that internal processes are streamlined. The time freed up can now be used to respond even more specifically and comprehensively to individual customer projects and service. The online store implemented by Telekom MMS thus ensures future security and is part of a larger digital strategy.
