Business Supplies
Your customer buys his paper online. He requests a quote for multifunctionals and desks. Everything from one platform. Powered by digital tools. This way you support your customers better, based on insights obtained from all data that is bundled.
Be ready to engage the “everywhere customer” and position sales to facilitate complex buying decisions Gartner
As the market leader in the Benelux, Propeller has a great deal of in-house knowledge of business supplies. On our platform, our specialism translates into functionalities that are important in this market and robust integrations with relevant distributors.
In this competitive market, it is important to optimally organize and coordinate your sales processes. With Propeller, we streamline your sales – online (e-commerce) and offline (in-person and remote). Partly fueled by the corona pandemic, B2B sales are shifting to three sales channels: in-person, remote (from home or at the office), and e-commerce.
Market research firm Gartner predicts that B2B customers will increasingly want to do business through digital self-service channels. In its report, The Future of Sales, it predicts that by 2025, as much as 80% of all B2B sales interactions will take place through digital channels. Yet only 33% of those surveyed would like to make purchases without the intervention of a sales professional by then.
Despite the enormous growth in online sales, offline sales will remain the #1 business driver. Certainly, with large and complex orders, there will always be a need for human contact and personal advice. So why focus all your arrows on just the e-commerce channel? Yet you still see this happen often.
With Propeller, we facilitate all these channels and merge the processes into one consistent experience for your customers and one clear funnel for your organization.
The benefits for you and your customers
- High customer satisfaction
- Less administration and less chance of errors, so higher margin
- More turnover, because your sales team has more time for high-value sales and service.
Digitize your (after) sales organization
Simple orders and low-end services are often done online, but for larger, complex orders and advice, contact with sales is often desirable. Propeller supports both with digital tooling:
- The integrated quote editor; With Propeller, your sales and services team has the tooling to quickly compile accurate quotes.
- Cross and upsell; The quote editor gives you suggestions for upsell products that match the products in your quote. You can add this as an option to your quote.
- Zero-touch ordering; Wanneer je klant de offerte heeft geaccordeerd, wordt deze automatisch doorgezet naar je leveranciers en/of eigen magazijn. Natuurlijk wordt de order ook automatisch verwerkt in je ERP.
- Guided selling; Wanneer jouw klant niet helemaal zeker is van een online aankoop, kan je hem als accountmanager begeleiden in het proces. Met onze digital tooling wordt het salesproces optimaal afgestemd – online, offline of hybride.
- Digital self-service portals; Customers handle simple orders and low-end services themselves in their personal self-service portal. This creates time and space for the sales organization for high value services.
Create quotes
With Propeller you have all the tools in one environment to quickly and accurately draw up quotations.
