Digital transformation requires platforms that drive connectivity with all key stakeholders and specifically a heightened focus on the customer. Best-in-class manufacturing companies are leveraging digital ecosystems to strengthen key business relationships, grow revenue, and forge valuable customer interactions.
What is a digital ecosystem? In nature, an ecosystem is the collective animal and plant species in a particular environment that are all interconnected. A digital ecosystem for manufacturing includes all the interconnected players in the distribution chain from suppliers to end users, dealers, agencies, trade schools and associations. Digital ecosystems help manufacturers grow their business and become more connected with every aspect of their value chain.
Channel partners are a manufacturer’s direct connection to customers. Building an effective sales channel and leveraging independently owned and operated businesses often presents challenges.
We’ve identified six common challenges manufacturers face, and we built our PRM solution around solving those six challenges. From challenges with partner recruitment to identifying and measuring the right metrics for your distribution channel, a PRM solution will enable a channel to produce optimal results—engaged dealers and customers, brand loyalty and retention, new and incremental sales, and stronger digital connections with key stakeholders.
