The challenge

Outdated Processes in a Modern Marketplace

In the construction and demolition industry, Attach2 Limited delivers precision-engineered excavator attachments to customers worldwide. However, Attach2’s reliance on manual processes created roadblocks that limited their ability to scale effectively.

Tasks like updating pricing, processing orders, and managing inquiries consumed significant time, slowing down both internal operations and customer service.

Key Challenges:

  • Real-Time Pricing and Inventory Visibility: Customers needed instant access to accurate pricing and stock data to avoid delays.
  • Customer Self-Service: Empowering customers to manage quotes, orders, and inquiries independently was critical to reducing manual workloads.
  • Scalable Growth: Attach2 needed a system that could seamlessly onboard large accounts while preparing for expansion to smaller customers.

We needed a solution that could seamlessly integrate with Business Central, handle complex pricing, and streamline quoting without requiring extensive development work

Complexities

Attach2 Limited’s Mission to Streamline Complex Sales Processes

Staying ahead in their competitive market requires more than just excellent products, it demands operational efficiency and customer-centric solutions.

Attach2 Limited’s growth ambitions were hindered by complexities that many B2B businesses face. Let’s explore these complexities from both a channel and product perspective:

Tailored Pricing for Every Customer

Attach2 operates with a highly complex pricing structure, customized based on contracts, volume discounts, and individual agreements. Ensuring real-time accuracy for each customer’s unique pricing was a critical challenge that traditional manual processes couldn’t meet.

Complex Assemblies with Multiple Components

Attach2’s product catalog of 2,800 items includes assemblies that depend on multiple components being available simultaneously. Real-time stock visibility for these components was essential to prevent delays and ensure customers could trust the availability of their orders.

Global Customer Base, Diverse Needs

Serving customers across New Zealand, Australia, and beyond meant accommodating varying preferences for quoting, order fulfillment, and delivery expectations. This added another layer of complexity to Attach2’s operations.

The solution

How Attach2 Limited Transformed Operations with Sana Commerce Cloud

Attach2 sought an e-commerce solution that could provide a seamless, customer-centric experience while integrating directly with Business Central. Their key objectives included:

  • Accurate Pricing and Inventory Visibility: Ensuring customers received real-time stock updates and contract-specific pricing.
  • Enhanced Sales Efficiency: Equipping sales agents with a centralized platform for quoting and order management.
  • Scalable Implementation: Rolling out the platform in phases, starting with their most valuable customers before expanding adoption through self-service tools and training resources.

Sana Commerce stood out because of its out-of-the-box functionality and tight connection with Business Central, making pricing, product assortments, and order availability seamless.

The results

Streamlining operations and boosting growth

With Sana Commerce Cloud, Attach2 launched an MVP web store in just three weeks, quickly realizing value from the platform and setting the foundation for long-term digital growth. This rapid implementation not only minimized delays but also demonstrated the power of starting with an MVP to drive immediate value. Let’s take a look at some other key results:

21.1 Hours Saved Monthly

The automation of quoting, order processing, and customer inquiries freed up the customer support team to focus on more strategic tasks. Previously, these tasks consumed substantial time due to manual processes.

Enhanced Customer Confidence

Real-time visibility of product availability, particularly for assembly components, gave customers the assurance they needed to place orders without hesitation.

Phased Adoption Success

By starting with eight key customers, Attach2 was able to refine its onboarding process before scaling to smaller accounts. The use of video-based training further accelerated adoption, particularly for customers with smaller teams.

Improved Operational Efficiency

By transitioning 6.9%% of order inquiries, freight requests, and quotes to the web store, Attach2 reduced the workload on its customer service team and minimized errors.

Scalability for Future Growth

The success of the web store enabled Attach2 to consider larger markets and new contracts, using the platform as a value-added proposition during negotiations.

The platform has transformed our online sales process, allowing customers to self-serve while reducing manual order handling for our team

This feature addressed Attach2’s need for precision and transparency in managing its complex pricing structures and stock levels, directly tied to its Microsoft Dynamics Business Central ERP.
