Navigating the Intricate Channels of B2B Automotive

United Pacific Industries, a leader in the automotive parts sector for over four decades, faces many challenges in the dynamic landscape of B2B commerce. With over 20,000 SKUs and a diverse clientele spanning international markets and catering to commercial truck enterprises, United Pacific Industries complexities are as vast as the open road.

For a deeper understanding of United Pacific’s operations, click to open the sections below and explore the specific channel and product complexities they face.

Pricing Dynamics

B2B pricing isn’t a one-size-fits-all for United Pacific Industries. Dealing with various manufacturers means diverse pricing structures. Each customer receives a personalized price based on various factors.

Handling Product Attributes

United Pacific Industries faced challenges managing products with multiple attributes, such as color variations. This called for a platform that could streamline attribute customization, providing a user-friendly display.

Customization Options

While customers can customize some products on the web store, it adds complexity to inventory management and order fulfillment. Balancing customization for engagement without creating chaos is key.

Displaying Product Components

Displaying product components and detailed technical drawings on the web store is tricky. Offering comprehensive product information boosts confidence in buyers but presents technical and design challenges.

Ensuring Smooth Shopping

With a catalog of 20,000 SKUs, United Pacific Industries requires a web store with user-friendly navigation. Advanced search features and easy-to-use interfaces are must-haves for customers to find what they need hassle-free.

The challenge

Striving for Efficiency and Adaptability

United Pacific Industries set out to simplify their B2B operations, aiming to boost efficiency and elevate customer service. Their traditional manual order system proved tedious and prone to errors, prompting the search for a more streamlined solution. Realizing the limitations of mainstream e-commerce platforms, they looked for a vendor who could adapt to their unique needs.

Their quest brought them to Sana Commerce, a solution that caught their attention not only for its robust features and B2B expertise but also for the people behind it—individuals who were eager to listen, comprehend, and devise tailored solutions to address their specific challenges.

“Sana’s willingness to listen to our needs, understand our problems, and offer tailored solutions that benefit our customers sets them apart. Without genuine collaboration and understanding, projects often fall short of expectations.”

Discovering the right fit: From Magento to Sana Commerce

After evaluating numerous e-commerce solutions, United Pacific Industries stumbled upon Sana Commerce based on recommendations from industry peers. Frustrations with Magento prompted them to explore alternatives, and Sana Commerce emerged as the right solution for their complex B2B needs.

Key features like the pricing tool and attribute display played a pivotal role in their decision-making process, offering cost-effective solutions and seamless integration from Microsoft Dynamics to the front end.

In their pursuit of a better B2B digital commerce platform, three primary goals came to light:

Improved Customer Experience: Enhancing the overall customer experience became a top priority. They aimed to provide customers with a seamless and user-friendly interface, making it effortless to browse products, place orders, and access personalized pricing information.
Efficient Integration and Migration: United Pacific Industries aimed for seamless integration and migration from Magento to Sana Commerce, aiming to minimize disruption to their operations and ensure a smooth transition for both staff and customers.

By homing in on these objectives, United Pacific Industries aimed to optimize their operations, fortify customer relationships, and position themselves for long-term success.

“Sana’s comprehensive IT support, from developers to regular assistance, was a game-changer for us. When comparing platforms, it was a no-brainer – Sana offered a superior support system tailored to our needs, leveraging our product database in Microsoft Dynamics.”
