Project divided in 4 phases.

The first two phases assessed maturity and needs regarding digitized interactions and analyzed options to boost digital practices supporting the target segments. Key steps involved:

1. Collection of internal needs and objectives, with 23 internal interviews
2. Voice of distributors and Voice of customer, with 250+ survey answers and 50+ interviews (with distributors, end-customers and competitors)
3. External benchmark to assess distributor interfaces (B2B2C ecommerce schemes)
4. Identification of key features across multiple support areas based on overall perceived importance for target customer segments
5. Cost-benefit analyses and prioritization of features

The third phase framed the prioritized solution (a B2B e-commerce platform) and supported the company with identifying the best choices to build it.

• Collection & categorization of available data per pilot, feature and dataset
• usability assessment (quality, completeness, easiness to access and connectability)
• Gap analysis (feature feasibility & recommendations)

Construction of the development & deployment plan

Full support in RFP process to select vendor for the development of the platform

• Identification of potential participants
• Proposition of evaluation grid
• Point of contact throughout the RFP process
