Benefits to the Distributor
Ecreativeworks has the solution to support and improve the distributors’ online sales efforts! We work with the manufacturer to improve their distribution channel’s online exposure. This helps the distributor reach new qualified prospects. The Ecreativeworks Distributor Support Solution allows the manufacturers to syndicate their online catalog with their participating distributors. This syndication provides the distributor with a website populated with the product lines they carry that has the ability for ecommerce, public and private pricing and Request for Quote (RFQ) forms.
Ecreativeworks Distributor Support helps the distributor sell more of the manufacturer’s products as the product lines they carry are automatically updated on their website. We make providing the OEM catalog to distributors easy by creating an online version. This includes complete distribution of content, pricing, RFQ’s, and product configurators.
Ecreativeworks Distributor Support Allows the Distributor to:
- Access the manufacturers’ complete online catalog content. With Ecreativeworks’ Distributor Support solution, a participating distributor will have access to the product lines they specifically carry or the full catalog of the manufacturer. This will allow the distributors website to be updated as the manufacturer is adding new products or updating product specifications.
- Improve online exposure. By participating with the manufacturer in the Distributor Support Solution, the distributor can improve their online exposure as their website will grow in size and product offerings.
- Maintain existing industrial website design. We can maintain the look and feel of your distributor’s website design. By keeping the look and feel of their websites, the end user is able to navigate the syndicated catalog with ease.
- Protect customer relationships. Currently many distributors link to the manufacturer’s website for more product specifications. This potentially opens the door for lost sales. Product syndication will help distributors protect their customer relationships. When the manufacturer provides distributors with an updated web version of a product line or the catalog, all online links—RFQ, Contact Us, Buy Now—will remain on their website to prevent lost sales.
- Address online purchasing. One of the solutions Distributor Support offers addresses list price inquiries and customer pricing arrangements. By using private pricing, a protected password account will be set up for the distributor on the master website in order to receive discounted prices. A manufacturer can also provide the distributor with the ability to setup a password account for special customers on their own site.
- Streamline the RFQ Process. The Distributor Support Solution also streamlines the RFQ process. With syndication a manufacturer is able to provide distributors with an online catalog and product configurator for their website, their customers will be able to find the part they need with the correct dimensions and tolerances.
