Our Distributor Business Mobile Apps Package 

Your distribution network is vast and the retailers within your market territories deal every day with your competition. So peripheral support services and the delivery of successful and dynamically updated regional product lines is key to setting you apart. Under most circumstances, distributors can only work with whatever data the manufacturer provides or any additional data its client's customers offer up via voluntary interaction with your website.
Our Distributors App package is designed to offer multiple streams of client data for your distribution business - clear and precise information such as which products are preferred by which tier group, when and where these products were tagged for more information, etc. Our Distributors App package features...

• A branded presence in the appropriate app stores with new mobile market SEO benefits
• A new talking piece and visual imagery for your distributor site and newsletter
• A QR reader that has been optimized for quick business and/or product profile info

Good news for B2B Distributors Challenge

B2B Distributors Acting Like B2C

One of the challenges we hear over and over again from our distributor clients is the impact that they are feeling from the growth of the Mobile presence of their large competitors. The gains that major distributors are experiencing in their online/mobile  enabled business is significant. If you compete against the big guys, such as Grainger, Staples, CDW, or Amazon; then you cannot help but notice the continued improvement in their web sites and online ordering systems. The lines between retail consumer and business consumer are blurring because the business consumer is expecting experiences that are more personal. Those retail buyers are also wholesale buyers during the day. The major B2B distributors are creating compelling Internet content and experiences that more closely resemble the web sites of their B2C counterparts so that their consumer has a better experience.
 So, before you put your hands up and surrender to the fact that you will never be able to compete...read on.

What can you do to make your Internet presence meet the needs of the new consumer?

 First, you have to recognize and understand the needs of your current and future customers. We are fast approaching the point in which most consumers of business related products will have been born with a smart phone in their crib. This makes a huge difference in the communication and interaction preferences of these new consumers, whether they are retail or wholesale-focused. While we don't believe that face-to-face communication will go away in our lifetime, we do believe and see evidence that a significant level of purchasing communication will be done through the web and smart devices. Let's quickly list and not dwell on the 

Bad news for distributors:

1. Investment in different communication avenues can be expensive.
2. Developing personalized content takes time and effort.
3. Outside sales forces will become less relevant on a daily basis.
4. Customers will expect "almost" instant access to customer support services.

Now for the good news:

1. Building a mobile application may boost sales revenue and customer satisfaction.
2. Conducting business through the Mobile is less expensive than traditional avenues.
3. Allowing customers access to critical business information via their smart phones will differentiate your business today.
4. A Mobile App catalog is exponentially cheaper to produce and edit than a print catalog.
5. There are product configurators that will allow customers to build their own quotes and orders.
6. Multi-language sites are easier than ever to build and automatically maintain.
7. Differentiating between current customers and visitors can be translated into the ability to give each consumer a particular eCommerce look and feel.
8. A strong Mobile App store can expand a distributor's geographic reach.

How Can Distribution Apps Grow Your Global Distribution Business?

Imagine you are the Chief Marketing Officer at a global distribution business.

Your company’s market share is increasing, new sales reps are being hired on and new offices are popping up around the globe.

Business is booming, and your boss is happy.

Now you have to deliver on your set marketing goals with a larger team in more languages and growing corporate expectation.

How do you manage it?

This is a common fear we hear from many growing companies who look at iPad Distribution apps as a mobile solution. They are so focused on their ability to produce on the now that they spend little time planning how they will sustain their growth over time.

More importantly, if the sales tools they have in place will accomplish their corporate goals.

Growing too big to sustain success can leave you asking these questions:

• How do I engage all of my distributors?
• How do I deliver new product information to them?
• How do I measure what collateral I produce is selling product?

These are difficult questions for any marketer at a growing company.

While each company’s situation is different, sales apps just might not be in the cards. Costs, iPad and distributor app adoption, training, deployment, adding new features… the list goes on what you can expect when rolling out a new sales app for a global distribution business.

While these Distributor app factors can scare a global distribution business from pulling the trigger, there are the immediate benefits from implementation.

Distributor apps are a fast and easy way to streamline product information, pricing and marketing collateral to keeps a growing sales force in check. They can also deliver on a number of other “operational” systems to get your global distribution business growing out to market quicker.

Ease the Management of Distributing Collateral Faster

Getting updated collateral of any file type to your reps around the globe can seem daunting.

Rich media like HTML 5 won’t always go through an email, and who’s to say the rep will even check their email before going into their next product demo. Sales apps allow you to quickly manage your files with drag and drop ease.

A well developed app comes with its own content management system to keep collateral updated fast. And the app would handle multiple file types like PDFs, videos, PowerPoints, Excel sheets, CADs, and much more.

A thing you will need to consider is if your reps are using Wi-Fi only iPads, whether the app allows for offline access to those collateral files.

Otherwise, your rep is hosed with an app that is only driven by Internet access and no access to be found.

Capture Key Global Data Points for Accurate Marketing Decisions Faster

It’s a very lonely feeling to stand in a board room in front of all of your C-level officers when they ask for key data points you were unable to capture.

Or if you’re still waiting for data to come in from a certain region of the world. You need key data points without waiting.

Many Distributor  apps are already equipped with a back end analytics that capture important measurable data. CRM integration with the sales app allows you to sync touch points and key moments in the sales process back into Salesforce.com, Microsoft Dynamics, or whatever system you use.

That’s huge when looking at which new global markets are growing fastest. Any new leads a rep captures in the app can be automatically dropped into your marketing automation system to let lead nurturing begin immediately.

Most importantly, all of your data is secured!

Offer Engaging International Customer Experience and Support Faster

Collateral on a mobile device is only good to clients standing in front of your iPad if you can’t share it. Especially if your customers are international.

To ensure you’re not repeating the same work repackaging your marketing collateral in different languages, look to use a sales app with multi-language and currency converter capabilities. 

This way the sales app should have the ability to send branded emails loaded with collateral and pricing quotes in the correct language. If the customer has a specific question, the app should allow for searching within documents to ensure the right information is passed along.

Distribution Mobile  Apps Can Grow Your Global Distribution Business Faster

Winston Churchill once said, “For the first 25 years of my life I wanted freedom. For the next 25 years I wanted order. For the next 25 years I realized that order is freedom.” That’s exactly how a sales app can help grow your global distribution business faster.

The appropriate sales app can free you up to watch your global distribution business grow quickly rather than work in it.

A Mobility Strategy for Distribution Business The term, “mobility,” applies to any portable electronic device – smartphone, handheld tablet, forklift-mounted tablet, laptop, electronic onboard recording device, electronic notepad, etc. – that transfers data from one location to another via the Internet, cellular network or wireless (Wi-Fi) connection. The need for a mobility strategy emerges once you realize just how many mobile software and technology solutions exist for the workplace! Which ones to purchase, which ones will integrate easily with each other and with your overall business system – that is where the need for a mobile strategy really comes in. You will need to take the time to create an effective strategy to get the most out of your investment in mobile technology, either on your own or with the assistance of technology consultants such as the company that provides your business software system, such as ERP. Obviously you don’t want to get left behind as your competitors put their own mobile strategies into play, improving their customer service and raising retention rates and new customer wins!
