Technology evolution
Sourcing the right partsfor your
wind turbines
can be
cumbersome and
time consuming
No single provider for your multiple-brand fleet.
No possibility to leverage economies of scale.
Lack of pricing transparency. Limited
information on available stock. Challenges in
identifying the right parts, substitutions &
replacement. Constrained by opening hours
and account management
eCommerce in a global contextVestas are facing the same macro trends for digitalization as other companies. And customers has high expectations!
10
Age of customer and rising expectations
Empowered buyers dominate the market and they demand a new level of
customer obsession. https://www.forrester.com/report/Winning+In+The+Age+Of+The+Customer/-/E-RES119546
Meet the customers expectations
Even before an experience begins, customers have expectations. Tapping
into the emotions and patters of anticipation can help shape the entire
customer experience through out the ecosystem. https://www.forrester.com/report/The+Dawn+Of+Anticipatory+CX/-/E-RES134741
Adopting B2C principles
B2B eCommerce is growing rapidly with an expected $1.13 trillion by 2020
in the US. To achieve breakthrough, B2B must adopt proven B2C
principles.https://www.forrester.com/report/B2C+Sets+The+Standard+For+B2B/-/E-RES61686B2
Omnichannel commerce
Omnichannel customers are more likely to become repeat and long-term
customers. Omnichannel customers spend up to 14 times more than single-
channel customers.https://www.forrester.com/report/The+Case+For+Omnichannel+B2B/-/E-RES93421
Expert assistance and customer service
B2B buyers want skilled consultants for high-consideration purchase
scenarios. On average, 19% of purchases are complex and with online
expert support, the cost-per-interaction can be reduced vastly.https://www.forrester.com/report/Death+Of+A+B2B+Salesman+Two+Years+Later/-/E-
RES126861
Self-service & Automated Sales Experiences
Use digital self-service for pre-sales research and to make low- and
medium-consideration purchases. On average, 68% are simple purchases,
costing less when supported online.https://www.forrester.com/report/Death+Of+A+B2B+Salesman+Two+Years+Later/-/E-
