The distributor's guide to ecommerce replatforming

Ecommerce

Feeling frustrated, unhappy or overwhelmed with your current ecommerce platform?

You're not alone. Some B2B experts report the rate of failure for initial ecommerce projects is somewhere between 75-85%. 

For many distributors the second time's the charm. But it's not always easy to know how to approach finding a new platform. And frankly, it can seem like a burdensome task. That's what we're here for. We've put together a replatforming guide you can use to help shape your strategy and ensure you avoid the potholes you hit the first time around. 

Download the guide now to learn how to:

  • Determine the right time to replatform
  • Start creating your replatforming strategy
  • How to choose the right platform for your needs
  • Determine which provider is right for you 

Plus, get an inside look at how three distributors successfully replatformed to get more out of ecommerce. 

  • Our previous system was just an access point to our ERP. It didn't make sense to our customers. They were signing up but then never using the site. They were telling us they had needs that the current solution couldn't meet. We needed a solution that was for the customer; an outside-in view, if you will.

    Director of Ebusiness The Granite Group

  • With no SEO built into our previous website, customers were not able to find us unless we created a direct shortcut to the website for them. If we measure our success with Insite on how we have made our clients' lives easier to procure parts, I think we've succeeded on a massive scale.

    Information Technology Director Macpek

  • The flexibility with the Episerver platform versus the Infor platform, which was the storefront we were on previously, allows us to do ecommerce the way we want to do business. We don't have to conform to someone else's rigid box.
