Challenge

Overcoming data chaos and outdated B2B interactions

Eberspächer encountered significant hurdles due to its scattered product data and an outdated customer service approach, heavily dependent on print catalogs. This reliance on traditional methods not only slowed down the introduction of new products but also made the warranty claim process laborious and inefficient.

Additionally, the absence of a digital platform for business-to-business (B2B) interactions severely limited the company’s ability to provide prompt and effective customer service. Plus: It also prevented Eberspächer from gaining crucial insights through lead tracking. The need for a modern solution to streamline these processes and enhance the overall customer experience was clear and urgent.

Eberspächer introduces innovative B2B self-service portal

Solution

Pioneering PIM/DAM platform and B2B portal

The solution proposed by Salzburg-based digital agency elements: a unified PIM/DAM platform capable of managing product data for 10,000 products and more than 36,000 media assets. The system was also designed to support multiple languages – 31 to be exact! – thereby accommodating Eberspächer’s diverse global market. 

In addition, elements also helped Eberspächer launch a fully Pimcore-based, user-friendly B2B self-service and commerce portal. Using this digital dealer portal, partners can now quickly find products, create customized quotes, and manage warranty claims online. This digital transformation not only streamlined Eberspächer’s sales and service workflows but also greatly improved the efficiency and quality of interactions between Eberspächer and its global partners.
