Getting Closer to the Customer in the Digital Age
Another essential piece of the intelligent commerce puzzle is customer experience.

However, enabling a superior customer experience truly hinges on how effective your business uses data to price and sell in all channels. For auto parts manufacturers and manufacturers from a variety of vertical industries, implementing a digital-first approach that is consistent with the traditional, in-person buying experience is complex and wrought with challenges.
