As a supplier of diagnostic imaging system parts, First Call Parts operates in a niche where customers have high requirements for speed and accuracy of order fulfillment.
To enhance the customer reach and customer experience, First Call Parts needed a B2B storefront that:
Allows customers to order replacement
parts at any time
Streamlines their ordering and delivery
processes
Provides smooth integration with their
existing software
First Call Parts selected Salesforce's B2B Commerce Cloud as their preferred e-commerce platform and hired Forte to realize this initiative. Together with the client, we built a digital storefront that improved buying experiences for First Call Parts' customers and streamlined daily operations for the company's sales team.
Intuitive product discovery. Parts are organized by brand / category and can be searched by name or SKU.
Smooth shopping process. Product details page with customer-specific pricing, product variations, part condition (refurbished, tested, used, or new), and form-to-request availability.
Flexible shipping options. Buyers can select the carrier (UPS, FedEx), use their existing carrier account, opt for escalated shipment, and see the estimated shipping cost.
Sales processes automation. Automated after-hours ordering, shipping arrangements, return merchandise authorization requests.
System integration. The new B2B Commerce store is integrated into the existing software ecosystem (Salesforce Sales Cloud, Fishbowl) with minimal impact on existing processes.
Created B2B Commerce portal that facilitates parts ordering for First Call Parts' customers and automates routine tasks for the company's sales reps.
