An ever-increasing number of customers want to custom-adapt products and services to the greatest extent possible – in just a few clicks and from anywhere 24/7. Online configurators and comprehensive networked platforms are on the best path to becoming the sales standard.
However, the increasing volume of data as well as strict data protection regulations make it increasingly difficult for companies to be able to provide the right information in every situation and in real time. Yet that's just what "Customer 4.0" expects.
Together with you and customer experience experts from MHP & SAP, we would like to expand some horizons and take a look ahead at what's coming. In an open and inspiring workshop atmosphere, we'll prepare you to offer your customers a modern, appealing purchasing and service experience.
Here, you can take a look at the agenda (subject to changes) to get an initial workshop impression on the topic of variant configuration.
