Technology Leader Panel:
How Tech Elevates Customer Experience and Personalization

On-Demand

Business buyers appreciate it when suppliers make it easy to do business with them. Your customers want an efficient, relevant and productive experience. 

A great customer experience isn’t a nice-to-have. It’s a must. Research proves that there’s a correlation between how customers rate their supplier experiences and their likelihood of buying more – and more often. And that translates into increased profitability. 

Watch now to learn about the technology that can enable a better customer experience both offline and online. AI, machine learning, mobile platforms, ecommerce and more are transforming the landscape, making it easier than ever for distributors to add a personal touch to every interaction – no matter the channel. 

How will you create a real connection with your buyers in 2024 and beyond? This is a can’t-miss program for executives who are mapping out the next frontier in their digital journey.
