StoneAge wanted to make their product and technology offerings simpler and more accessible for digitally-savvy, end-user customers. Industrial cleaning professionals need simple sign-on access and the ability to quickly research products, access technical information, arrange rentals, get quotes, and manage their accounts while planning their time-sensitive and complex high-pressure cleaning jobs. Delivering automated industrial cleaning solutions with such granular complexities requires careful planning across departments and new ways of working.
StoneAge and Xngage jointly worked on a prioritized digital strategy and roadmap to fortify the Digital Experience Project (DXP) for their customers. The team then leveraged stakeholder and User Experience (UX) surveys to understand and translate the customer’s buying journey into website features and functionality. With a review of the technology ecosystem, StoneAge used their existing ERP system and added the Optimizely B2B Commerce platform as the centralized digital hub for all customer touchpoints. Xngage also delivered a highly optimized interactive design leveraging these new technical capabilities and building a tailored digital experience to support complex customer requirements.
The DXP Center of Excellence was born when StoneAge and Xngage team members collaborated and then grew into an agile, integrated, high-performing digital team. The new websites for StoneAge Tools and Warthog Nozzles were launched – a quantum leap in functionality, both for customers and internal teams. Now, customers have real-time, self-service access to their account dashboard with more data points – product resources, price lists, order information, training courses, account management, and reporting about equipment performance – through a single login.
According to Mikaela Larkin, Director of Strategic Initiatives, “The digital transformation initiative enables us to meet the increasing demand for online interactions and makes it easier for customers to do business with us. The new websites enhance the customer’s buying journey, improve technical support, and drive internal efficiencies. Xngage's partnership enables us to develop digital capabilities that help our customers to complete their jobs safely, easily, on-time, and on budget.”
