The situation
The client, a leading construction equipment player in India, wanted to provide a seamless digital experience for its customer base which is not too conversant with digital technologies. The client was operating with too many manual processes which were increasing expenses for everyone involved.
Data sanity and synchronisation were the main challenges faced by the client due to the lack of real-time integration between systems. Manual execution of processes for all stakeholders resulted in a very high turnaround time. The lack of centralised client data management resulted in poor engagement and interaction with clients. Customers were interacting with dealers and the construction company offline and a single unified portal was missing.
Our client wanted to drive a more personalised and seamless e-commerce experience, intended to serve as a one-stop-shop for clients, customers, dealers as well as business stakeholders.
PwC’s role
In this digital transformation project, PwC took on the role of the system implementor. Our community of solvers provided subject matter expertise in business, experience, and technology consulting.
The team helped design and implement the user experience, a digital-first solution which streamlined processes for various internal and external stakeholders. PwC also established expertise and experience in all programme management related dimensions and delivered the desired business outcome. After going live with each phase, PwC provided ongoing support to assure project maintenance, scalability, and success.
The team analysed key personas, and envisioned experiences in line with their decision-making habits and purchase behaviours. From product comparisons to quote requests to machine servicing records and reminders, the platform had the customer at the centre from its inception.
