“Our customers have embraced the digital commerce portal that we launched on the Agilis platform. Within a year, we have seen significant growth in sales, an increase in repeat orders, and a substantial improvement in sales efficiency – thanks to the self-service features of the Agilis portal.“
"We launched our digital commerce portal with multi-language capabilities in just 8 weeks! The Agilis platform is truly designed and built for the chemical industry, and we needed very little customization to launch our portal. The user experience is really elegant, with intuitive tabs and workflows."
“We have been working with Agilis for more than three years, and from day one, the Agilis team has given us their full support. From setting up the portal, through the launch, and in our day-to-day operations, the platform is very easy to use and navigate. Our customers like the intuitive product search and the order placement process. And we like the usability of the platform to easily manage the whole order process.”
“With the Agilis portal, we can reach more customers and the structured approach of the Agilis team helped us to get the new portal up and running with a great design and up-to-date product information - a major step forward compared to our old solution. The new portal helps us to fulfill our mission of not just selling quality chemicals but also partnering with our customers’ facility management staff to help them solve maintenance problems with “greener” solutions.
“Using the Agilis platform, our customers can research our products and review their applications and specs – all from the convenience of their own desks. The speed and quality of the Agilis team to get the portal up and running is amazing and we are happy with the number and quality of leads that are coming in.”
“Using the Agilis platform makes it easier for our customers from around the globe to learn about our brand, extensive TPU portfolio, find the products they need, and instantly connect with our sales teams. The Agilis helped us to set up the new portal in less than eight weeks with minimal distraction from our business. The increased visibility of our brand and portfolio through SEO-optimized product profiles helps with the continued global expansion of our business and finding new leads early in the qualification process.”
"I was introduced to Agilis as a single buying platform for procurement of raw materials used in our manufacturing operations. With Agilis platform, I have been the beneficiary of efficiency in ordering materials, faster response times to my requests from the suppliers, and over 10% savings on some key materials. Agilis is the future, and I highly recommend it."
