Simplifying the Move to B2B2C for Manufacturers

The global COVID-19 pandemic has hit manufacturers particularly hard—and forced many to critically reexamine whether they have the right business model. Many manufacturers have fast-tracked their plans to expand or pivot to a B2B2C model. Traditional B2B models are limiting to manufacturers because they don’t have a complete view of the customer lifecycle. Lack of visibility to the end customer, product usage, and demand insights leaves manufacturers unable to offer the proactive and personalized experiences that customers are now asking for and expecting. But manufacturers that adopt a B2B2C sales model take on a more integrated—and integral—role in cultivating and maintaining customer relationships.
