PROPOSAL FOR SAGA COMMERCE

Lukas is not the exception. Buyers still leave the webshop to finish the order.

02 PROBLEM

This is the problem

The webshop was built for browsing. Reordering, approvals and checks still happen by hand.

The 1 problem under the others

Everything else on this page is downstream of this one.

We keep pulling buyers to our platform, when they already order by phone, email and chat somewhere else.

The problems, by priority

What stops buyers like Lukas. The next page answers each one.

  1. P0

    Screen-and-catalog fails

    Buyers leave the webshop at the moments that matter and finish the order by phone or email.

  2. P0

    Data isn’t trusted

    Unclear stock and delivery dates make buyers abandon. They want their agreed prices shown, not list prices.

  3. P1

    Repeat orders start from zero

    Buyers want to reorder online, and the webshop makes them search for the same parts every time.

  4. P1

    Many people per order

    Requester, approver and finance each need their own view of the same order.

  5. P2

    No data for personalisation

    Most sellers have no integrated data, so nothing on the webshop is personal to the buyer.

  6. P2

    Search fails on part numbers

    Cross-references and spec filters are thin. A buyer with a part number still has to browse.

THE RULE FOR EVERY AGENT

1 wrong order can lose the account

So trust is built in from the start, not added later. Every agent works under the buyer’s rules, shows where each number comes from and can be undone.
