Interstates gains efficient solution with Online Shop

Endress+Hauser's digital tools simplify processes and save company a week in man hours

Interstates was looking for an efficient way to streamline its specification and purchasing process, as manually entering and tracking orders had become inefficient and time consuming for the company and its customers. Endress+Hauser’s Online Shop helped simplify the process, providing the company a return on investment of one week of man hours and two-to-three hours per device type on each order.

Overcoming the challenge

The manual labor of entering and tracking orders presented numerous challenges as there were multiple steps in each stage of the process. The manual process involved multiple sources and personnel which created a barrier of visibility between those working on a project. The project’s internal and external communication via email and phone prompted delays in response time, increased labor cost, inefficient time usage and greater chances for error.

Breaking the barrier

Interstates representatives knew they needed an efficient solution that simplified the process, making it easier for the procurement part of their business. They also wanted a solution that could increase visibility while providing real-time data and metrics.
