Complex resources, like equipment parts content, often create challenges for manufacturers.
Regardless if you are a manufacturer in the industrial, agricultural, construction, or mining arena, driving demand, particularly online, is essential for long-term growth. In fact, many manufacturers are beginning to recognize that an online strategy is a driving force to obtain a wide-spread audience and customer base. With heavy equipment online purchasing becoming more common, manufacturers are no longer restricted to selling within their regional sectors of the U.S. They can now distribute their machines globally with a click of a button.
Despite these expansions, a common concern when kicking off an online strategy is how to manage all of the content associated with the machines. As an example, when a farmer needs to replace a part on his or her machine – how can they identify the part accurately if the manual they keep under their seat is no longer valid and the manufacturer doesn’t have the information readily available online? They don’t. What happens is that the machine sits idle for a lengthy period – causing delays in production and income — making content management a number one priority for manufacturers to keep customers engaged with their products and services.
Several of our customers, like Fecon, Paladin, and Atlas Copco, have overcome their content challenges with the help of Documoto’s Authoring, Cloud Library, and Storefront solutions.
