Group SOCODA is a large network of more than 200 independent distributors in construction and industries.
The COVID health crisis revealed the urgent need for the SOCODA Group to go digital. The network of distributors operated on traditional business models, but ideally wanted a direct digital interface with their customers to give them access to their product catalog, prices and stock. They also wanted to be able to create shopping baskets and personalized quotations.
With the DJUST B2B ecommerce solution, all independent distributors can launch an e-shop faster built for B2B needs, while they can design and compose their online shop as they see fit for their products and customers. As logistics remain a difficult challenge for distributors, the DJUST solution is also deployed on a new stock pooling tool.
This means that there will be no centralized SOCODA platform in the physical sense. This pooling of virtual stock allows each distributor to view the stocks of other distributors in the network to obtain supplies.
With a virtual central stock, the distributor has an extremely broad supply capacity, with colleagues, alliances or suppliers. The objective is to achieve the best result for the customer more quickly without losing the value of the network.
“ We needed a B2B expert who could offer a flexible solution that can grow and build with us. Someone who thinks out of the box. With a more traditional solution vendor, it was not possible ”
Thanks to flexible, modern and personalized tools, the Socoda network can now digitize more quickly and respond to the specific needs of its customers, while maintaining close contact with them. SOCODA opted for the DJUST solution in order to provide a turnkey platform to their members who wish to launch their B2B e-shop and gain greater visibility of data and productivity.
“ DJUST understands our mindset, our challenges and it allows us to have a real partnership today.”
