Are you ready to hear how top manufacturers kicked off their digital transformation efforts with Tacton at our Smart Commerce Summit?
Transformation is the talk of the industry as we navigate a new way of working in the past year. That’s why we’re hosting our annual Smart Commerce Online Summit Thursday, May 6, 2021, 15:30 PM – 17:00 PM CET | 08:30 AM – 10:00 AM CDT. We’re talking with some of our partners and customers on hot topics across the manufacturing industry. With all this excitement around the event, we wanted to give you a primer on what we’re talking about and a preview of our guest speakers!
What to expect at the Smart Commerce Summit
We’ve learned a lot of lessons from the last year of new challenges and hurdles. Digital transformation was on the to-do list for many manufacturers but was quickly accelerated. Just how quickly has it accelerated? When we asked manufacturers about the transformation efforts they noted:
With just about 30% of respondents noting that they have accelerated efforts, it’s time to weigh your options for long-term success and sustainability. As one respondent noted, “It is all about customer experience in our industry, we need to make it easy for the next generation of entrepreneurs. We need to create value together with our customers and partners.” With that in mind, we wanted to bring a new panel of guests together to discuss the changes they’ve seen and where they’re heading in 2021 and beyond.
