The B2B Portal Challenge on Socrate
SocrateWeb = functional client portal (text catalog + orders + status), but with 2018-style UX. Lacks AI personalisation, modern Doc Hub, KAM chat, and AI upsell capabilities.
Distributor with 120 active B2B clients:
58% of orders placed via email/phone (portal bypassed).
KAMs spend 4-5h/day on status calls = €188k/year in efficiency costs.
5-7% lost orders (clients cannot find the product).
B2B NPS of 30, churn rate 14-19%.
Zero automated upselling.
