The Baumann group is collaborating with GO-2B, a software specialist for product data management, to introduce a new digital sales manual called FurniMobile. The manual will be launched at an in-house exhibition in September for the Bauformat and Burger kitchen brands. The aim of FurniMobile is to reduce paper consumption and provide better customization to meet the needs of trading partners. It will be compatible with the content management system FurniData and the Winner kitchen planning software from Compusoft. The digital sales manual offers several advantages, such as being platform-independent and plugin-free, providing additional information like videos and suitable accessories, and avoiding configuration errors by connecting to up-to-date product data. Dealers can advise more precisely and customers can benefit from more information during the planning phase. Detailed information and training courses will be provided in the future.
Efficiency and Sustainability of The Baumann
Moreover, FurniMobile is a more efficient and sustainable way of working, which aligns with the overarching goal of opening up new sales and planning opportunities for trading partners. Dennis Bischoff, Marketing Manager of the Baumann group, is enthusiastic about the expansion of the cooperation with GO-2B, emphasizing that the launch of FurniMobile is another significant step for the company in reducing paper consumption and conserving natural resources.
Sales Flexibility of The Baumann
The digital sales manual is designed to offer more customization options, such as calculations and filtering functions, which can be adapted to the needs of trading partners. This means that dealers can provide more precise and faster advice, leading to more effective outcomes.
The new digital manual is platform-independent and plugin-free, which makes it easy to transport, and allows for the addition of more information such as videos, suitable accessories for upselling, or a dynamic delivery time query. Additionally, it can be used with other planning systems besides Winner.
Hermann Balke, CEO of GO-2B, explains that FurniMobile has significantly more content than the paper version, but is much easier to transport and offers more features that improve the customer experience. The search function is much more convenient and replaces tedious scrolling, and the connection to product data that is always up-to-date avoids configuration errors.
FurniMobile is a significant step towards achieving the Baumann group’s goal of providing sustainable and efficient solutions for their trading partners. By reducing paper consumption and providing more customization options, the digital sales manual opens up new sales and planning opportunities. Dealers can advise more precisely, and customers can benefit from more information during the planning phase.
