Business customers are unique. Buyers are looking for products or information that meet distinct criteria, and these criteria can be expressed in the form of a part number, product specifications, or even the end application. And no two buyers look for a product using the same terms and methods.
The challenge for B2B Web sites is to deliver an experience that mirrors the service delivered by your call centers, account mangers, and paper catalogs. Customers must be able to find the right products, based on their own criteria, and the Web site must be able to adapt to the methods of each individual customer. This is a significant challenge, given the large volume of products, product attributes, and Web site traffic that most B2B online catalogs must support.

The solution integrates Search, Guided Navigation, Merchandising, and Custom Catalog capabilities to deliver a personalized catalog experience to each customer. The ability to deliver this unique experience is why industry leaders such as Arrow Electronics, Fastenal, and CDW have chosen Endeca to power their online catalogs.
