Customer Experience.
Within the age of digitization, where unique products are constantly on our radar, competition is growing and access to information is practically unlimited, one of the most valuable assets for companies becomes the customer. Keeping the existing customer base and attracting new customers is key. We could call this era “the age of the customer”. Being in this period means that customers have a variety of choice where to purchase their goods, so their commitment level to a company does not necessarily have to be as developed as it was in the past. Two main questions are “how do we retain our customer base?” and “how do we increase our customer base?”.
The answer is all about customer experience. Providing a top-class experience for the customer is the starting point for the successful transition from one-time customer to loyal customer. It is not only about a positive purchasing experience, it is also about providing the same level of experience over the whole customer lifecycle. Key for an outstanding CX is knowledge about the customer. All interactions have to be easily accessible, no matter where the interaction happens in the customer journey.

Integration into end-to-end process.
Although Customer Experience applications provide substantial value as standalone solutions, significant benefit also comes from the integration with core backend systems and other applications; these could be cloud based or on-premise.
Westernacher has a strong commitment to accompany our customers on the complete end-to-end journey. This mindset is key to our success.
The journey does not stop with the integration of Customer Experience into the logistics and financial processes, it also includes the idea of an end-to-end Digital Supply Chain, which includes planning, analytics, manufacturing, warehousing, transportation, as well as yard logistics processes.
Why cloud software?
Companies that run on SAP have become accustomed to the idea that they can adjust their systems to a very high degree. This is mainly done in order to suit specific needs that correspond to highly optimized processes e.g. in production or supply chain execution. On the other hand, cloud products offer standardized best practice processes to their customer and with that comes a shorter “time-to-value”. The implementation time gets reduced and with that the cost of the overall implementation.

Turn standardization
to your advantage
to your advantage
The faster the product can be used by the customers, the more standardization is needed. Imagine that the core of the software is not just used by you, but by other customers too and that makes it necessary that the core is not changed by any customer, but by the software vendor. This makes the core robust and enables the software vendor to roll out innovations at a much faster rate than was previously possible.
Standardization does not imply that adjustments are not possible. In fact, enhancements are possible via an extensibility framework, which safeguards the core of the software so that it remains unaffected.

Integration with SAP Cloud Platform.
In a cloud world we can’t just follow the behavior from the past, when it comes to integration and extensibility. In on-premise environments, it was already a wise decision to utilize modification-free enhancement options to adjust the system to your own needs and to use a multitude of existing interface options and techniques. The extensibility framework on SAP Cloud Platform enables you to extend agile cloud and on-premise applications, to optimize the business processes by integrating the whole IT landscape, as well as allowing you innovation by integration of digital applications, such as Internet-of-things and big data.
In a public cloud environment, the option to modify the core is not given, instead strong APIs are provided by the software vendor than can be utilized for integration and extensibility purpose.
Out-of-the-box integration
Utilize pre-packaged integration scenarios for the software vendor universe.
Open integration
It is important to have an open integration framework that supports a vendor agnostic cloud and on-premise systems integration.
Holistic integration
Most will think about integration of systems and processes, data integration should not be forgotten. Data should either be replicated, synchronized or centrally stored with the highest quality and consistency. Since experience matters, integration to the user is the most important factor. A unified UI experience over all kind of media, desktop computer and mobile devices is key. In a digital age, we have to integrate. Things to things, things to analytics and things to process.
