Lisa Farley, Head of Marketing EMEA commented: “Our teams at Schenck Process are continually finding new ways to digitalize, simplify and improve the experience our customers have when working with us. The launch of our e-commerce site for key components is the first milestone towards opening a new channel of digital interaction. Working in process-critical industries means that many of our clients need smarter methods to keep important components in stock and get hold of them quickly. We are now better enabling this without changing their invoicing process.” Frank Thomasberger, Director - Agents and Sales Locations EMEA, a key stakeholder in the site development said: “One of the key benefits for our customers will be the 24/7 availability of technical details, prices and finally offers. With the help of simple to use configurators for applications such as belt weighers, hopper weighing or just selecting the right control our customers will be able to get quotes within minutes; therefore making their buying process easier.” About Schenck Process Schenck Process is a leading global provider of sustainable products, integrated solutions, and services in mission-critical applications for bulk materials.
