The Cloudfy Approach
Tomy selected Cloudfy Enterprise as part of a competitive RFP process. The combination of Cloudfy’s B2B ecommerce cloud architecture, prebuilt SAP ECC integration and a modern UX provided the perfect solution for Tomy to maintain and grow their B2B ecommerce business. Cloudfy provided the scalability to add additional sales regions and futureproofed the build with the potential to add more SAP integrations including SAP S/4HANA.
Improved Customer Experience
Above all, Cloudfy worked to deliver a seamless customer experience, migrating from the existing platform onto Cloudfy while enhancing the functionality available to Tomy customers. The Cloudfy user interface, built up over thousands of hours of user testing, provides a fast, efficient and intuitive experience to Tomy customers. Features like multi-user login, quick order, real time inventory and order templates all support improved customer order conversion rates.
