INDUSTRY OVERVIEW


CROMPTON GREAVES/ABB/BHARAT BIJLEE/SIEMENS/GE

All are selling motors, pumps, drives, starters online on “industrybuying.com”

“Snapdeal.com” too has pumps, washing machines, motors from some of the brands. Very limited SKUs

These are sold by distributors/retailers and not directly by the companies on the popular marketplaces like flipkart and snapdeal

Most of the questions asked and reviews given on the e-commerce marketplaces are by individual buyers.

No complaints were noted due to delivery problems or logistics issues which shows that delivery and logistics are not a problem

There is a constant problem regarding suitability of product for the specific customer needs which gives rise to multiple questions and negative reviews in case of underperformance due to wrong purchases

It is also noted that sellers of branded products online try to get the customer to purchase directly from retailer personnel or distributor website by sharing these details as an answer to customer queries

The entire range of products is not available online on these third party platforms.

Difficult to find motor of right specifications since filters on these platforms do not give motor parameter filtering options.

Most of the questions asked on these platforms are about specifications as the user is not able to get all his doubts cleared from the specifications shared online.

Authenticity of products is questionable as some of the questions asked by prospective buyers are about authenticity

STANDARD MOTOR CONSUMERS CHANNEL PREFERENCE

Large Corporate Houses, OEMs and Contract Purchasers•Will prefer one on one interaction during the buying cycle• Large volume purchases more bargaining, more discounts• Low probability of using e-channel to place order

Distributors• Want to deal with the company sales department directly for purchase• Would like to have a e-channel to track order, get more details about products, etc.• Would not mind if Siemens were to create an e-marketplace for them to sell online

Individual Buyers and Small Distributors/Retailers• E-Commerce friendly- OUR TARGET CUSTOMER• Small Amount Purchases Low Volumes Need Best Price Assurance• Purchase online if present in remote locations and no direct contact with distributor

Independent Exchange Consortia Based Exchange Private Exchange

Allow distributors to sell on independent platforms to

increase volume sales

Create a private platform for distributors to manage and

track sales, monitor inventory. Eventually give buying options

on this platform

Do not go for Consortia Based Exchange

Focus on improving service to distributors by empowering them with smart e-tools for a better purchase experience

Provide a marketplace to small retailers and individual consumers to buy at the best price from the distributors

Advantages

Standardization of order prices and monitoring of distributors

Electronic Invoicing

Distributor Scorecards

Sharing of Engineering Documents

Logistics Planning Made

Easier

Online quoting of orders, price

negotiation cycle time reduced significantly
