RV Pro announces that Accuride International has launched an online store to expand access to a wide range of its products to both B2B and B2C customers. Accuride’s move into e-commerce, initially available to U.S. and Canadian customers, aligns with a growing trend among B2B companies, including manufacturers. About 40 percent of manufacturers have an e-commerce site, and 69 percent of those that don’t expect to launch one within two years, according to a recent survey by B2BecNews.
According to a press release, a few examples of the users who will benefit include: An in-house design engineer who develops prototypes for various industries, from aerospace to automation to machinery to healthcare; A maintenance or facility manager seeking replacement parts;and an engineer who wants to test and validate customized products in early design stages, perhaps for an emergency vehicle or a data enclosure. "Our e-commerce channel enables us to close geographical distribution gaps, allowing customers to purchase a full assortment of specialty products, as well as popular slides, including undermount and heavy-duty options," says Sid Kalantar, senior VP of sales and marketing, in the press releease.
