Heller, a globally-active machine builder, digitalized its entire trade show campaign in just three months for the leading AMB trade show in Stuttgart. And they didn’t just do this any old way, but instead with a system – and with great success.
In hardly any other situation does a company make more interesting business contacts than at a trade show. This is why it is astonishing that these opportunities are often not truly exploited. Not so at Heller – for the leading trade show AMB, this machine builder digitalized and professionalized the entire trade show preparation and ‑follow-up.
All measures were attuned to one another and linked to one another. For this, Heller used the cloud-based solution SAP Hybris Cloud for Customer.
