Business Challenge
Recognizing the critical role their B2B site was playing in driving sales and educating customers about products, Affymetrix turned to AAXIS Commerce to develop a new commerce platform on ATG. Affymetrix needed a new commerce solution designed to improve the overall shopping experience, in an effort to drive more traffic, increase conversions and AOV, drive repeat purchases, and improve operational efficiency in customer service, as well as back-office processes.
