Challenge

Serving B2B clients

The Centaur vision is to leverage their passion for the sound Veterinary business practices, creating value added services for their clients while continuing to improve their current supplies distribution business. 

Solution

Delivering an enhanced experience

Centaur partnered with XCentium to implement the leading B2B eCommerce software, InsiteCommerce. We were involved in designing the website with Centaur team which resulted in a website with heavy lifting on their client facing CMS and B2B eCommerce portal. This partnership resulted in a modern refresh of the current website’s look and feel, which will attract new customers and retain existing ones.

Outcome

Unifying core business systems to deliver results

Insite’s powerful Commerce Engine fuels Centaur’s B2B eCommerce capabilities, giving them digital capabilities to run their entire business online, with automatic scalability in the cloud. As part of the integration, XCentium created content templates in various areas of the website to ensure easy updating of marketing and promotions, in real-time. 

Centaur Services’ company mission is clear: to help their customers’ businesses grow and prosper. Key to this is providing exceptional service that allows the veterinary practices they work with to run as smoothly, efficiently and profitably as possible. Centaur Services has combined over 50 years’ knowledge and experience with the latest innovative technology to create highly efficient stock management and delivery processes that ensures they provide exactly what their clients need, whenever and wherever they need it.

The Centaur vision is to leverage their passion for the sound Veterinary business practices, creating value added services for their clients while continuing to improve their current supplies distribution business. The Centaur B2B eCommerce Customer Portal was a major initiative to facilitate enabling their vision. The portal provides a platform to present new content and services for current and prospective customers, suppliers and future employees of Centaur.
