b2b2dot0 Saas eCommerce Solution Strengthens Customer Service Capabilities for Nordson’s EFD Division


Dr. Sam Bayer, Chief Executive Officer and Founder of b2b2dot0 (www.b2b2dot0.com) announced that the EFD division of Nordson Corporation (NASDAQ: NDSN) has strengthened its customer service capabilities through implementation of an SAP (News - Alert) Integrated B2B eCommerce pilot program developed by his company.


EFD is the world’s leading manufacturer of precision dispensing systems for applying controlled amounts of the adhesives, sealants, lubricants, and other assembly fluids used in almost every manufacturing process. Products include air-powered benchtop dispensers, low-maintenance dispense valves for automated production lines, precision dispense tips, and dispensing robots.
According to EFD President Peter Lambert, “Within 60 days of starting this project we were processing orders from over 25 countries into our SAP system in real time. Our customers have been impressed with the website’s convenience and ease-of-use, and consider it a major value-added service. Internally, we have gained tremendous efficiencies in the order management process.”
Nordson CIO Shelly Peet adds: “Nordson was a pioneer in the area of SAP integrated B2B eCommerce back in 2001, and by 2008 we faced the challenge of identifying a new eCommerce solution that could transition with us as we consolidate and upgrade our SAP landscape through 2010.”
Bayer concludes: “After the pilot program at EFD validated b2b2dot0’s solution and responsiveness, Nordson decided to make it the foundation of their entire SAP B2B eCommerce architecture. With Nordson’s help, we have been able to develop an industrial strength infrastructure, a functionally rich product, and scalable support services that position us well for 2009 and beyond.”
