Kloudq Technologies : Combining IoT And SaaS To Boost ROI Of Businesses
Indian Digital Transformation market is expected to reach $710 billion by 2024, registering a CAGR of 74.7%, during the forecast period. The growth in the market can be attributed to increasing adoption of Internet of Things (IoT) and surging manufacturing industry in the country. According to you, what are the major advantages that attract the customers to choose such solution?We strongly believe that just buying a software does not increase sales or achieve the desired business objectives. The product and implementation partners should have a razor sharp focus on the business objectives of their customers and a clear thought process on how the product will help in achieving the organization’s goals. Our products have been designed in such a way that each of our customers can relate to the solution and understand the impact of how usage of the product is going to bring them closer to achieving their business objectives. We believe this is the reason why our customers choose us. Be it IoT or sales force automation solutions, we work very closely with our customers and together achieve the desired objectives.
What are the major expectations of clients from the digital transformation solutions provider, and how does Kloudq meet and exceed those expectations?
There are two key expectations based on our experience:
1. Customers want an ROI – If digitization is only going to take a manual process on an app, then it does not make sense in the long term. Every rupee invested in the digital transformation journey should yield returns.
2. Customers want a partner who will be part of the post implementation cycle. Each customer subscribes or buys with an intention of achieving certain objectives. There is a fear of failure as there is a cost associated with the purchase and the owning cycle. Hence, a partner who is not fly by night operator and who understands the importance and expectations of the customer is preferred.
How is Kloudq positioned in this domain?
IIoT and Sales force automation players are available in plenty. However, our key USPs are as under:
1. We are not a pure IT or technology company. We understand business and our solutions solve business needs and give a tangible ROI to the customers.
2. We are a self-funded company and are looking to be in the game for a long term unlike small funded startups who are looking to exit the business as a primary business objective.
3. We are working with very large organizations who are segment leaders in the country as well as with small companies. This flexibility in deployment is unseen in large enterprise solutions.
4. Customer success is core to our culture and not just responsibility of our sales.
Leveraging the power of IoT and SaaS, how has Kloudq helped the clients unlock value from supply chain and logistics, sales and marketing automation?
