To increase the customer service and enlarge the sales potential at each customer side, Ivoclar Vivadent did decide to use AutoID scanning with IoS-Technology (Internet of Scanning).
The usual way for their customers to order products out of their wide range of thousands of products for dentists was placing an order by taking a phone call to their sales agents, or writing a letter / Email, ordering via Internet or discussions with an sales person locally.

Mixing order numbers or misunderstandings are day by day problems, which cause cost and frustration on customer- and producer side. Long discussions, resending and waiting times are disappointing results. Ivoclar Vivadent was looking for an easy solution to avoid mistakes and increase the customer service.
