They had various documents: technical specifications, product manuals and construction site plans that needed converting into dynamic presentations for mobile and web, compatible with existing internal apps.
“Our ambition was to equip the entire sales team with iPads filled with attractive product content accessible on mobile and web. The vision was to convert over 100 documents from paper to digital.”

Solution: digital sales presentations
Saint-Gobain Isover decided to go mobile by creating a sales enablement app. The new tool fitted business requirements due to various reasons:
Their sales team were spread across the entire France and needed easily accessible, always up-to-date documents. Thanks to mobile they gained efficiency and were able to automate sharing process, easily updating sales materials on all devices.
