The new site also makes it simple for customers to manage their Hilti Fleet Management tools as well as do business online with Hilti using their own, company-specific pricing. In addition, Hilti incorporated a new search engine powered by Google, making searches more relevant.

“The improvements to Hilti Online were based upon direct customer feedback,” said Philip Robins, Hilti director of e-business. “This allowed us to deliver a high-quality user experience consistent with what our customers expect from Hilti.”

Hilti E-Business and IT development group partnered with several leading industry providers for the Hilti Online renovation: the design phase partner is Crealogix Interactive Business, a leading supplier of E-Business solutions; the front-end software solution and development is BroadVision, a global provider of personalized self-service web applications; and for the integrated search solution, Hilti utilized the Google Search Appliance.

The new Hilti Online will continue to roll out to all Hilti market organizations worldwide, with a completion date of April 2010.
