KYKLO is the global leader in helping Manufacturers and their Channel Partners improve online product discovery, generate more sales-qualified leads, and deliver a better online buying experience. Founded by former members of Schneider Electric, KYKLO, is the only company on the market with engineers from an industrial background building, enriching, and maintaining product content. We understand technical buyers because we dealt with or were technical buyers ourselves. We know how our peers spec out products, and the taxonomies they prefer—whether they're searching for products on Google, on manufacturer websites, and on distributor sites. KYKLO knows the challenges that manufacturers face not just syndicating content, but also creating it to begin with, maintaining it, or deploying it to the final user. KYKLO knows the challenges distributors face not just having content available but also making it work with their own content strategy, creating the facets, filling in missing attributes, or deploying it to solutions with limited capabilities. At KYKLO, we’re different because your buyers are different. www.kyklo.co |
