The Challenge

Why B2B Hardware
Discovery Breaks Down

B2B buyers of industrial computing, networking, and rugged hardware make high-consideration purchases. They need exact specs, compatibility checks, performance data, and procurement information, all before requesting quotes or contacting sales.

Common category problems include:

1

Complex Products With Many Variants

2

Long Buyer Cycles With Drop-Offs

3

Heavy Reliance On Sales Reps

4

Scattered Specs And Documentation

Industry Context

How Our Health Supplement Client Solved This Problem

MA Rugged, a B2B supplier of rugged computers, industrial switches, tablets, and automation hardware, was experiencing growing catalog complexity and rising pre-sale questions. As traffic increased, buyers struggled to find technical details quickly, leading to lower on-site conversions and higher support involvement.

The Failures

Unanswered Technical Questions Stalled High-Intent Buyers

Without instant support, MA Rugged’s product pages struggled to meet buyer expectations. Technical questions went unanswered, documentation was difficult to navigate, and shoppers lacked the clarity needed to proceed. This created friction across the buying journey from product evaluation to quote submission.

01

No On-site Assistant

All product questions are directed to sales/support, resulting in delays and out-of-sight interactions.

02

Customer Drop-off on PDPs

Customers drop off on product pages because critical technical answers weren’t immediately available.

03

Low RTQ Conversion

Low RTQ conversion from the website: interested buyers left to email or call instead of submitting quotes.

04

Difficult to Find Answers

Documentation and spec details were difficult for buyers to navigate and synthesize.

The Solution

AI Assistant on Product Pages

MA Rugged deployed the ConversionBox AI Shopping Assistant directly on its highest-intent product pages. In this exact place, buyers evaluate specs, compare models, and decide whether to submit a quote.

1

LLM + Catalog Fusion

ConversionBox’s LLM AI assistant interprets buyer questions and maps intent to exact product attributes and compatibility information.

2

Instant, Inline Answers

Buyers get material specs, port compatibility, voltage/temperature tolerances, and procurement notes without leaving the product page.

3

RTQ & Engagement Flows

The assistant surfaces quote actions and pre-fills product context for sales, increasing RTQ completion.

4

Sales Enablement

The AI assistant routes complex or high-value queries to sales as warm, pre-qualified leads, rather than raw inquiries.

The Outcome

This eliminated guesswork

Reduced reliance on pre-sales support

Once live, the assistant became the single source of instant, accurate product answers. It pulled information from specs, manuals, compatibility notes, and support documentation, delivering clear responses in seconds. This eliminated guesswork, kept buyers engaged on-site, and removed the need to call or email for basic clarity.

With real-time guidance now embedded in the buying flow, MA Rugged saw higher page engagement, more confident buyers, and a measurable lift in RFQ submissions.
