Thermo Fisher Scientific – Maximize Impact through Strategic Investment

Thermo Fisher Scientific and Kaon Interactive partnership logos

If putting customers at the center of their business was so easy, every company would do it – but they don’t. Why? Well, it’s hard to do! It’s hard to create unique experiences for all your customers and your sales team to leverage when you have not made it part of the bones of your company.

Great news! Driven by sales and marketing leadership, Thermo Fisher Scientific has invested in Kaon Interactive’s CX platform to help sellers effectively compete, communicate differentiation, put customers first, win deals – and create economic value along the way.

Thermo Fisher Scientific's suite of interactive experiences can be used all along the hybrid omnichannel buyer journey

Thermo Fisher Scientific and Kaon Interactive Partnership Timeline

Reducing costs and driving sales — customer engagement that works at any budget.

Don’t let competing priorities unfairly force you to do less with less and not make a positive impact on business growth. Invest in what’s working!

Lab Products used Kaon’s applications to generate $100M in NA revenue in 2023 while positioning itself as an innovative leader in laboratory solutions and minimizing the costs of physical product demos. They, and other divisions, use the multichannel reusability of the Kaon platform to:

  • Accelerate Sales: Help customers learn, choose, and configure products – then enable reps to support their journey and close faster.
  • Increase Deal Sizes: 3D workflows and Lab Design Tool demonstrate end-to-end solutions that solve customer challenges.
  • Drive Leads: On the web and at events, the Kaon Platform is designed to guide customers and provide actionable data to sales and marketing.
  • Improve Consumable and Service Tie-Ins: All Kaon applications can support simultaneous sales of equipment, consumable, and services.
  • Help Customers Learn: Customers don’t want to talk to reps. Kaon’s interactive engagements with built-in AI help customers make sense of how your solutions make their world better.
  • Train and Enable Staff and Channel Partners: LPD converted one of their applications into a gamified “Escape Room Training Experience” to better engage audiences, immerse them in interactive demos like those used with customers, and measure participation.
  • Lower Operational Costs: Reduce shipping and demo costs, improve sales volume per commercial rep, and increase self-service effectiveness.
  • Transform Customer Relationships: Instead of selling, reps who use the Lab Design Tool to help customers plan are seen as solving.
