Abstract
In an increasingly digitalized business landscape, companies must find innovative ways to
engage with their clients and enhance the customer experience. This study explores the
integration of Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) in B2B marketing, focusing
on how these technologies can revolutionize product demonstrations and client interactions.
By analyzing industry trends and best practices, this research aims to provide strategic insights
for businesses looking to adopt AR/VR as a competitive advantage.
This project takes Simoldes, a leader in the manufacturing sector, as a case study. Given its
strong position in the automotive industry and interest in diversification, the research examines
how AR/VR can be leveraged to showcase complex products and manufacturing capabilities,
improve client engagement, and facilitate international expansion. The study is based on
publicly available data and existing literature, identifying key opportunities and challenges in
implementing these technologies within a B2B framework.
The final part of this report gives a general conclusion by bringing together the main results
and offering useful suggestions for companies like Simoldes that want to use AR/VR. The
research shows that it is important to match these technologies with the company’s goals, make
sure they are easy to use, and start with small tests before full use. With a good plan and focus
on the user, AR/VR can help improve client communication, explain complex products more
clearly, and support growth in the digital business world.
