Project Integrations
Project Overview
After "4-5 years of hell with a Magneto site", Burhouse had reached a point where they felt their site was losing customers and money. They knew they needed to replatform but were only being offered Shopify or WooCommerce based options and, having gone through five years of problems on Magento, didn't want to try and make their needs work on another inflexible, retail ecommerce platform.
Wholesale trade platform
They understood that they needed a platform that was primarily designed to cater for the majority of their customer base who are wholesalers, but also provide the same level of service to their smaller retail customers. Having discounted the usual suspects like Shopify, Magneto, BigCommerce etc... they followed a recommendation from their ERP partner, Inter-Concept, and opted for tradeit.
B2B Ecommerce
Catering for their B2B customers was key and the new site features a number of tools designed to assist them including a comprehensive My Account area. This features quick order forms, visible credit limits imported from their ERP, saved baskets, wishlists (that can be sent to other people), current discount level, saved quick order forms, recently ordered products, and much more.
No limitations
Another key consideration in replatforming was choosing a system that could meet their current and future needs, making it essential to select a platform without limitations. Their previous Magento site had an unusual and inconvenient issue that restricted customers from adding more than a certain number of items to their basket and completing their checkout, seriously hindering conversions. Now, there is no limit to the number of products customers can add to their basket. This allows them to shop at their own pace without encountering basket drops, enabling them to complete their purchase in one go instead of having to check out multiple times (if they were that patient).
On-site Search
With over 9,000 products, on-site search was key. The new search implemented in tradeit means results are far more accurate and returned in far less time. they now have a site set up for growth without issues or limitations.
