01THE CHALLENGE

Too much everyday ordering still depended on staff

The supplier needed to reduce manual ordering and give trade customers a practical self-service option. Customers had to find the right items across a large product range, place multi-item orders quickly and present clear product information to their own clients.

  • A large product catalogue that needed fast, accurate search
  • Trade ordering needs that standard online stores did not support well
  • Trade customers needed a self-service platform for day-to-day purchasing
  • Product data and imagery needed to be presentable for downstream client use
02OUR APPROACH

Put routine product finding and ordering in the customer’s hands

The platform was shaped around the way trade customers already worked. Faster catalogue search, quick multi-item ordering and printable product sheets turned routine requests into self-service tasks while preserving the supplier’s day-to-day operations.
