CHALLENGE
Shape Technologies manages a group of companies providing waterjet technologies to customers around the world. The problem? Their web technology to sell parts could not provide a modern ecommerce solution. Their businesses were limited by outdated and inefficient platforms that struggled to keep up with complicated inventories and customer-specific pricing systems. They needed a custom-built app to search and filter these complex inventories within the Shopify platform.
SOLUTION
We migrated ecommerce for Flow Parts, a global subsidiary of Shape, to Shopify Plus. To make this possible, we integrated with their existing Enterprise Resource Planning architecture for the product, order, and customer information. This integration allowed for customer-specific pricing and volume discounts.
We also built a custom Product Management System to help maintain a large inventory with complex categorization as well as a custom solution that uses Shopify's search feature to provide the search and filtering features they required for their complex catalogue of parts.
RESULTS
Many of Shape Technologies' child companies (including Flow Parts' North American and European Union divisions and KMT North America) now have much more user-friendly, robust, and intuitive websites, able to seamlessly handle large sales volumes involving thousands of product variants each with varying pricing rules.
Because the solutions were a mix of Shopify-based technology and custom-built integrations, Shape's web assets are now running better than ever before and at a fraction of the price.
