Problem
The lab product supplying company offers a myriad of products required for a healthcare Laboratory to run efficiently, including test kits, numerous glassware, plasticware, instruments, and equipment. To ensure a superior customer experience and gain more loyal customers, the company decided to migrate its website to the Shopify platform. Techtic was supposed to ensure the utmost precision in the migration, confronting every possible issue. However, Techtic’s experience delivering numerous result-driven Shopify stores made the job easier.
Challenges
The company’s website was built in core PHP, and now it will be migrated to Shopify. This was not the challenge but importing the store’s data and content to Shopify and organizing the products by creating categories and subcategories without compromising on the platform look or user experience required some iterations. On the other hand, we needed to make the platform relevant to the latest trends and integrate out-of-the-box integrations, such as payment gateways, email marketing API, and Chatbot too.
Result
By overcoming challenges through brainstorming and iterations, the Techtic team delivered a project that matched the industry standard while engaging the customer fairly. Customers are now able to make informed decisions without much hassle as they can quickly preview the products, search products by brands and categories, and checkout faster, no matter if they shop from their desktop, smartphone, or tablet.
The responsiveness, interactive and intuitive navigation, and streamlined buyer’s journey are winning customer loyalty, concluding the company’s bottom line rise.
