Link complex procedures to a simple dashboard, and get off the hamster wheel of constant labor.
Case Study 2
CLIENT:
Maui Coffee Roasters
PROBLEM:
- Frequent and recurring sales always required expensive labor
- Additional labor was needed to restore shipping and pricing to their original rates after each sale
SOLUTION:
- Link all sale configuration option to a master dashboard
- Program the system to restore the original rates at the end of sale, automatically
Hours saved per sale event:
A Closer Look:
Maui Coffee Roasters ships their product across the globe, and frequently runs sales and shipping promotions. Each promotion is shaped by dynamic inventory and marketing needs, which used to mean the underlying logic needed to be carefully built—and later removed—by an experienced developer.
This is a MAJOR PROBLEM ... because it means that for every sale event, they must make enough profit to cover the cost of executing the sale first, before the sale can be truly profitable.
Problem
- Executing an annual "Holiday Sale" required manual configuration of many components, across many different screens:
- Change slideshow content within slider component
- Update homepage to use holiday slider
- Update homepage and multiple shop pages with verbiage
- Configure product/shipping promotion
- Perform all actions the day of/day before sale
- Restore the old settings after sale period
- Repeated annually
Solution
- Unite all settings under a single dashboard, making it fast and easy for staff members or managers to activate sales.
- Slideshow updates automatically
- Homepage and other pages update with sale data
- Shipping rules and discounts configured automatically
- All content and configurations reset automatically at the end of the sale.
- Sale details can be modified (order thresholds, discount amounts, etc)
