Project Overview
ToolWeb Website Migration and Redesign: Elevating B2B E-commerce for Integrated Supply Network (ISN)
​
Toolweb.com, the flagship B2B e-commerce platform for Integrated Supply Network (ISN), empowers customers with access to a comprehensive range of automotive tools and equipment. However, as digital landscapes evolved, the site was in need of a refresh to remain competitive. The project was initiated to not only modernize the platform but also to address critical deficiencies in catering to the needs of B2B clients.
Strategy and Approach
Enhancing the Customer Experience
​
The project commenced with a deep dive into understanding the pain points and opportunities to enhance the customer experience. Working closely with Sales Leaders, customer feedback was gathered, forming the foundation for the project's strategy. The customer journey was meticulously mapped, highlighting areas where improvements were necessary.
The next step was the development of wireframes, ensuring that the primary features essential for the new site were incorporated, while retaining key elements from the current site. This blueprint was a crucial guide for the project's progression.
Collaborating with the engineering team, the decision was made to transition to the Magento Enterprise platform. The wireframes evolved to encompass detailed UI features and functionality mapping, facilitating a seamless transition.
Several customer-centric features were introduced, such as the capability to generate custom sales flyers, create purchase orders for future orders, and enhanced access to order management tools.
To maintain consistency and guide the project's execution, a comprehensive style guide and functionality documentation were developed, serving as a valuable reference for other team members, particularly in merchandising and content placement.
Challenges
Tight Timelines and Tech Integrations
​
One of the project's primary challenges was the demanding timeline. Completion was essential before upcoming technology integrations, intensifying the urgency of the project. Despite this, the design and development phases were successfully executed within a mere four months, a remarkable feat that included onboarding a new Master Data Management solution from Stibo Systems and continued optimization of the digital product catalog.
Results and Impact
Elevating the Customer Experience
​
The culmination of the ToolWeb Website Migration and Redesign project realized positive impacts for the company and its customer experience. User feedback was overwhelmingly positive, and the tighter integration of the sales team with the marketing CRM (Hubspot) led to enhanced visibility into the sales pipeline and customer interactions. The project not only modernized the site but also enriched the B2B e-commerce experience.
For ISN, the project was a significant milestone in ensuring their digital presence remained competitive and customer-centric. The site's enhanced capabilities, streamlined user experience, and integration with the sales pipeline represented a leap forward in serving their B2B clients effectively.
The ToolWeb Website Migration and Redesign project illustrates the power of understanding customer needs, developing a comprehensive strategy, and executing with precision, ultimately resulting in a digital transformation that caters to the evolving demands of B2B clients.
