The Challenge
Prior to working with IronPlane, Omni International’s site was built on Magento 1. While the site was operable, it needed to be migrated to Magento 2, and Omni wanted to modernize its UI, improve its UX, and scale up its shipping and bundling features in the process.
In addition, Omni wanted to better tailor their site to meet the needs of customers in Europe and the Americas, displaying 100s of related SKUs and research publications for each product in a digestible way. And because Omni customers were a mix of individual labs and enterprise customers, they wanted to offer both cart and quoting options.
Omni sales reps also wanted to implement Pardot, a customer tracking tool, to gain more insight into what customers were looking for on the site.
The Solution
IronPlane used our expertise to design a custom, sleek look for Omni International’s new Magento 2 site, inspired by our open-source Magento theme, Alpaca. In tandem, we implemented Magento’s B2B Commerce edition to support both add-to-cart and add-to-quote functions. With this new UI and more functional UX, customers could easily navigate the site, explore product bundles and accessories, read corresponding research, and request formal quotes.
Our team then implemented Pardot to provide reps with the sales intelligence they needed to deliver more accurate quotes, upsell customers on additional products, and prioritize their most valuable leads.
IronPlane also configured a distributor locator feature to automatically assign the correct distributor to each order based on the customer’s IP address and greatly streamline checkout and back-end operations. At the same time, we helped implement ShipperHQ. With both of these solutions in place, Omni customers could track where their shipment was coming from and better understand when it would arrive.
