Identified Challenges in Digital Commerce and Customer Engagement

The client operates a longstanding physical retail furniture business with an existing static website that only offered downloadable catalogs, failing to meet modern consumer expectations for online shopping.

The absence of a comprehensive eCommerce platform hindered growth opportunities and customer engagement, necessitating a digital transformation that seamlessly connects core business systems and offers a user-friendly shopping experience across devices.
