Identified Challenges in Outdated Retail Website and Limited Online Presence

The client’s existing website is outdated, slow, and restricts the implementation of new functionalities, resulting in decreased user engagement, lower conversion rates, and limited ability to showcase new services or products effectively. There is a need for a more user-friendly, scalable, and feature-rich online platform to attract a broader audience and increase online sales performance.

About the Client

A large specialty retail company with an extensive national presence, seeking to expand online sales and enhance customer engagement through a modern eCommerce platform.

Key Goals for the New eCommerce Development Project

  • Design and implement a modern, user-centric eCommerce platform with streamlined navigation and enhanced convenience for online purchases.
  • Develop a flexible, real-time product catalog with direct upload capabilities from inventory management systems.
  • Integrate secure payment gateways and reliable delivery services to facilitate seamless transaction and fulfillment processes.
  • Implement advanced search functionalities, including voice search and error tolerance, to improve product discovery speed and accuracy.
  • Create dedicated presentation pages for special services or offerings to enhance customer awareness and engagement.
  • Achieve measurable outcomes such as over a 30% increase in online order volume and higher average transaction value within the first operational period.

Core System Functionalities and Features

  • A flexible product catalog with advanced filtering options and direct integration with inventory management systems.
  • Real-time product quantity displays on product pages.
  • Seamless integration of popular payment gateways and delivery service modules within product cards.
  • Implementation of a smart search engine utilizing Elasticsearch technology for rapid, typo-tolerant product searches.
  • Voice search functionality capable of understanding user errors and multiple keyboard layouts.
  • Dedicated landing and catalog pages for special services or products, providing clear and engaging presentation.

Technological Foundations for Robust eCommerce Platform

Elasticsearch for advanced search functionalities
Integration with inventory management (e.g., 1C or similar) for product data synchronization
Modern frontend frameworks for responsive UX design
Backend APIs supporting payment and delivery integrations

Essential External System Integrations

  • Payment gateway services for secure online transactions
  • Delivery service platforms for order fulfillment
  • Inventory management systems for product data synchronization

Performance, Security, and Scalability Standards

  • Platform must support high traffic volumes with minimal latency, ensuring rapid page loads and search responses.
  • System should be secure, protecting user data and transaction information in compliance with relevant standards.
  • Platform must be scalable to accommodate future growth, adding new features without major reengineering.

Projected Business Benefits and Performance Improvements

The new eCommerce platform is expected to significantly boost online sales, with a target of over 30% increase in order volume during initial deployment, along with higher average transaction values. Additionally, it will attract a younger, tech-savvy audience, enhance user engagement, and provide a scalable foundation for future feature expansion, ultimately strengthening the client's market position in online retail.
