Challenges
Tower Housewares embarked on their ecommerce journey utilising both Magento and Shopify, yet soon encountered a great number of challenges. These hurdles significantly impeded their ability to seamlessly integrate custom solutions and obstructed their capacity for sustainable growth.
Mismanagement of inventory led to instances of both overselling and underselling products, characterised by rapid stock fluctuations, ultimately compromising customer satisfaction. Alongside this, their scattered data management system and reliance on developers for modifications hampered in-house management efficiency and online performance.
Persistent issues with a lack of design flexibility and slow technical adjustments left the team consistently trailing behind competitors, heightening their need for a comprehensive solution. They needed to implement measures to enable them to regain lost ground and secure their position in the market.
