Challenges

Poor Data Integrity

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.

Inventory Mismanagement

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.

Technical and Design Inflexibility

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.


EFFECTIVE MIGRATION

Solutions

Full Website Migration & Design Overhaul

Tower Housewares underwent a complete website migration, including a detailed project solution by our in-house Customer Success & Implementations team. This ensured seamless integration of custom solutions and enhanced data visibility in customer accounts.  Additionally, BlockLab facilitated swift content management and SEO control, enhancing marketing effectiveness.

StockPort™ Implementation

The implementation of StockPort™ provided Tower Housewares with one centralised and flexible data management system, addressing inventory mismanagement issues. This removed overselling and underselling instances, improving customer satisfaction and gave stability for the company to grow.

Simplified API & Custom Integrations

Symphony Commerce's API integration empowered Tower Housewares' team with self-sufficiency in syncing order and customer information across systems. Simplified custom integrations, without developer assistance, facilitated quick platform integration, boosting operational efficiency. Along with this, they received in-house training  and ongoing support giving them confidence to adapt and test new innovative ideas.  


The platform is reliable and highly automated with a great user experience but at the same time the Symphony team are flexible enough to meet our bespoke trading needs.
