The Challenge

JJ O'Toole faced significant challenges with their previous platform.

The system's limitations hampered their ability to expand brands and display dynamic content such as videos. Sales had stagnated, and the platform's inability to support parent/child product hierarchies (variants) and advanced pricing and filtering options created operational inefficiencies. Basic changes were difficult to implement, necessitating a more flexible and scalable solution to meet their growing needs.


The Solution

Shopblocks provided a comprehensive solution tailored to JJ O'Toole's unique requirements. The key components of the implementation included:

 

1.

Integration with Kernel ERP System

Shopblocks integrated seamlessly with JJ O'Toole's Kernel ERP system, enabling automatic updates of product, stock, and prices. This automation facilitated effortless scaling and streamlined operations.

 

2.

Enhanced Self-Service with BlockLab

The introduction of BlockLab empowered JJ O'Toole to self-manage and elevate their marketing efforts. This tool provided a superior user experience (UX) for customers, making it easier to navigate the website and find desired products quickly.

 

3.

Dual-Focused Website Design

The new website was designed to cater to both B2B and B2C customers. Phase 2 of the project will introduce additional B2B functionalities, including customer-specific pricing and on-account payments with credit limits.


The support and consultative approach from the Shopblocks team have been exceptional, making this transition smooth and hassle free.
