Challenges

Customisation Limitations

UK Flat Roofing began their ecommerce journey on PrestaShop, yet quickly encountered significant challenges. These issues hindered their ability to efficiently manage updates and restricted their operational efficiency.

Lack of B2B Functionality

Given its substantial B2B customer base, UK Flat Roofing discovered that PrestaShop did not offer the necessary tools and functionalities to effectively provide personalised pricing options and manage bulk orders in a streamlined manner.

Scalability Problems

The platform faced significant challenges in managing the increasing traffic and sales volumes that came with the growth of UK Flat Roofing’s business. This struggle adversely impacted overall performance and diminished the company's ability to deliver a seamless and satisfying customer experience.

Integration Inefficiencies

PrestaShop’s integration with essential back-end systems, such as payment gateways and inventory management, proved to be cumbersome and inefficient. This complexity not only slowed down crucial processes but also restricted overall operational efficiency, hindering UK Flat Roofing's ability to respond swiftly to customer demands and adapt to market changes.


EFFECTIVE MIGRATION

Scalable for Growth

Shopblocks effectively managed the rising traffic and sales volumes experienced by UK Flat Roofing, ensuring a seamless user experience even amidst the company's growth. This capability allowed the business to maintain high performance and customer satisfaction as it expanded.

Seamless Integration

The platform seamlessly integrated with UK Flat Roofing’s existing systems, enhancing operational efficiency and allowing the company to handle higher sales volumes without encountering bottlenecks. This integration streamlined processes, ultimately supporting the business’s growth objectives.
