Uniwide’s Webstore Integration with MYOB Exo
Website: www.uniwide.com.au
Software: MYOB Exo
Business Type: Giftware Wholesale (B2B)
Company Overview
Uniwide is a Melbourne-based importer and distributor of giftware, homewares, and assorted products, supplying to a wide network of retail outlets across New Zealand and Australia, including supermarkets, pharmacies, gift shops, and hardware stores. With a focus on wholesale, Uniwide required an e-commerce solution that would represent their brand well while catering to the needs of their diverse B2B clientele.
Challenges
- Outdated Website Design: Uniwide’s previous site lacked aesthetic appeal and functionality, deterring both current and potential customers.
- Customer-Specific Pricing: Enabling B2B customers to view and order products at their MYOB Exo-assigned prices was crucial.
- Accurate Freight Calculation: Ensuring precise shipping costs for different regions and order types across Australia.
- Improved Product Categorisation: Simplifying navigation through extensive product categories and groupings for a seamless user experience.
Solution
- Modernised B2B Webstore Design: A visually appealing, intuitive webstore was developed to reflect Uniwide’s brand identity and enhance customer experience.
- Login-Only Site for B2B Access: A secure, login-only model ensured that only authorised business customers could access the webstore.
- MYOB Exo Price Integration: Real-time integration with MYOB Exo allowed customers to view personalised pricing based on their specific terms.
- Advanced Freight Module: An automated freight calculator provided accurate shipping rates for various regions, with options to accommodate pallet-sized orders.
- Enhanced Product Grouping and Categorisation: Products were organised using primary, secondary, and extra field groupings, including colour and size variants.
- Pallet Display and Ordering Module: The cart visually displays pallet requirements, enabling customers to optimise bulk purchases with minimum/multiple order settings.
Results
- Increased Customer Engagement: The redesigned webstore is visually engaging and user-friendly, motivating customers to explore and place orders online.
- Enhanced Operational Efficiency: Automated MYOB Exo pricing and freight calculation save time and reduce manual errors.
- Improved Brand Image: Uniwide’s new webstore bolsters brand confidence and pride among staff, who now actively promote the site to customers.
