Website Conversion to BigCommerce

1. Project

A More Efficient Site

The Fanucworld.com (TIE Industrial) site was difficult to update and required too much attention from their internal IT team, and required more time than they were able to give it. TIE was looking for a new site on a platform that would continue to push them forward as new standards came out, with the ability to leverage another team to help create and maintain the overall user experience of the site. They also hoped to improve the overall site, with new features like purchasing repair for parts that could be shipped to TIE.

2. Approach

Replatforming & New Functionality

OuterBox’s approach to the issues presented was to take the Fanucworld current site functionality and build it upon a new theme in BigCommerce. This new site would allow our team to help them maintain and push the site forward, as well as create new functionality that would raise the bar for their site. Project highlights include:

• Full site replatform to BigCommerce
• Leveraged a new, enhanced, efficient IT team
• New site features, like purchasing part repair with shipping
• Enabled a robust, differentiated B2B commerce experience without compromising security, stability or scalability
• Sleek site design for a large catalog, with customer and pricing segmentation down to the SKU level.
