Business Context
Need and Desire Satisfaction
Carpet Exchange joined hands with Avya Tech to design and develop a unique e-commerce portal from scratch. The imperative to establish a robust online presence led Carpet Exchange to embark on an e-commerce transformation. With more than 80,000 products listed, the platform aimed to showcase the extensive product range and handle a substantial daily traffic of 50 million users.
Business context dictated the need for a scalable, feature-rich e-commerce solution that could seamlessly manage the complexities of flooring retail, including bulk purchases, custom pricing, and specialized product inquiries.
Challenges
Thoughtful Solutions to Demanding Situation
The journey toward an optimized e-commerce platform was not without its challenges. Managing a vast product catalog, handling high daily traffic, and implementing unique purchasing rules introduced intricacies that demanded meticulous solutions. The challenges encompassed:
Bulk Purchases and Minimum Quantity Rules
Developing custom modules to enforce bulk purchases, where users are required to buy a minimum quantity for specific categories, introduced complexity in the purchasing process. This necessitated a tailored approach to ensure a smooth user experience while adhering to business rules.
Price Visibility and Inquiry Form
Certain products require a unique approach to pricing and purchase. Restricting price details and Add to Cart functionality, users were prompted to submit an inquiry form. An automated process implemented to send users an email with the product link, pricing, and Add to Cart option, adding a layer of customization to the purchasing journey.
