Appliance 365 is fresh online shop offering truly fantastic prices on a portfolio of kitchen appliances including built-in ovens, hobs, cooker hoods, wine coolers, range cookers and so on.
I got particularly hooked on this project due to the value for money that Appliance365 was able to offer. Thanks to optimized shopping solution I created, appliance365 is able to sell to retail customers for wholesale prices.
How is it possible to offer wholesale prices on appliances to retail customers?
It is possible because everything is optimized. From adding and updating products to management of orders, customers and interactions. Built in a single easy to use online application available everywhere.
The solution was built with the following features in mind:
- Highly usable, so that any newbie in business can sit down and use the application with no learning curve whatsoever
- Taking orders, generating invoices, packing slips and shipping labels needs to be fully automated process with no human input needed
- Add a new professionally looking fully fledged product specification should take a person with no special training less than 3 minutes
- Shop needs to allow customers to track status of their orders if they setup an account
- Managing inventory in the shop scattered through multiple warehouses needs to be fully automated to allow selling trough multiple channels and keep the exact stock numbers in 1 single place
- CRM functionality to easily manage unlimited customer contacts, organizations, newsletter/leaflet subscriptions and customer-customercare interactions in one single online interface available wherever the staff is
- Automated credit card payments and billing notifications
- Management of users and user groups such as staff, administrators, distributors and suppliers
- Specific customizable permissions within the system for each group of users
- Tracking and logging of actions taken by staff using the system
- Marketing and sales tools such as upsells, discounts, gift certificates and wishlists
- Manageble & spam proof consumer generated product reviews, star ratings and feedback
- Exporting product feeds for marketing purposes such as Google products & Kelkoo
