Case Study

HEVIGRUP

The online store behind a manufacturer's four brands, where a thousand-item catalog is sold by category, brand and unit of measure

  1. Route buyers through six categories — park, fence, sport, constructional, wire and warming systems — and four in-house brands
  2. Price every item in the unit it is actually sold in: piece, metre, square metre, roll, box or kilogram
  3. Carry the order through wishlist, cart, account and secure checkout in GEL

Overview

What it had to solve

Selling manufactured goods online is not the same as selling boxed products. The same catalog holds fencing panels sold by square metre, wire by the kilogram, glue by the bucket and stadium seats by the piece — and a buyer needs the right unit and price before they can order. HEVIGRUP structures the range into categories and in-house brands, prices every item in its own unit, and adds the storefront layer around it: new and featured lists, top sellers, wishlist, accounts and checkout.
