Challenges
American Furniture Warehouse (AFW) needed help with supporting and maintaining their nopCommerce website. They were searching for an agency partner that had experience with the platform given the size of their eCommerce website and complex development support needs. This partner would also need to work alongside their internal development teams to provide guidance. Finally, AFW knew their website was not up to ADA standards and needed a compliance audit.Solution
AFW approached Bayshore Solutions because of their extensive nopCommerce experience and that they were local to the Denver area. This would allow for Bayshore to provide face-to-face development support, which was important to AFW. Coincidentally, Bayshore also had experience with their inventory management system (eStoris) which further qualified them as the right partner to solve AFW’s challenges. AFW contracted Bayshore for their website maintenance, help with their ADA audit and purchased a bucket of hours to use for whatever development needs they needed.
Since partnering together, Bayshore has provided AFW with the following:
- Custom integrations and updates to their search functionality.
- Reconfigured custom plugins the internal dev team had created, so they would work on a newer version of nopCommerce.
- Consulting on best practices related to nopCommerce including build processes, staging, live environment and process documentation.
- Website plugin that is used in in-store kiosks that allows customer to purchase custom art pieces.
Results
With Bayshore Solutions as their trusted partner, AFW has the development support they need to handle the volume that their $100 million eCommerce business generates. The local support allows for AFW’s internal developers to visit the Bayshore Denver office twice a week for planning and general support. This partnership embodies Bayshore’s ability to truly become an extension of our clients’ team.
