Tools and Timber
Powering eCommerce growth with a Magento 2 upgrade for Tools and Timber
A new online store equipped to handle an expanding portfolio, increasing online revenue by 86% in just 7 months and boosting traffic by 74%.
Tools and Timber is a leading provider of wood and woodwork tools to both the trade and DIY markets.
Having undergone a major expansion in recent years, the company required a Magento 2 website to showcase their ever-growing range of products.
Tools and Timber’s existing Magento 1 site not only needed to encompass the Magento 2 upgrade but required key changes to improve customer experience. Making key improvements in this area makes the website easier for customers to use, resulting in higher online sales and encouraging returning customers.
With a constantly expanding online portfolio, it’s also important their website is able to handle large amounts of data while optimising site speed and performance. Migrating such a large inventory of stock required careful data handling to ensure an accurate and seamless transition.
Reinventing the customer experience at scale.
Rebuilding Tools & Timber’s website with Magento 2 allowed Aware to reinvent the customer’s online experience and scale the website to handle an ever-growing product inventory.
Improving the customer experience
Making buying online a smooth journey
After understanding more about the Tools & Timber product range, it was clear there was an urgent need to make it easier for customers to navigate their way through the vast array of available items. This was particularly important as Tools and Timber not only sell their own inventory but also products from 60 other brands.
With this in mind, we redesigned the site to completely overhaul the browsing experience, including the use of advanced search functionality, detailed filters, and improved shipping information courtesy of a Shipper HQ integration.
Advanced Search and Filtration
Customers can now easily navigate through the large inventory to find the products they’re looking for, creating a simple and intuitive shopping experience.
Personalised Shipping
Magento 2 sophisticatedly handles Shipper HQ. This provides customers with a smooth online buying experience with personalised and accurate delivery costs and details.
Gift Vouchers
Customers are able to generate their own personalised gift voucher. They can select their chosen value, write their own message and choose from pre-set designs or upload their own image. To complete the buying experience, gift cards are easily redeemed by applying a code in the online basket.
Easy in-house maintenance
Utilising the power of Magento 2 to create a store that’s ultra easy for in-house teams to manage on a day-to-day basis.
Custom Content Builder
Our custom content builder allows easy in-house maintenance using a drag and drop editor. The website can be kept up-to-date without a headache.
Custom CRM Integration
Ensuring the website and in-house systems communicate with each other is key. Accurate records of stock levels from both online and offline sales provide up-to-date information to both Tools & Timber’s team and their customers.
