Project Brief

For nearly a century in the business, with over 30 outlets and 1,000 skilled employees, our client has been a cornerstone of the American real estate landscape. As a leading manufacturer and supplier of high-quality materials for steel buildings and residential metal roofing, the client has helped countless families and businesses achieve their dream homes and infrastructures.

Business Needs & Challenges

Complex flow of online purchase

Buying building materials online isn't as straightforward as your average shopping experience. For our client, it was even more challenging due to confusing requirements, complex dimensions, and installation intricacies. As a result, many of their customers experienced frustration and ultimately abandoned their carts.

The lack of personalized digital experience

In the crowded digital landscape, the lack of personalized experiences and tailored recommendations blocked the real estate business's ability to engage interactively with their customers. This lack of personalized services led to missed opportunities and lost sales within their online platform.

Extremely lengthy and non-digitized sales processes

The building material manufacturer and retailer encountered significant challenges due to its extensive and non-digitized sales processes. Lengthy and manual procedures undermined their efficiency, posing challenges for customers to navigate through intricate steps, resulting in delays in decision-making and purchase finalization.
