Challenge

Disrupting the system

New ways of working require new ways of thinking. Mercha came to us with an incredible vision for streamlining merch supply. We worked with them to bring it to life online.

Creating a seamless flow

Using Shopify Plus, we needed to aesthetically and intuitively showcase Mercha’s wide range of products, categories and suppliers to the user. Mercha also needed a functional design interface for its orders and a seamless customer flow—from creating the order to checkout.

Solution

Design, function & customisation

We showcased Mercha’s products and categories for easy navigation and seamless customer journeys from the start. We also designed Mercha’s custom user interface, which allowed customers to make specific customisations to select products.

Automate—everything

Our team ensured users could see their customised product artworks at every stage. And, we automated the entire process—linking each artwork to the sales order. This system managed customer data at scale, connecting Shopify to a custom app. Mercha’s various bulk pricing rules are determined by the product, decoration and supplier. We automated this function, allowing the user to see all relevant quantity-based discounts and product prices with ease.

The easy way to get exciting, high quality branded merchandise in three simple steps: Design. Order. Delight.

Digital is disruption

Making complex things simple is harder than it looks. But that’s exactly what we’re here for.

Bring your idea with the right digital tools.
