Cleaner's Supply
Providing 20,000 products on a polished, personalized ecommerce estate
Cleaner's Supply, a large dry-cleaning supply distributor, have built a reputation as a fast, reliable, and devoted customer service organization.
They were looking for a digital commerce transformation and saw a market opportunity to capture the next generation of dry cleaners and tailors. With multiple sites, shared products, and a variety of customer needs, Cleaner's Supply had complex requirements. These included personalized product and content recommendations and increasing search and order capabilities.
A zip line approach
The plan for success included utilizing Episerver Commerce Cloud, with a clear alignment on goals and metrics through continuous communication. The strategy focused on personas and journey-mapping, which directed feature and functionality requirements and determined the best path forward for both the customer and Cleaner's Supply internal team members.
The Luminos Labs implementation team used a proven process driven by risk mitigation, proofs of concept, quality assurance (QA) testing every sprint, and clear communication with the Cleaner's Supply team.
