Now looking to grow their wholesale and B2B operation, we’re pleased to announce the launch of their new B2B store on Shopify and SparkLayer!
The challenge
Prior to using SparkLayer, Cosmo Connected were running a Drupal CMS with a combination of custom processes and tools, resulting in a lot of manual work for their B2B ordering process. They were also heavily reliant on technical developers to create and maintain their B2B systems. Cosmo Connected needed to find a more automated system that would allow them to centralise their B2C and B2C channels, lowering the amount of manual actions for their sales team, as well as enabling better analytics and reporting for their sales and management teams.
The solution
Cosmo Connected implemented SparkLayer onto their existing Shopify store with a hybrid B2C + B2B set up, allowing both retail and B2B customers to browse and place orders. With SparkLayer installed, this has now enabled some major benefits for their B2B channel:
- Self-service ordering for customers with 24/7 access
- Their sales team can create orders easily via the Sales Agent tool
- Customers have full visibility of pricing as well as volumetric pricing tiers and pack sizes
- Customers can fully manage their account such as track orders and repeat purchase
With SparkLayer integrating seamlessly with Shopify, this has brought a number of other key improvements:
- All B2B orders are pushed directly into their fulfillment software, negating the need to input orders manually.
- Set up as a hybrid B2C & B2B Shopify store, they now have a 360-view of orders in both B2C and B2B
“The Sparklayer team has been very reactive to help us quickly build our new B2B system. Sparklayer is easy to install and it now saves us a lot of time so we can focus on growing our business. ! ~ Adrien Champenois, eCommerce Manager
