Landscaping Search and Wish List

New Website Helps Customers Find and Choose Landscaping Plants

Business Need:
An owner of a local landscaping and gardening company wanted to find a way to post their inventory online so that consumers could view in-stock products by either browsing a catalog or quickly locating specific plants and trees using a robust search engine with a variety of key categories. The company also wanted to give the consumers the ability to generate a wish list of desired items to print out and have in hand when they visited the store, for quick and easy shopping. In addition, the company wanted the ability for their wholesalers to benefit from the same search engine and wish list functionality to enhance their order and pick up experience.

Our Solution:
Kohnen Solutions, LLC met with the owner, learned about their business, and matched the perfect technology solution to the exact business needs of the company. Kohnen Solutions, LLC took their already comprehensive e-commerce application and further customized it to have intuitive search features, wish list creation capability, online inventory update capability, and allowed for multiple user types and roles. These customizations were in addition to other features that are already available in the e-commerce package such as a robust catalog, shopping cart, ratings/reviews, etc.

Successful Outcome:
Consumers can now browse and search through a catalog of plants and trees and print out a full wish list before coming into the store, making their shopping experience more efficient and pleasurable. Wholesalers can conveniently build a "pick up list" that is automatically emailed to the company's employees who have the order ready to go when they arrive, saving everyone time. The company's owner can now easily add, edit, or delete any products from the online catalog and keep all of the pictures, quantities, descriptions, and search key words up to date online.
