10 High-Performing B2B Ecommerce Businesses That Successfully Migrated to Shopify Plus with Uncap
How Shopify Plus B2B is becoming the #1 alternative to migrate to.
For years, Shopify was considered by many a consumer technology-enabling ecommerce platform. B2B websites were more commonly built on WooCommerce, BigCommerce or Magento, resulting in higher costs and rigidity for businesses. Now, in an effort to address the growing B2B ecommerce market, Shopify has expanded its feature set and is considered the premier option for both B2B and B2C ecommerce. As a result, businesses are increasingly turning to experts to handle the migration from legacy platforms. At Uncap, we’ve handled dozens of these migrations while skillfully incorporating the capabilities and features required by manufacturers, suppliers and wholesalers.
If you’re interested in the key ingredients that make a B2B ecommerce website successful, here’s a primer. Or, continue reading eight real-world examples of Uncap customers that replatformed from a variety of legacy solutions to a more advanced, scalable backbone in Shopify Plus.
Welding Store
This 70-year-old business needed to break from the custom platform on which it operated to really enter the digital age. Given the broad product line, a completely new ecommerce website was developed with custom collection filters, badges, feature sections and an enhanced navigation strategy. Additionally, reward and payment plan solutions were implemented for a best-in-class customer experience.
ULE Group
An electrical supplier with an expansive catalog, ULE Group needed to fix how customers found their solutions. The company engaged Uncap to build a B2B storefront and reimagine the customer experience with advanced search, navigation and catalog options. In addition, special customization capabilities were added to the checkout.
Industry-Railway Suppliers
Industry-Railway Suppliers is a company that specializes in providing high-quality tools, equipment, and services tailored for the railway and transit maintenance industry. With a commitment to innovation, safety, and reliability, Industry-Railway Suppliers offers a comprehensive range of products, including track maintenance tools, mechanical equipment, and safety gear. We helped them successfully migrate from BigCommerce to Shopify, ensuring a seamless migration process that minimized disruptions and enhanced their ecommerce capabilities.
Sanitaire Commercial
In its nearly 50 years of operating, Sanitaire has developed a reputation of delivering high-performance, energy-efficient commercial cleaning equipment such as carpet extractors and backpack vacuums. The company needed a total update from an ecommerce system that was slow and underperforming, and also needed to integrate its ERP. Uncap moved all of its data and customer info from Cloud Commerce to Shopify, then customized a design and integrated the ERP system. Among the new features is a custom quoting system, built in accordance with customer buying preferences.
Microfiber Wholesale
Microfiber Wholesale, a 75-year-old, family-owned business, has a longstanding history of offering premium cleaning and janitorial supplies for households, retailers and businesses. Its previous website was built on Pinnacle Cart and lacked the aesthetics and functionality apropos of a company of its standing, but the data and information needed to stay intact. After a successful migration to Shopify Plus, the functionality and design requirements were addressed to provide a much improved user experience as well as a significant increase in traffic.
Warehouse-Lighting.com
As the provider of a wide range of lighting solutions for homes and businesses, Warehouse-Lighting.com knew the clarity of its offerings would be key in its website’s performance. After migrating the site from Americommerce, Uncap enabled configuration tools so the company’s customizable products would be easy to shop and purchase.
Crowd Control Warehouse
A premier supplier of barricades, signage and other event items, Crowd Control Warehouse sought to upgrade its ecommerce platform to support a wide-ranging product catalog. Uncap successfully moved the business to Shopify Plus, manually converting and importing all of the vital first party data securely and completely.
Great Lakes Biosystems
Great Lakes Biosystems, provider of eco-friendly water treatment products for both professionals and consumers, needed a content upgrade to show consumers the breadth and efficacy of its product. Following a migration from Drupal to Shopify Plus, the website was redesigned for a stunning user interface, and a blog was implemented to help educate prospects about the products and their applications.
English Riding Supply
English Riding Supply is a premier provider of high-quality equestrian products, offering a wide range of riding gear, apparel, and equipment for riders of all skill levels. Renowned for its dedication to craftsmanship and comfort, English Riding Supply ensures riders and their horses have access to reliable and stylish essentials for an exceptional riding experience. We helped them in migrating from Magento and reinvented their B2B experiences, enhancing their digital presence and streamlining their business operations.
TotalBoat
TotalBoat, a brand renowned for its high-quality marine-grade products tailored for boaters and makers, sought to enhance its private portal capabilities to better engage strategic accounts and elevate the user experience on its website. To achieve this, the TotalBoat team partnered with Uncap to transition their site from WooCommerce to Shopify Plus, creating a more refined and curated customer experience.
Re-platforming can be a daunting task for businesses, especially those with many years of operating on legacy platforms. Uncap was built to take the pain and risk out of such projects, working tirelessly to deliver high-quality ecommerce sites while preserving all of your key data and information.
