Classic Home is a manufacturer of high end home furniture. Traditionally, Classic Home sold its product to dealers and furniture retailers through its printed catalog and physical showroom. Sales transactions took place over the phone and customers were introduced to new products only when a new catalog was introduced or they made a personal visit to the showroom. Meanwhile, competitors were making their catalogs available through the Web, creating a convenient and timely way to merchandise products to customers. Classic Home needed to move in this direction too but wanted to take their customer's online experience one step further by giving them the opportunity to place orders through the Web site without needing to talk to a representative. Since many dealers spend working hours on the floor selling product, ordering inventory and scouting new product lines often gets pushed to off hours . By creating a fully automated ecommerce system, Classic Home customers could order product on demand, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Classic Home needed an experienced and reliable full service ecommerce developer it could trust to build its entire Web presence and ecommerce platform - the right way, the first time. Classic Home turned to Tridian.

Tridian's Ecommerce Development Process
First Classic Home needed a high end look and feel that effectively showcased their beautiful line of furniture. Tridian met with the Classic Home team to determine design tastes and goals. Tridian delivered a set of high quality creative compositions for Classic Home's review. The Classic Home team chose a design direction and the creative process completed about 2 weeks later when a final design was approved.

Tridian applied its highly modified version of the popular open source shopping cart, OSCommerce, to the Classic Home ecommerce platform. The base version of OSCommerce offers a a flexible product catalog system and adequate back end administration tools. Over the years Tridian has invested heavily in upgrading this base version of OSCommerce to include rich online marketing functionality such as search engine friendly product urls, coupons, gift-certificates, integration with Google's Froogle shopping search tool, a customer loyalty program with rewards points, layout flexibility for effective product merchandising, and enhanced sales reporting tools. Tridian further modified its shopping cart to support Classic Home's wholesale business requirements.

Ecommerce Results
Today Classic Home's ecommerce system is a vital part of its day to day operations. Jess Wall, Vice President of Operations says, "Within one week of going live our biggest custmers were placing orders through the new system. That made us really happy. But what made us even happier is that we were generating more business from our smaller customers and acquiring brand new customers at a higher rate. Today we can't imagine operating our business without this system." Tridian took the time to understood our needs as a business and used its expertise to build an ecommerce system that works for our unique operation. The result was a quick turnaround and a system that was immediately returned value."
