Hill Cross Furniture approached us to upgrade their digital presence

Hill Cross Furniture, the UK’s leading supplier of contract furniture and bespoke seating for the hospitality, commercial and healthcare markets, found that their existing platform was old and difficult to use, especially on mobile devices. They needed a modern eCommerce website that could handle complex product offerings, integrate with their CRM and improve the user experience.

Problems

What were the key problems to address for Hill Cross Furniture?

  • The existing website was built on an old platform that was hard to manage especially when it came to mobile usability and customisation. 

  • With over 10 years of data on the old platform migrating that data to a new system was a big task. 

  • The previous website struggled to integrate with their CRM (HubSpot) causing inefficiencies in customer relationship management. 

  • Hill Cross Furniture needed a website that could showcase their extensive and customisable product range including unique tools for clients to configure products to their specifications.

Solution

A custom Wordpress website to provide Hill Cross Furniture a digital platform designed for growth.

  • We built a new website using WooCommerce tailored to Hill Cross Furniture’s requirements. The platform was designed to be user friendly with improved search and filtering to help users navigate the extensive product range. 

  • We integrated the website with HubSpot so the website and CRM system talk to each other. This allowed for better management of customer data and more efficient marketing automation and customer engagement. 

  • We migrated a significant volume of product data from the old platform, to the new WooCommerce website through complex mapping. 

  • We introduced a “tabletop builder” so clients could configure their orders directly on the website. This was key to showcasing Hill Cross Furniture’s ability to offer bespoke solutions to their customers.
