Powering Centre du Rasoir’s e-commerce site with Shopify Plus
Mandate
In 2021, Centre du Rasoir entrusted Tink with a mandate to completely overhaul the company’s digital transaction ecosystem. The previous e-commerce platform was getting old, and in 2021, Centre du Rasoir was undertaking a major shift (new brand image, new store concepts).
Tink worked in close collaboration with Shopify Plus, which put a launch engineer at our disposal in order to execute the best practices and applications available to meet the different requirements and business rules of our client, defined by our teams.
Projects - Strategy
To best serve Centre du Rasoir’s business needs, a major audit was carried out to identify the following:
- The best technology partner for the new e-commerce platform: Shopify Plus
- Workshops to optimize e-commerce business rules, from the online ordering process all the way to delivery, in collaboration with Shopify Plus and Centre du Rasoir’s teams
- Work on the digital marketing plan (SEO, marketing automation, newsletter, etc.)
Projects - Technology
Tink was entrusted with the development of the new tools, as well as the technological transition from Magento, the previous e-commerce platform, to Shopify Plus:
- Akeneo PIM (product inventory management) migration and updating to the latest version
- Development of a connector to the ERP (or IMS, integrated management system) to ensure the seamless exchange of information
- UX/UI support to ensure an optimal online customer experience
- Launch, support, and development of the site to handle future updates
