Case study: hammer-hardware - Zyber

Zyber worked with Mitre 10 to replatform the Hammer Hardware website to Shopify, one of the first brands in New Zealand to adopt Online Store 2.0.

The prominent brand, Hammer Hardware, with nearly 50 individually owned and operated franchises. realised they needed a new, fast brochure website to showcase their product range, which they were not doing on the current site, loosing millions of dollars a year, by loosing foot traffic to competition sites, that displayed products they too had in stock.
The current website was also not mobile responsive and didn’t drive any traffic into their stores, or they did not know how to track if it did?

The Zyber Solution

Our team worked with Mitre 10 to create a Shopify website aligned to their business goals; increasing brand awareness, creating an intuitive UX/UI and nurturing the relationship they have with the 47 stores nationwide.

Shopify OS 2.0 was a no-brainer for the Hammer Hardware website, with its speed and user-friendly interface their support team could manage on an on-going basis.

Cross-migrating to Shopify

Our skilled team of Shopify experts replatformed Hammer Hardware’s brochure website to Shopify OS 2.0 so they could use the functionality to showcase their vast product range. The new website is currently non-transactional, and allows customers to view stock and make inquiries unique to their local store.

A unique feature of the website is the out of scope, custom web form that our developers built for our client. Consumers can add products to their cart, click through to an enquiry form and their query will be directed to their local store. Zyber also set up a unique page for each of the franchise stores, linking them to a complex store locator so that users can get local, up to date information about their local store.

Enhancing UX

Customers can now view the full range of products across the brand catalogue. Zyber has indexed the entire online product range, so they can shop based on their needs, e.g. bathroom, lighting and kitchen.

The user experience (UX) has improved with Hammer Hardware’s migrating to Shopify OS 2.0. It’s super fast, easy to navigate and relevant due to the ability of in-house support being able to update it regularly.
