Weaveability were selected because of their experience and ability to incorporate the website directly within SAP, their innovative approach to the eStore layout incorporating Malvern’s branding requirements and, most importantly, because of their team’s working approach.
The previous Malvern Store website was built as a proof of concept to find out if our customers would buy consumables online. This was achieved at a very low cost, so whilst the concept was proven, it also meant that we had a very basic store that was neither user friendly nor a full product range. The it.mx customer portal delivered by itelligence* exceeded all our expectations. itelligence*’s team were great to work with; they were very responsive, they listened to our requirements and provided solutions even when we didn’t quite know what we wanted.
