Challenges
- Runaway digital commerce implementation: costs, timeline and scope out of control, unable to launch
- Nascent digital organization; company relied on “off-line” strategies for pricing, inventory, customer acquisition, business process
- Digital commerce was not an integrated strategy with the rest of the business
Solutions
- Unwound relationship with an existing, ineffective implementation partner, led the selection process and contracted with a new partner
- Ensured a seamless handoff between implementation partners, performed a thorough code review to make sure new partner could ramp quickly, collaborated on a roadmap to launch and beyond
- Built a cross-matrixed digital team to support the launch and operationalization of the B2B web store
