Business Challenge

Sunshine Metals managed much of their business through over-the-phone ordering and Excel spreadsheets. This manual process was time-consuming, error-prone, and inefficient. They needed a solution to modernize their operations, making the ordering process easier and reducing costs. The main challenge was integrating custom orders into the BigCommerce platform, which lacked inventory values for such orders. Sunshine Metals aimed to convert offline buyers to online customers while maintaining their unique custom order capabilities.

Solution

Fulcrum Commerce’s award-winning Creative Design team revamped the Sunshine Metals website with a fresh look and user-friendly features. They engineered a custom middleware solution to connect the BigCommerce platform with Sunshine Metals’ ERP system, BTS-IT. This allowed customers to order custom cut metal pieces online. Fulcrum Commerce also leveraged BigCommerce’s extensive B2B features, including immediate quote generation, gated pricing, purchase order acceptance, and advanced shipping options from multiple warehouses. This comprehensive approach provided an optimized B2B customer experience tailored to Sunshine Metals’ needs.
