The Vision
Expanding B2B Horizons
Barbeques Galore help their customers to create special experiences to deliver on their purpose of bringing people together around the flame. With the success of their existing B2C site, this ignited the desire to create an online experience tailored to their B2B customers. Barbeques Galore wanted to explore a cost-effective B2B solution which would allow them to start selling quickly and also trial their B2B offering in emerging markets like New Zealand.
The Solution
B2B Solution on BigCommerce
Scalability
Barbeques Galore had an existing B2B system however it did not allow them to scale. BigCommerce B2B enabled the ability to add storefronts, regions, and channels from one platform. Currently, the site is multi-currency in AUD and NZD.
Time To Market
This rapid launch time was possible due to both Amblique’s agile MVP methodology, and BigCommerce’s modern SaaS architecture, which comes with rich, out-of-the-box B2B features.
Frictionless Paths To Purchase
BigCommerce B2B has the benefit of one-click, pre-built tools including immediate quote generation, user permissions, and re-ordering for a best-in-class B2B customer experience.
