The challenge

Context and Challenges

The large-format printing industry is highly competitive, requiring companies to provide not only quality products but also a user-friendly purchasing experience. The client, a prominent large-format printing and signage service provider, faced challenges in showcasing their extensive range of products and services online. Their previous setup did not effectively guide customers through the ordering workflow, which hindered potential sales and customer satisfaction.

Goals

The primary goal of this initiative was to enhance the client's online ordering process while improving the visibility and accessibility of their service offerings. By creating a more organized and visually appealing presentation of their products, we aimed to facilitate a smoother customer journey, reduce friction in the ordering process, and ultimately drive higher conversion rates.

The solution

Solution Overview

CMSMART implemented a comprehensive solution that restructured the client’s online presence. Key improvements included a well-organized catalog that clearly categorized services such as advertising banners, vehicle wraps, and lightbox signs. The integration of an artwork upload feature enabled clients to conveniently submit designs online, further streamlining the purchasing experience. Additionally, the platform was enhanced to guide users effortlessly through each step, from inquiry to proofing and final production.

Implementation Approach

The implementation involved multiple phases: initial assessment of the existing setup, redesigning the user interface to improve navigation, and testing the new ordering process to ensure functionality. Collaboration with the client throughout each stage was critical to align the project objectives with their business goals.

What was built

  • Online ordering streamlined for various products
  • Artwork upload capability for design convenience
  • Clearer product categories showcasing the full range of services
  • Improved customer flow ensuring easier inquiry submission

How it fits the order workflow

This new structure integrates smoothly into the client’s existing workflow, enabling a streamlined process from inquiry to production. Customers are now able to provide specifications and artwork uploads directly through the website, followed by a straightforward proofing phase before final production. As a result, this transformation not only enhances customer satisfaction but also positions the client for future growth in a competitive market.

Outcome

The outcome of this collaboration was a significantly enhanced online experience for customers. The product catalog became easier to navigate, improving service discoverability, while the online ordering workflow minimized customer effort in placing orders. Clients can now seamlessly transition from receiving quotes to submitting artwork, which has notably improved the efficiency of order processing.

What the workflow covers

  • Faster enquiry-to-quote

    Collects the right specifications upfront so your team can prepare quotes sooner for custom signage, banners, billboards, and display work.

  • Fewer missing files

    Centralizes artwork and reference uploads, reducing time wasted chasing attachments and preventing production delays.

  • Clearer service discovery

    Improves how customers find and select services across a wide catalog—helping them submit more accurate requests the first time.

  • Consistent customer journey

    Standardizes acknowledgements and next steps so every customer receives the same clear guidance on specs, files, and timelines.

  • Smarter internal handoffs

    Routes enquiries by category (e.g., vehicle wraps vs. lightbox signage) so the right team responds without delays or confusion.

  • Reduced manual admin work

    Cuts repetitive copy-paste and follow-up chores, freeing your staff to focus on design coordination, proofing, and production planning.

  • Better visibility for operations

    Keeps enquiries organized with clear statuses and ownership, making it easier to manage multiple jobs and deadlines at once.

  • Scales with growing demand

    Supports higher enquiry volume with repeatable steps and reliable notifications—ideal when expanding product lines or handling peak seasons.

Artwork collection is much more reliable

File uploads are handled in a more organized way, so we don’t lose attachments or mix up versions. The team can start design and production faster.

Helpful for multi-category signage work

We handle banners, lighted signs, 3D signage, and more. Routing and categorization makes it easier to assign and prioritize without confusion.

Solid foundation, needs minor tailoring

The structure is strong and improves consistency, but we still needed small tweaks to match our exact wording and internal steps. Overall, a big improvement.
