The challenge

Business Context and Challenges

The client, an established IT services provider, specializes in technologies for information management, data migration, and email archiving. They required a more robust online presence to showcase their diverse service offerings effectively. The existing online ordering system lacked clarity and efficiency, hindering potential clients from easily engaging with their services.

Project Goals

The primary goal was to enhance the user experience on the client’s website, ensuring clients could effortlessly discover services, place orders, and manage their projects. Additionally, improving the structure of their portfolio was crucial for showcasing their extensive capabilities.

The solution

Solution Overview

CMSMART delivered a comprehensive solution that focused on optimizing the client’s website for usability and performance. We redesigned their service catalog, making the information readily accessible, and implemented a streamlined ordering process that included clear categories and improved navigation.

Implementation Approach

The project was executed in several phases. Initially, we conducted a thorough analysis of the client's current website to identify bottlenecks in the customer journey. Next, we developed an updated site architecture and implemented the changes, followed by rigorous testing to ensure optimal functionality and user satisfaction.

What was built

  • Improved service discoverability through a clear and logical catalog structure.
  • Enhanced online ordering flow enabling easier selection of services.
  • Integrated options for artwork uploads and submissions.
  • Incorporated intuitive navigation allowing clients to quickly find relevant services.

How it fits the order workflow

This enhanced online ordering system fits seamlessly into the client’s existing workflow. Clients are now able to receive quotes, submit proof or artwork for approval, and manage production and fulfillment stages efficiently. Overall, CMSMART’s involvement transformed the digital footprint of the client, allowing them to effectively showcase their expertise and improve overall client interactions.

Outcome

The collaboration resulted in a vastly improved online experience for customers, with an enhanced ability to navigate the services and complete orders more efficiently. Customers experienced reduced friction when selecting options and uploading artwork, leading to a smoother and faster ordering process.

What the workflow covers

  • Clearer service discovery

    Turn a complex portfolio into a simple, navigable catalog so prospects can quickly find the right service—SharePoint solutions, archiving, migration, or integration—without confusion.

  • Faster inquiry-to-order flow

    Capture requirements in a consistent format, reduce follow-up questions, and move clients from interest to a confirmed next step more quickly.

  • Automatic routing to the right owner

    Send each request to the right internal person or team based on service category, reducing manual triage and improving response times.

  • Better client communication

    Auto-send confirmations and status updates so customers know what happens next—improving trust and reducing inbound “any update?” messages.

  • Fewer mistakes and missing details

    Standardize required fields and checklists so important details (scope, platform, timelines, compliance needs) aren’t lost across emails and calls.

  • Support for approval checkpoints

    Add structured steps for review and acceptance, helping teams manage delivery handoffs and keep records of approvals.

  • More consistent reporting

    Track demand by service type, common request themes, and pipeline status to make resourcing and planning easier.

  • Scales with your portfolio

    As you add new service packages or offerings, update categories and questions once—keeping the ordering journey consistent across the whole catalog.

What clients say

Catalog structure became much easier to navigate

We offer several specialized information-management services and prospects used to get lost. The updated catalog flow made it clear what we do and how to request the right service.

Works well for compliance-sensitive services

For archiving and migration work, having structured intake and clear approval checkpoints helps us stay consistent and avoid missing important details.

Smoother handoff from request to delivery

We now collect requirements in a consistent way and route them internally without manual forwarding. It reduced delays and kept ownership clear from the start.

Great template, needed small tweaks to match our terminology

The workflow did what we needed, but we adjusted a few category names and messages to match our service language. After that, it ran smoothly.
