The challenge

The primary objective was to create a fully functional online ordering system that simplified the overall purchasing process. This included facilitating design uploads, enhancing product customization features, and ensuring a clear representation of services.

The solution

Introduction to the Client's Services

The client specializes in customizable print services, subject to a diverse range of products, including business cards, flyers, posters, and signage. Their goal is to provide customers with a streamlined platform to personalize and order print materials easily.

Identifying Areas for Improvement

Initially, customers faced challenges in navigating the client's website, leading to difficulties in discovering available products and completing orders efficiently. The lack of structured categories for various print products also hindered the overall customer experience.

Solution Overview by Cmsmart

In collaboration with Cmsmart, the client underwent a comprehensive redesign of their online ordering system. Key improvements included:

  • Revamped catalog structure for better product categorization.
  • Streamlined ordering flow that reduces friction for customers.
  • Enhanced capabilities for users to upload artwork and customize their print orders.
  • A clearer service discovery experience to improve customer navigation.

Implementation Approach

The implementation involved several high-level phases, including user research, website restructuring, and iterative testing to refine the user experience. A focus on an intuitive interface ensured that customers could navigate easily from selection to checkout.

How it fits the order workflow

The client's workflow now follows a simplified process: clients can request quotes, submit artwork, and manage orders through a cohesive and user-friendly platform, leading to efficient production and fulfillment.

Outcome

The enhancements provided by Cmsmart facilitated a significant improvement in the client's online engagement metrics. Customers now enjoy a smoother ordering experience which has led to higher customer satisfaction and retention. The business's newfound ability to showcase its full range of services has made it easier for users to find and order desired products.

What the workflow covers

  • Clearer product discovery

    Organize print offerings into easy-to-understand categories so customers can quickly find business cards, flyers, posters, and signage without confusion.

  • Smoother ordering flow

    Guide buyers step-by-step from selection to checkout, reducing abandoned carts and minimizing time spent answering basic ordering questions.

  • Better artwork collection

    Encourage correct file uploads and capture key print details upfront, reducing missing files, incorrect specs, and repeated customer follow-ups.

  • Fewer manual handoffs

    Standardize how orders move from intake to proofing and production, helping your team avoid lost messages and inconsistent processes.

  • Faster proof-to-production cycle

    Support a more consistent approval path so proofs get reviewed sooner and production can start with fewer delays and fewer mistakes.

  • Consistent customer updates

    Send reliable order status messages to reduce “where is my order” requests and build trust during printing and fulfillment.

  • Improved operational visibility

    Keep a clearer view of what’s awaiting artwork, what’s ready for proof, and what’s in production—so you can plan workloads more confidently.

  • Scales for busy seasons

    As order volume grows, a structured catalog and guided ordering journey help you handle more requests without adding the same amount of admin work.
