Amac
Amac now has over 50 stores in the Netherlands and is the fastest growing Apple Premium Reseller in the country. The online channel is also very important. Although the majority of sales still take place via one of the physical points of sale, the interaction between online and offline is great. "The webshop attracts many visitors and is therefore a very crucial connecting factor," says
Om hun klanten optimaal te kunnen bedienen, is Amac in 2012 gestart met de transformatie van een pure offline speler naar een omnichannelbedrijf. Maar voordat de eerste stappen naar een omnichannelaanpak konden worden gezet, moest de webwinkel grondig worden gereviseerd. De functionaliteiten van de webwinkel waren op dat moment verouderd en het design paste niet meer bij het imago dat Amac als Premium Reseller nastreefde .
Amac needed an overhaul in design and functionality to achieve an optimal omnichnanel integration
Our solution
Several things were essential for selecting new online store software. Amac already worked with SAP's ERP system and was looking for a platform that could be linked to it. Mainly because of the ability to manage multiple store views, choosing Magento was the right next step.
The results
Since the introduction of the new site, Amac has been working with various portals. In addition to the regular consumer site, there is a separate portal for companies and one aimed at education. Through a special login, students and employees of educational institutions have access to a webshop with a customized range at a reduced rate. Parents of children who are using their iPad for education can also purchase the equipment via Amac at a reduced rate.
Another important starting point was providing insight into the stock. "New products are often scarce. If you have them in stock, it is already a USP. And if you can also indicate how many items you have and in what location, then you make it easy for the consumer." This is now available on the product page, whether items are available online or in-store, and how many are available.
With the help of an E-store Locator, a connection has been made between the webshop and all physical stores. All the potential customer has to do is enter his zip code. The system then shows which stores have the desired product. If the item is unavailable online, Amac can choose to take the item from one of the stores and send it to the customer from there. About 30 percent of online customers choose to pick up the order in the store.
