Client Journey
Procurement Manager (Buyer)
- Search for the right grade. The buyer opens the site, types a product name or article number in the header search, and immediately sees matching items across categories — flat-rolled, long products, hardware, ferroalloys.
- Filter by specification. Product attributes — steel grade, profile dimensions, heat treatment, coating — act as layered filters. Narrowing 800 SKUs down to the exact specification takes seconds.
- Check price and availability. Each product card shows the price per tonne / piece and a short description. The buyer can add directly to cart without leaving the catalog.
- Place the order. Standard WooCommerce checkout: contact details, delivery or pickup, comment on the order. The manager receives an email notification instantly.
- Follow-up by phone. For large-batch or custom orders, the buyer leaves a callback request. The site confirms receipt and routes it to the sales team.
Content Manager (Admin)
- Manage the catalog without a developer. Products, categories, prices, and attributes are all editable in the WordPress/WooCommerce admin panel — no code required.
- Update pages visually. The visual page builder lets the team update homepage banners, about-us content, and news without touching HTML.
- Handle orders in one place. The WooCommerce order dashboard shows new, processing, and completed orders — status updates trigger automatic emails to customers.
Before & After
| Before | After |
|---|---|
| ✗ No website — buyers had to call or visit in person to request pricing | ✓ Full online catalog with prices — available 24/7 without a sales call |
| ✗ Product list existed only in spreadsheets, invisible to potential buyers | ✓ Thousands of SKUs published with filters by grade, dimension, and coating |
| ✗ Any content change required a developer or IT contractor | ✓ Managers update pages, prices, and products independently via admin panel |
| ✗ No order tracking — deal status lived in email threads and notebooks | ✓ WooCommerce dashboard centralises all orders with status and history |
| ✗ Import/export nomenclature mixed with domestic catalog — no separation | ✓ Category tree separates import, export, and domestic lines clearly |
