25% of Dawn Foods’ orders are through their website

A year ago, Dawn Foods had no eCommerce website. Today, 25% of orders received now come through the site the company launched last July, and the average value of each online order is higher.

Customers are telling us that for the first time in their interaction with Dawn Foods they can see the entire portfolio of products. We keep hearing, ‘We didn’t know Dawn carried vegan certified pastry mixes. We were getting that item from another vendor!

Express added 5 functions in 3 months

Within three months of fully transitioning to MACH, Express added five major capabilities to their digital experience. Not only did the brand add Klarna for payments, but they also added a new version of the “Buy Online, Pick Up In-Store” (BOPUS) feature, significantly improved product detail pages, rebranded and restructured their loyalty program and integrated stylitics outfitting throughout their site.

These are pretty exciting things to do. To do them in such a short time is something we never would have been able to do on our old system.

Vistaprint added a new product line in under 3 weeks

Vistaprint was able to introduce a new product line with a dedicated online experience in less than three weeks. When COVID-19 hit, the company quickly decided to start offering both stock and custom print face masks to customers.

We had live prototypes up in a matter of a few days and were able to go live to customers in something like two or three weeks. We were not only able to pivot, we were able to pivot in a big, impactful way.

Harry Rosen experiences 0% downtime

Harry Rosen’s online business has reported 0% downtime despite their online business increasing by three times and experiencing a 150% increase in page views per session. The brand built its MACH platform in six months, launching it in the middle of the pandemic when its 14 brick-and-mortar stores were shuttered. Their digital platform is now their largest store.

Through holiday and the biggest periods and peaks we’ve ever had – there’s been zero downtime. That’s one of the most exciting things – that it is truly built to scale.
