RICH’s USA, a family-owned food company, is a D2C brand that used commercetools to overcome its business challenges and enliven its vision of “Born from Innovation”. This blog covers the business challenges RICH’s USA faced and how Royal Cyber helped to tailor a solution that met their exact business requirements.

With over 75 years of experience in the industry, RICH’s focuses on bringing creative solutions to the food sector and delighting both, food industry experts and customers. Since its inception, the company has been on the path of innovation and acceleration.

What Challenges Did RICH’s USA Face?

The company sold its food offerings through wholesalers and eCommerce platforms such as Amazon. Its official website only supported quotations and did not have standard functionalities such as “Buy Now” and “Add to Cart” options to sell its products. The website also featured minimal functionality and could barely drive traffic and convert them, resulting in reduced sales. They wanted to build a unified direct D2C eCommerce website to sell its products, boost sales, and simultaneously deliver a user-friendly customer-centric experience.

How Did Royal Cyber Help RICH’s USA?

To begin with, Royal Cyber’s professionals conducted an assessment to perform a gap analysis to examine the disparities between the existing website and the client’s expectations. The website stored data related to customers, products, orders, and shipping on different systems. For example: SAP for Inventory, OneSource for Tax, Stripe for Payments, and GreenRabbit for Shipping data. These individual systems used TIBCO, a middleware, to communicate with each other. The client also resorted to a different system to extract product-related information.

Our certified commercetools experts created a cohesive eCommerce platform using commercetools to deliver a seamless experience. We designed a unified system that stores and consolidates all the eCommerce data for efficient reporting and analysis. It also connects web frontends, backends, and third-party applications to offer unparalleled flexibility and agility. The backend seamlessly stores and receives information about products, pricing, payment, inventory, customers, cart, order, shipment, and notifications.

What Benefits Did RICH’s USA Reap?

  • Assured Scalability
  • Saved Time, Effort, and Resources
  • Improved Development and Maintenance
  • Enhanced ROI and Business Value
  • Reduced Management Costs
  • Increased Order Conversions
