About Jollyes
Jollyes was founded in 1971 by establishing its first store in Enfield, with the idea of offering superior pet products along with best services and advice to pet lovers. Over a period of five decades, Jollyes has grown into one of the largest chains of pet super stores with over 70 stores, across the United Kingdom, as well as by setting up eCommerce store.
Challenges
In terms of business, Jollyes’ offline channels are performing remarkably well and revenue generated by these channels are beyond the financial targets through the years. But at the same time the eCommerce channel is not playing a major role and always lacking in achieving their established eBusiness goals.
The challenges, which we identified were the biggest concerns for mediocre performance of their online store:
The old website had following challenges,
- Deficient in leveraging unified product browsing and buying experience across the channels
- Outdated UI an uneven UX, create navigation chaos for buyers which resulted into higher number of customer churn rate
- Poor site performance and frequent site crashing; also cope with frontend level scalability issues
- Facing to reach out targeted mobile device audience
- Over engineered codebase with excessive custom modules and nonoperational 3rd party extensions
- Slackly integration with Inventory Management System which resulted in broken backed operational flow.
