Usability

  • Gravely required a solution to access up-to-date inventory levels at each dealer location to facilitate online sales effectively.
  • Gravely sought to gain visibility into the customer journey by implementing custom analytics, enabling them to understand customer behavior and make informed decisions.
  • The project aimed to provide a platform for each dealer to view and manage orders, including validation, delivery, approval, cancellations, and returns, specific to their respective locations as orders came in through Gravely.com.
  • The website needed to be updated based on business-level needs, going beyond consumer-focused content, especially in forms and other relevant areas.
  • Gravely required a highly customized checkout process, considering the different use cases, such as residential versus commercial customers.
