Osborne and Little Case Study
The Challenge
Osborne & Little wanted an improved platform where they could showcase their own designs, as well those of the designers they represent. The crucial requirement was that users should be able to easily order fabric samples after viewing any collection. The Osborne & Little staff also needed a streamlined and user-friendly back-end interface to manage their large and varied collection of quality fabrics, wallpapers and trimmings. Another important aspect was that the new site should be responsive, in order to create an optimised environment for mobile users.
The Solution
For this we recommended the Magento ecommerce platform that featured a highly-customised product filter, so users could easily see what is on offer from each designer.

This meant that Osbourne and Little could have the luxury of a unique site customised functionality that suited their business needs. Magento also offers website owners the option of having 3rd party integrations such as payment gateways, shipping automation and tag management tools.
