The Russell Marine Products website was originally built on the Volusion eCommerce platform. While Volusion was suitable at the time, it soon became a limiting factor as RMP made plans for future growth.
Volusion didn’t offer the necessary integration opportunities, lacked automated order fulfillment capabilities, was not mobile-optimized, and prevented RMP from implementing their desired custom functionality.
Russell Marine Products knew they needed a new eCommerce solution and had already identified Magento as a leading contender. They reached out to IronPlane specifically for our expertise with the Magento platform.
IronPlane’s first goal was to validate Magento as the best choice given RMP’s functional and business requirements. As a partner to both BigCommerce and Magento, IronPlane was well-suited to compare the two platforms to determine the best long-term solution for the Russell Marine Products business.
After comprehensive requirements gathering, Magento became the clear choice. IronPlane designed a personalized migration and implementation plan, which involved:
Designing and developing a mobile-optimized Magento site with a modern look, efficient user experience, and fast page speeds
Implementing this new site on IronPlane’s Colibri Foundation leveraging the open-source Alpaca Magento theme
Custom data migration
Sourcing a hosting partner and completing the setup
Redesigning and optimizing complex integrations with each integration partner
Implementing shipment automations
A mobile-ready, highly usable, and SEO-friendly website
Improved operational efficiencies resulting from successful integrations, which reduced manual data management and solved the challenging commission structure issues
Created pre-built reports to analyze their sales at-a-glance
Set the stage for their next project: Boat Builder
Conversion rates increased by over 27%
Average page load time decreased by over 54%
