Delivering on Watco's objectives
Due to the nature of Watco’s product range, combined with the heavy focus on educational content, the Watco project was extremely complex.
Despite this, their new website successfully delivers on the objectives, providing best in class eCommerce, improved UX, exceptional customer service at point of order, and clear market positioning of product ranges.
The Watco site has now been rolled out in multiple countries and languages, including France and the UK, with more to follow.
“9xb worked with us from very early in the project, helping to define our strategy and objectives, and taking the time to understand our products and data to ensure successful merchandising across sites. The new websites successfully deliver best in class eCommerce, improved UX, exceptional customer service at point of order, and clear market positioning of product ranges. The ability to roll out new sites quickly is key to growing the Watco brand.”
