Canac is the first independent hardware and construction materials chain from the Quebec City region with over 140 years of experience. They offer over 20,000 products across 24 stores and has distinguished itself from its competitors through its personalized customer service and competitive prices. Canac also separates itself through its service and expertise aimed at assisting entrepreneurs and do-it-yourself home builders. The company stands as a pillar in its domain and a reference of quality to those working in construction and renovation.
With an ageing platform with performance issues, Canac wanted a new website as part of its cornerstone to start building a complete digital roadmap. They wanted a solution powerful enough to host a product catalogue with more than 20 000 SKUs and facilitate the customer journey across their website.
The Execution
Magento Commerce Cloud was the right choice for Canac. A powerful platform that gives Canac the potential to create unique, easy, and secure shopping experiences for its wide range of SKUs. We focused on user experience by facilitating product search and real-time inventory information for their customers.
The End Result
Since May 2020, and just in time for summer, Canac was able to take advantage of its new website hosted on Magento 2 with all the new benefits that include:
01. Improved Inventory Management
Optimization of the platform with a search tool to manage multiple inventories simultaneously. Implementation of Magento 2 Multi-Source Inventory (MSI) to locate products by store and optimized to the nearest location.
02. Easier Product Management
An easier and faster way to create and deliver compelling product experiences, and management of all product information with the direct implementation of Akeneo as Product Information Management (PIM).
03. Faster Website Performance
Overcoming peak traffic and performance issues with the deployment of Magento Cloud as a robust platform.
04. Solid Backend Integrations
Fluidity in the user experience: detection of the nearest store, synchronization of inventories with MSI technology, and connection of their ERP.
05. Improved SEO Performance
An increase in traffic by working on organic referencing (SEO).
