SHOPIFY CASE STUDY
Allied Medical, a trusted name in New Zealand healthcare since 1998, has transformed their digital presence by implementing a comprehensive Shopify Plus solution that prioritises retail growth while maintaining robust B2B capabilities.
Challenge
Despite their strong market position in providing world-class assistive technology, Allied Medical's legacy website had become a constraint rather than an enabler. The outdated platform was difficult to maintain and lacked mobile responsiveness, creating friction points for both retail and B2B customers. They needed a sophisticated solution that could seamlessly serve their diverse customer base while maintaining the high standards their healthcare partners expect.
Solution
Working with CyberWorkshop, Allied Medical implemented a comprehensive Shopify Plus platform that focuses on enhancing the retail experience while maintaining essential B2B functionality. Key features include:
Custom Options App for complex product configurations
MYOB Exo integration with real-time inventory sync for retail customers
Multi-location stock management across three warehouses
Trade-specific pricing for B2B customers
Dedicated B2B portal with invoice history and reordering capabilities
Results
Since launching in May 2024, the platform has shown steady improvements across multiple areas:
Traffic and Engagement (June-November 2024)
28% increase in website sessions
14% increase in transactions
4.7% lift in revenue
Operational Efficiency
20-30% reduction in overall email marketing time
60% reduction in time for simple product listing emails
15-40% decrease in product loading time, depending on feature utilisation
Significant reduction in developer dependency for website updates
Enhanced Features
The new platform provides several valuable capabilities that the team actively uses:
Built-in AI text generation for product descriptions and email subject lines
Integrated image editing tools for background removal and image manipulation
Advanced SEO management features for Google titles and descriptions
Automated inventory management with overnight B2B pricing updates
