Challenge

The challenge for Mitre Prostar was to relaunch multiple websites, including the company’s main sportswear site and police force and fire service sites, on a new platform that enabled easy administration of content, catalogue, promotion and merchandising.

Mitre Prostar was looking to elevate the look and feel of their brand online to mirror their market-leading status, and required an integrated solution with their back-end warehousing system to automate the order process.

Solution

Mitre Prostar’s multi-site B2C eCommerce solution, built on PureNet's award winning eCommerce software platform further strengthens the company’s market leading status. The sites support the company’s stockists in promoting and ordering Mitre Prostar kit and give potential buyers an easy to use, quick to navigate and efficient way to purchase via the company’s stockist network.

All of Mitre Prostar’s sites include a powerful ‘kit visualiser’ to allow customers to create, view and customise garments then personalise them with name, number, club badges and sponsor logos before proceeding to get a quote for the kit.

Results
Across all sites, Mitre Prostar has seen a marked uplift in online traffic, as well as a vastly improved brand profile online. The company’s stockists have reported a 26 per cent uplift in revenue and a 21 per cent increase in orders.
A stockist locator, powered by Google Maps is provided which shows details of stockists and enables results relative to the customer’s location.

Additionally, the solution is integrated into the company’s Microsoft Dynamics NAV Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system to enable inventory management, order fulfilment and on-demand manufacturing.

Having one point of contact during the development made communication very simple. We had a number of complex requests and PureNet found a way to accommodate them all. The finished sites are feature packed and look great, which is exactly what we wanted. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend PureNet.
