E-Commerce & Supply Chain Barriers
Wells Lamont faced significant operational challenges due to outdated e-commerce infrastructure and manual processes that could no longer support their growing global business demands.
Complex Online Product Navigation
Customers struggled to locate the right glove among a vast selection, as the catalog used industry classifications rather than glove type.
Manual Order Processing
Outdated manual processes for order handling led to inefficiencies, slow fulfillment times, and increased human error.
Limited E-Commerce Personalization
The absence of automated product recommendations meant potential sales opportunities were often missed.
Inventory & Supply Chain Visibility Issues
Without real-time inventory tracking, managing stock levels effectively became challenging.

A phased approach to e-commerce modernization, from discovery to full deployment and AI integration.
