JML Singapore, a pioneer in home shopping, resonated in living rooms across the nation for decades. However, as the digital landscape evolved, their e-commerce platform, a relic of a bygone era, struggled to keep pace. Conversion rates stagnated, customer satisfaction waned, and sub-brands lacked an online presence distinct from the JML umbrella. JML knew it was time for a radical transformation.
The
Challenges
Clunky Platform
The existing platform felt like a static brochure, offering a far cry from the dynamic and interactive experience customers expected online.
Integration Hurdles
JML’s beloved SGData POS system, vital for real-time inventory and order fulfillment, lacked seamless integration with the e-commerce platform, creating operational inefficiencies and frustrated customers.
Limited Payment Options
The platform relied solely on traditional credit cards, missing out on a growing segment of tech-savvy shoppers who preferred alternative payment options like FOMO.
Sub-brand Neglect
JML’s diverse sub-brands, each with unique offerings and personalities, were relegated to generic product listings, hindering brand differentiation and customer engagement.
Personalized Disconnect
The platform lacked the capability to offer personalized recommendations and promotions, leaving customers feeling like they were just another number.
The Solution
Headless Revolution: JML embraced the power of headless technology, a revolutionary approach that decoupled the front-end user experience from the back-end functionality. This provided the flexibility and agility needed to address their challenges:
Seamless SGData Integration
A custom API bridge was built, enabling real-time inventory and order synchronization, ensuring customers could replicate the thrill of TV shopping online without the worry of stockouts.
FOMO Integration
Recognizing the growing popularity of FOMO, the platform was integrated with this alternative payment system, attracting a new generation of tech-savvy shoppers and increasing average order value.
Avocado Point Loyalty Power
The existing Avocado Point loyalty program was seamlessly integrated, allowing customers to earn and redeem points online, fostering deeper engagement and repeat purchases.
Sub-brand Liberation
Dynamic landing pages were created for each sub-brand, showcasing their unique personalities and offerings, empowering them to connect with customers on their own terms.
Personalized Promotions Engine
A sophisticated AI-powered engine was deployed, creating tailored promotions and recommendations based on individual customer preferences and purchase history, delivering a truly personalized shopping experience.
The Results
