The Brief
Vuba, a fast-growing manufacturer of resin driveway systems, needed its B2B Shopify store to work harder. The goal was direct: streamline daily operations, cut unnecessary manual tasks, and give installers and distributors a clear, efficient way to place and manage orders online. Their trade customers expected a frictionless digital experience — quick reordering, transparent shipping, and the ability to manage accounts without going through account managers.
To meet these expectations, Vuba wanted a fully optimized B2B Shopify build that improved UX, automated key workflows, and aligned the buying experience with how trade users actually shop.
The challenge
Vuba’s previous setup created drag on both operations and customer experience. Ordering relied heavily on offline communication and manual input from account managers, slowing fulfillment and introducing unnecessary operating costs. Multiple disconnected systems created inefficiencies, and customers had limited visibility into pricing, shipping, or past purchase data.
The consequences were predictable:
– Slow order turnaround
– Increased admin workload
– Poor repeat-order experience
– Inconsistent shipping accuracy
– A general lack of self-service capability
Trade buyers wanted speed and clarity. Operations needed automation. The existing Shopify environment couldn’t deliver either without a purposeful rebuild.
The Kopen Digital solution
We delivered a custom B2B Shopify build engineered for efficiency, accuracy, and ease of use. Core functionality was rebuilt to enable trade customers to order independently, while backend workflows were automated to drastically reduce manual admin.
Key Components of the Solution
Custom B2B Functionality
We expanded account capabilities to support fast reordering, clear visibility of order history, tailored pricing structures, and simplified account management — eliminating the need for constant offline intervention.
Automated Workflows with Shopify Flow
Shopify Flow was deployed to automate key processes such as order tagging, customer segmentation, approvals, and fulfillment routing. This reduced operational overhead and ensured consistent handling of B2B orders.
Dynamic Shipping Calculator & Custom Checkout
A bespoke shipping calculator delivered accurate shipping rates based on product type, quantity, and location. The checkout flow was reworked to reflect different trade requirements, ensuring speed and clarity at the final step of purchase.
UX Enhancements for Higher Conversions
Navigation, layout, and product presentation were refined to match how installers and distributors search, compare, and buy materials. The result: faster decision-making, fewer errors, and stronger repeat business.
A Fully Self-Service Ordering Experience
The upgraded platform empowered trade buyers to operate independently—placing orders, managing shipping, checking accounts, and reordering in seconds.
