Intelifaz has taken the lead on developing clean sheet innovations that have transformed the customer experience for the Copy & Print division
A seamless Cloud-to Manufacturing B2B and B2C Workflow for Print-on-Demand at Office Depot
Multiple independent difficult to understand and navigate product UI’s, none of which were integrated into the Office Depot B2C or B2B websites, all requiring separate logins.
This made the ordering process difficult and frustrating for the end user, and required extensive time consuming customer support from Office Depot employees to take orders and move them through to fulfilment.
None of the sites had SEO or visibility into customer behavior, limiting what was known of their online patterns. All of the information gathered about the process therefore was anecdotal.
Office Depot required an easy to use, fully integrated ordering and order tracking system for both B2B and B2C customers. A responsive software solution with new feature builds had to occur within weeks rather than years.
The ask To meet this challenge Intelifaz proposed a browser based app that would:
- A common UI that includes all products.
- Seamless user experience within the Office Depot website.
- Functionality that provide ease of use for consumers, stores associates and contract customers; all of whom have different levels of knowledge and experience with Copy & Print.
- Deliver a state of the art, highly interactive, visual web solution while supporting older browsers.
- Integrate into OD's own technology stack.
- Visibility of user behavior including data collection, SEO and analytics.
- A direct web to manufacturing workflow with Stores, Office depot Manufacturing plants and 3rd party providers.
Intelifaz partnered with Office Depot and their internal development and product teams to completely reimagine the Copy and Print customer experience.
Built an intuitive, easy to use visual configurator that was seamlessly integrated into the Office depot web sites. In tests, users were able to configure complex bound documents 4X faster than with the old method.
Conversion soared to unprecedented levels, as did the number of customers coming into stores to pick up after ordering Print online. The amount of support required from employees dropped drastically as did the costs to move orders through manufacturing.
This was an industry first at the time, integrating visually rich, highly interactive customer experiences with a legacy enterprise technology stack in a seamless cloud to manufacturing flow. Working hand in glove with Office Depot internal development teams a system of continuous improvement, responsive to market needs with bi-weekly software updates was established.
This positioned Office Depot as a digital leader in Print-on-Demand, in control of it’s customer experience and customer data with the ability to rapidly respond to market requirements. Integrated with Acumatica, the ERP that Quantum Leaf bundled with Quantum Leaf software for a complete business solution. A seamless seed to harvest experience.
Direct web to manufacturing workflow with manufacturers, and retailers. Plug in IoT components - networked lighting, water and fertilizer management, sensors for soil, temperature, humidity, etc. Machine learning component to analyze strain and cultivation data.
The unique, intuitive user experience provided by Intelifaz has been a key factor in attracting and securing new customers. Based on initial response and adoption Quantum Leaf expects to capture a major portion of the medium to large size cannabis growers. They also have been approached by industry leading sensor and irrigation companies to integrate their products with the Quantum Leaf IoT capable platform.
