Unpacking Innovation: ASC Direct's Journey to a Better Website

We know that in the bustling world of business, every second counts. You can’t waste even a moment on anything that won’t directly benefit the people you serve. That's why, late last year, ASC Direct embarked on an exciting journey to revamp our website and enhance your packaging shopping experience. Last month we pulled the trigger, so you can see what we've been working on. We're thrilled to clue you in on the amazing upgrades we've made, all with the goal of making your packaging procurement a breeze. So, sit down, grab a brew and join us as we take you through the highlights of our recent website update.

Why the Update? Because You Deserve the Best

As champions of tailored solutions for your packaging needs, we understand the importance of convenience. With this in mind, we've introduced a few new features designed to make your life easier. We’ve streamlined the reorder process so it’s not only possible to order previous containers, but you can also tweak them after readding the previous order to your basket. Our updated website now allows you to not only create bespoke, made-to-measure boxes but also name them at various stages of the ordering process, for easy retrieval later. This means you can have a neat catalogue of your go-to packaging solutions, right at your fingertips.

No more searching through your records or racking your brain trying to remember which box dimensions worked best for that special project. With just a few clicks, you'll have your trusted packaging items back in your cart and ready to ship.

Our Box Builder now offers additional options, such as adding hand holes for easier lifting and more vibrant colour choices that will include seasonal patterns around the holidays. Because when it comes to your brand, every detail matters.

A Collaborative Effort with Web Development Gurus

So, how did we make all these upgrades possible? We teamed up with the web development experts at 5874 Commerce to share the load. They not only restructured the architecture of our Box Builder backend but also spruced up our front-end design. Our collaboration was a blend of creativity and technology, resulting in a modern, minimalist design that keeps the focus where it belongs—on your packaging needs.

Our close partnership with the 5874 Commerce team allowed us to create detailed project specifications. We wanted to build on the existing features you loved from our old website, while adding exciting new capabilities. Don't worry, we made sure that none of your valuable historical data would be lost in the transition. You can still access all your past orders, ensuring a seamless transition to the updated platform.

Josh Chamberlain, our main point of contact over at 5874, had this to say.

"Working with ASC has been a pleasure for the team here at 5874. We've been on a long journey with the team, and it's always been paramount that the team at ASC strive to provide the best options and functionality available to their customers and really stay ahead of the game in their offerings, the bespoke box builder, is one of their biggest assets, and one of the reasons we chose to do work with ASC as we like, exciting, complicated and game changing projects like this."
