We have extensive experience working with Australian businesses across a range of industries, including Kate Nixon, Belle Vie Furniture, Horgans, and many more. Whether you’re a small retailer looking to expand online or a wholesaler managing complex orders, our team builds Shopify stores that make running your business simpler and more efficient.
Why Shopify is Ideal for Retail and Wholesale Businesses
Shopify is a powerful SaaS platform designed to take the stress out of managing an online store. By using Shopify, retail and wholesale businesses can benefit from a reliable and scalable eCommerce solution that requires minimal technical management. Shopify handles everything from security updates to server maintenance, so you can focus on what you do best—running your business.
Key reasons why Shopify is ideal for retail and wholesale businesses:
• Cost-Effective Solutions: Shopify allows businesses to achieve a high-quality, customised online presence without the high costs associated with complex web development. We create beautifully designed websites that reflect your brand while being mindful of your budget.
• Easy to Train Staff: With Shopify’s user-friendly interface, your team can easily learn how to manage products, process orders, and handle customer service. Our hands-on training ensures your staff is fully equipped to manage day-to-day operations with confidence.
• Built for Growth: Shopify’s flexibility allows your business to grow. Whether you’re scaling up your retail presence or managing an expanding wholesale operation, Shopify can adapt to meet your needs.
Tailored Shopify Solutions for Retail and Wholesale
At DAC Design, we build Shopify stores that are designed specifically for the needs of both retail and wholesale businesses. We understand the importance of having an online store that can cater to multiple customer types and manage complex sales channels efficiently. Whether it’s managing wholesale bulk orders or providing a seamless experience for retail customers, our Shopify websites are crafted to meet your business goals.
For example, our work with Park Bikes and Viridian demonstrates how we can deliver solutions that handle both retail sales and wholesale orders through a unified platform. These projects highlighted the importance of streamlining operations and offering a cohesive brand experience across both customer segments.
Seamless Integrations with Essential Tools
To ensure your Shopify store operates smoothly, we integrate it with essential business tools that make running your retail or wholesale operation more efficient. These include:
• Cin7 for Inventory Management: We integrate Shopify with Cin7 to manage inventory in real-time, providing accurate stock levels across multiple sales channels. This integration is especially valuable for wholesalers managing large orders and multiple locations.
• Klaviyo for Marketing Automation: By integrating Klaviyo, we help you build targeted email campaigns, personalised customer journeys, and improve overall engagement, whether you’re reaching retail buyers or wholesale partners.
• Gorgias for Customer Support: Deliver top-tier customer service with Gorgias, a customer support platform that integrates with Shopify to provide real-time insights into customer orders, shipping, and support history. This is ideal for managing both retail queries and wholesale accounts.
• Lightspeed and Shopify POS: Whether you prefer Lightspeed or Shopify POS, we can seamlessly integrate your in-store and online operations. This integration ensures your inventory, sales, and customer data are synchronised across all channels, providing a unified experience.
• Advanced Shipping Solutions: We also integrate with shipping aggregators like Intuitive Shipping, Shippit, and Starshipit, ensuring that your logistics and fulfilment processes are efficient and scalable. This is particularly useful for wholesalers dealing with bulk orders and complex shipping needs.
Omni-Channel Retail and Wholesale
The future of retail and wholesale is omni-channel. Shopify allows businesses to offer a seamless experience across all customer touchpoints—from online shopping to in-store purchases and B2B ordering. At DAC Design, we help you build an omni-channel strategy that connects your digital presence with your physical locations, ensuring that all sales channels are integrated and working together.
For businesses like Jeremyville and Velofix, we’ve implemented solutions that enable them to cater to both retail customers and wholesale clients through a single platform, ensuring consistency in branding and operations.
Supporting Family-Owned and Independent Businesses
DAC Design has a proven track record of working with family-owned and independent businesses in retail and wholesale sectors. Our hands-on approach ensures that your Shopify store is designed with your unique business model in mind, from custom product pages and pricing strategies to advanced wholesale functionalities. With more than 20 years of experience in retail operations and digital transformation, we offer a personalised, guided process to help you succeed.
Fox Factory Australia is one of the many examples of how we’ve helped businesses transition smoothly to Shopify, improving their online presence and streamlining their operations. Our partnership with Horgans, a leading furniture wholesaler, also highlights how we can build eCommerce solutions that support both B2C and B2B models on Shopify.
