The Business Issue
Born Gifted came to us in September 2004 looking to replace their existing ASP solution which they were rapidly outgrowing. They required a solution that would fully cater for their needs and be flexible enough to evolve and change to help them become one of the UK’s most successful web-based Christening and Baby Gift providers.
The Solution

Provolve worked closely with the owner’s of Born Gifted to help streamline their business processes and automate many of their most time consuming tasks, leaving them free to concentrate on growing their business.

As well a reliable shopping cart and payment solution we introduced advanced customer functionality such as customer reviews, an enhanced keyword search and gift finder utility, full customer profile management, up-selling and cross-selling of products making it easier for customers to find products similar or complementary to those of interest. All through a fully search engine friendly and cross browser compatible customer facing front-end designed by Provolve.

From their back office online management console Born Gifted are in full control of their business 24/7.

Provolve’s solution gave them full control over Content and Product Management allowing administrative staff to take over from higher cost programming staff. The setup and addition of products, product categories and all aspects of the online store are managed online. This includes the setup of configurable or personalised gifts, the creation of customer feedback forms and all types of store promotions.

Complete order and facility management simplify the pick/pack/ship process giving structured processes and full traceability from order to despatch - even all the way through to post-sales customer care. Costs have been dramatically reduced by the recent implementation of an automatic re-order facility – contacting different external suppliers on an ad-hoc and regular basis.

A full Customer Relationship Manager makes it easier for them to keep in touch with their customer base including sending out regular newsletters and other sales and marketing communications, the success of which can be easily and instantly measured from the management console.

The Conclusion

Since the new Born Gifted website went live in December 2004 their business has rapidly grown and administrative costs have been drastically reduced. Thanks to a combination of excellent search engine results, fantastic customer services and word of mouth referrals their advertising spend.
