Wicker Mobility – Associated Chemists (Wicker) Ltd
Wicker Mobility, part of Associated Chemists (Wicker) Ltd, have provided tools and everyday equipment to assist people with disabilities in Sheffield and the surrounding areas for over 25 year. With an extensive catalogue of products from household items to scooters and power chairs, Wicker wanted to expand their market to include all of the UK via an online ecommerce site.
Whilst Wicker’s previous website provided a wealth of information, there was no online trading capability. Their aim was to build an up-to-date website providing both information and to retail their products online. The other key element was to automate the sales order process so releasing staff to man their showroom in Sheffield.
With Wicker using Sage Line 50, we were able to provide a fully integrated solution from the new website through to the back-end systems. Working with a local web design company, we built the newly designed website, keeping in theme with Wicker’s current catalogue. Our Shopfront solution integrates directly into Sage Line 50, automating both the sales order process and stock management. We were also able to solve the issue of zero rate VAT for qualified individuals at the point of sale.
"After careful consideration and meetings with Aspidistra, it was clear that Shopfront would meet our requirements precisely and allow us to launch this new and important revenue stream with minimum impact on staff resources. Developing the site with Aspidistra was a rewarding experience with both companies working as one to produce the finished product. No suggestion ever seemed to be too much trouble and we are delighted with the finished site."
