Challenge, solution & features
How we approached this build, what we built, and what shipped.
The challenge
SPACELAAB is an emerging leader in the online print-on-demand marketplace, targeting the Vietnamese market with a unique offering of customizable apparel. Their focus on delivering high-quality prints is complemented by the need to streamline the online ordering process and enhance user experience. Customers were looking for straightforward ways to select products, upload designs, and complete purchases without friction.
SPACELAAB aimed to improve the overall shopping experience for their customers, increase the ease of use on their platform, and enhance the discoverability of their product offerings. Essential goals included enabling simple order placements, facilitating design uploads, and creating a well-structured online catalog.
What we built
Cmsmart provided comprehensive support to SPACELAAB in reimagining their online storefront. The key deliverables included advanced online ordering systems, effective product categorization, and enhanced design tools that catered to user needs. These solutions were pivotal in positioning SPACELAAB as a go-to destination for custom apparel.
The process began with a detailed analysis of SPACELAAB's existing infrastructure followed by iterative development phases. Each phase focused on progressively enhancing the user interface, integrating back-end functionalities, and ensuring that the solutions align with SPACELAAB's business objectives. Testing and user feedback were integral throughout the development cycle.
Customers can now receive quotes, create digital proofs of their designs, and submit orders for production in a streamlined manner. The clarity in service offerings coupled with an intuitive ordering experience positions SPACELAAB to capitalize on growth opportunities in the competitive custom apparel market.
