Modernizing B2B eCommerce with Custom Configuration and Shipping

For over a decade, Core Covers has been the trusted name in high-quality, custom-made spa and hot tub covers for dealers across North America. Their commitment to superior materials and craftsmanship has established them as an industry leader. To support their dealer network effectively, Core needed a digital platform that could handle the complexities of configurable products and B2B-specific logistics. Core Covers partnered with BlueBolt to create a modern B2B Shopify Plus experience. The new platform streamlines dealer operations with a custom product configurator and a sophisticated shipping calculator, enhancing the user experience and driving efficiency.

The Challenge: Core Covers’ previous digital solution presented several operational challenges that limited their growth and dealer satisfaction. The ordering process for custom covers was cumbersome, and the existing system struggled to provide accurate shipping quotes for oversized items.

Key Challenge 1

An inability for dealers to easily configure complex products with multiple dependencies (size, shape, color, material).

Key Challenge 2

Lack of an automated system to calculate complex freight and parcel shipping rates, including dealer-specific pricing and accessorial charges.

Key Challenge 3

A manual and time-consuming process for dealer registration, verification, and account management.

Key Challenge 4

A gated catalog that required secure, login-protected access to dealer-specific products and pricing.
