Core Covers
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.
An inability for dealers to easily configure complex products with multiple dependencies (size, shape, color, material).
Lack of an automated system to calculate complex freight and parcel shipping rates, including dealer-specific pricing and accessorial charges.
A manual and time-consuming process for dealer registration, verification, and account management.
A gated catalog that required secure, login-protected access to dealer-specific products and pricing.
An intuitive, multi-step tool for building custom spa covers with validated options and real-time visualization.
A custom application that calculates complex freight and parcel rates with dealer-specific pricing.
Secure, login-protected access to dealer-only products, pricing, and resources.
An automated workflow for new dealer applications, review, and account activation.
A clean, professional, and user-friendly interface designed by BlueBolt to simplify complex B2B transactions.
BlueBolt designed and developed a comprehensive B2B ecommerce solution on Shopify Plus, explicitly tailored to the needs of Core Covers and its dealer network. The project focused on creating a seamless and intuitive experience, from product configuration to final delivery.
The new Shopify Plus site has transformed Core Covers' B2B operations, delivering significant improvements in efficiency, dealer satisfaction, and sales. By replacing manual processes with automated, integrated solutions, Core Covers can now provide a best-in-class digital experience.
