Sophisticated Database Solution for a National Geosythetics Company
The Challenge
US Fabrics was already an industry leader in the geotextiles, geogrids and geomembranes for the construction industry with top ranking SEO.
The existing website had thousands of products with intricate details and complex specifications had become difficult to navigate and maintain.
US fabrics needed a way to provide clear access to information and build on their existing SEO success. They also wanted a way for adminsitrators to maintain the data and customers to organize the material specs for their projects online and easily obtain a custom quote.
The Solution
Centogram discovered and migrated decades of content into a new administrative interface that works alongside a new and lightweight web and app solution that is simple to use and incredibly easy to maintain.
A new client portal was created with features like custom binders to organize project specs, request an online quote, and access frequently referenced material specs and state requirements.
The portal also helps build a database of potential clients for a myriad of other online marketing and logistical efforts.
