Showcase: Edgeware Products

0 Comment(s) | published by Danny H. on Monday, June 07, 2010

Edgeware offers consumers high performance manual and electric knife sharpeners as well as food preparation kitchen tools. The product line was created for cooking enthusiasts looking for superior products with innovative designs.

FLEX360 designed and developed this website, and used LemonStand to power the back-end. Their development and management team were very pleased with the process and result.

After a long process to identify a flexible eCommerce solution that was a good fit, we implemented the LemonStand application and feel like we hit a home run. The features and functions fit our needs better than other solutions we evaluated and the ease to which we could expand the application made the decision a no brainer.

Marrying LemonStand's functionality to our custom designs was nearly seamless and allowed us to shave countless hours off the process of getting the site up and running. With very little training, our client was easily able to manage their inventory and orders through LemonStand's intuitive interface.

Their development team also had some things to say about working with LemonStatand.

LemonStand has ended our search for an eCommerce solution. We've tried a lot of other products out there including Magento, Spree and Trading Eye.

None of them come close to LemonStand in terms of features, flexibility and support. Edgeware needed a store locator. I was able to quickly create a module for this using LemonStand. The locator module allows the client to add their store locations through the admin. The location's address is geocoded for them after a new location is added. The locations can be searched on the front-end by address and/or zip code. The results are displayed within a Google map. LemonStand is really easy to extend.

We needed the ability to let our client upload product manuals that would be available to download on the frontend. I was able to create a module to do this with only a few lines of code and the prompt support I've received. The shipping options, payment methods and tax classes gave us every administrative option we needed. We encountered no limitations and this area of the admin was set up beautifully.

Some of my other favorite things about LemonStand is the software update process, code editor and the dashboard with Google Analytics integration.

Code Editor

The code editor was a big surprise. I honestly didn't expect to like it, but it was really easy to use especially in full-screen mode. I was able to implement our custom design quickly and efficiently.

Dashboard

The dashboard with Google Analytics has a major 'wow' factor. It's very easy to see what kind of traffic we're getting versus how many sales are coming in and you get this information immediately after logging in. You can add, remove and move dashboard items to personalize it to taste.

Software Update Process

The product update process happens behind the scenes once you initiate it through the admin. There are no files to download. It couldn't be easier to get up-to-date.There are so many more features that I didn't mention. They're all so well done and I could easily spend a lot of time on each.
