How GG HIVE made Benjamin’s vision a reality
Benjamin took on an opportunity to expand their market reach and positively impact the
community by partnering with GG HIVE. Serving the WIC recipients during pandemic was
challenging, so the idea of an online platform emerged to serve them better. Unfortunately, there
were no options available for online WIC payments. This presented a significant hurdle, and
Benjamin sought our expertise to find a solution.
We developed a website based on his idea, which has become a powerful tool for WIC recipients.
Liberated from the constraints of phone orders, they can now seamlessly browse, select, and order
products online, all with the added convenience of doorstep delivery.
Our partnership with Cardknox facilitated secure and seamless payment transactions, but the
journey continues. The next milestone involves the implementation of EBT payments, pending
approval from the USDA.
GG HIVE made Benjamin’s e-commerce stand out for its dedication to catering to diverse
needs. We incorporated three unique features that deserve attention:
-
WIC- user servicing: Benjamin extended its delivery services to the areas where its
reach could benefit WIC recipients, substantially impacting their accessibility to essential
products. It's worth noting that about two in five babies born in the US benefit from WIC,
which indicates the potential influence of this project on a national scale in the future. -
Split-payment option: Introducing the split-payment feature enhances flexibility for
customers. This innovative approach ensures that customers can divide their payments,
making purchases more manageable and accommodating a broader customer base. -
Split-shipping option: Not every e-commerce platform offers split-shipping, a unique
feature that unlocks various delivery options. This maximizes business profitability and
provides customers with a novel and more personalized delivery experience.
What was happening “behind the scenes”?
Our team laid a strong foundation for development by creating distinct wireframes for the
platform and the website. Each wireframe comprises more than 30 screens. Afterward, we
finalized the UI mockups and developed a customized software system with comprehensive
commercial and user interaction capabilities at its core. We integrated all the essential
elements, including:
- The main online shop
- Client and admin e-commerce tools
- An order management system
- Payment solution
By including real-time tracking of orders, product updates, and order history, we enabled
Benjamin's team to generate valuable reports and statistics. Lastly, we ensured that the
employees and customers had separate interfaces with unique functionality and monitoring
features.
