The Challenge

Zebra Technologies, a global leader in manufacturing and selling marking, tracking, and computer printing technologies, was burdened with an outdated B2B ecommerce system that made ordering cumbersome. This inefficiency forced most orders to be processed through fax or phone calls to sales and service representatives, creating unnecessary overhead. Despite having over 14,000 accounts, each requiring individualized catalogs and pricing, Zebra recognized the urgent need for a modernized B2B commerce solution.

The Solution

To address these challenges, Zebra formed a specialized team tasked with reimagining their online ordering experience and evaluated several global partners. McFadyen Digital was selected to architect and implement an Oracle Commerce Cloud (OCC)-based B2B ecommerce platform. This solution was integrated with Oracle CPQ Cloud to manage Zebra’s complex configurable items. McFadyen’s team of OCC and UX/UI experts worked closely with Zebra and other preferred partners, including AccelAlpha for CPQ implementation, to ensure a seamless and robust user experience built on a solid foundation.

The end result was a modern and intuitive B2B ecommerce platform that rivals the ease and functionality of top retail sites. Zebra successfully onboarded its vast customer base, significantly reducing the volume of fax and phone-in orders, and improving overall efficiency in the ordering process.
