International Paper is one of the world’s leading producers of fiber-based packaging, pulp, and paper. They needed to develop a completely new B2B shopping experience to replace the old and outdated purchasing flow.
This project required months of research, on-site design workshops, and a variety of UX deliverables, such as customer interviews, personas, secondary research, sketching, wireframing, etc.
The Result
We created a new B2B channel called International Paper Shop that looks, acts and works like a B2C eCommerce experience. The expereince helps alleviate any stress for purchasers – it provides one place to place and manage all aspects of an order.
Define
Through our interviews we found that order placement and management, inventory checks, and quoting are primary functionalities users needed, so we wanted to allow users to access that without hesitation or extra clicks. With thousands of products, we introduced a brand new catalog browsing experience, shown below.
