We worked with Mag and Tyre New Plymouth to build Wheel & Tyre Warehouse, a self-maintaining ecommerce website that needs very little admin.
Key points
- Products, stock and prices updated from a supplier spreadsheet
- Search by vehicle for wheels or tyres
- Third-party vehicle database via API, updated annually
- Low ongoing admin
The brief
A wheel and tyre shop has thousands of product combinations, and customers often do not know which specifications fit their vehicle. The plan was simple: a website that largely looks after itself.
What we delivered
- Functionality that updates products, stock levels and prices from a remote spreadsheet maintained by the supplier.
- Two search areas where users find wheels or tyres by vehicle type.
- Filters that send API requests to a third-party database to show the right products, so customers do not need to know specifications.
- A database updated annually, so vehicles stay current without constant manual product updates.
