Bi-Mart
Company Overview
Home Hardware is a market-leading DIY Homeware owned by 1100 independently-owned dealer stores in Canada. It operates as a co-op model, where every store operates under individual ownership so each location curates its inventory and sets their own pricing.

The Challenge
As a trusted retailer with decades of in-store success, Bi-Mart found itself at a critical crossroads: more shoppers were beginning their journeys online, but the company’s existing platform offered limited visibility into inventory and no eCommerce capabilities.

- Empower Store Associates: A user-friendly interface helped employees efficiently manage storing, picking, and processing orders.
The Result
The BOPIS rollout delivered impressive results within just one year:
