Bonterra Companies is a Texas-based reseller specializing in air conditioning units, generating $2 million in annual revenue. With a small but agile team of 2-10 employees, the company uses Shopify, Shipstation, and WooCommerce to manage its online presence. Their innovative approach to reselling includes offering bundles and kits tailored to customer needs, but scaling their operations presented several challenges:
- Manual Workload: Before adopting SellerChamp™, all processes, including inventory and product listings, were managed manually via Excel.
- Scaling Issues: Expanding to new sales channels while managing existing ones was almost impossible without automation.
- Inefficient Customization: Most e-commerce solutions lacked the flexibility Bonterra needed to fit their unique business model.
The 4 Major Challenges Faced by Bonterra Companies
Before implementing SellerChamp™, Bonterra Companies faced significant challenges that threatened their growth and operational stability:
1. Manual and Time-Consuming Processes
Every day, Bonterra’s team spent hours juggling inventory in Excel, risking errors and lost opportunities. This method was:
- Highly error-prone.
- Inefficient, requiring significant time for updates.
- Ineffective for managing bundles and kits, which required frequent adjustments.
2. Limited Flexibility in Existing Tools
Their existing platforms (Shopify, Shipstation, WooCommerce) lacked the customization options needed for their unique business model. Competitors’ cookie-cutter solutions were rigid and couldn’t adapt to the specific requirements of managing bundles, kits, and multiple pricing configurations.
3. Difficulty in Scaling
Expanding to additional e-commerce channels posed significant challenges due to the disconnected nature of their tools. Managing listings and inventory across platforms became increasingly complex as they grew.
4. High Stakes of Operational Inefficiency
The stakes were high for Bonterra Companies, as owner Martin Evenson highlighted:
“If SellerChamp™ were gone, it would give me a 100% heart attack. It would collapse my business entirely.”
Without a comprehensive solution, Bonterra Companies risked scrambling for alternatives that wouldn’t provide the same level of support.
