01

— The problem

The problem.

A catalog of thousands of plumbing products across hundreds of categories was difficult to organize and even harder for contractors and distributors to search.

— How we helped

How did we help?

We built a custom sync mechanism tying the site to BrassCraft's internal system, then wrapped it in a back end the marketing team could run without engineering.

I

Custom content sync

Products, categories, locations, and media stay in sync with BrassCraft's internal system automatically.

II

Customized WordPress back end

A heavily customized admin gives the team control over nearly all aspects of site content, including media.

III

Findability features

A store locator shows where products are available, and supply lists let users save, download, print, or email selections.

03

— The outcome

The outcome.

The site organizes a sprawling catalog into something contractors, distributors, and homeowners can move through quickly — and the BrassCraft team maintains it themselves.

01

Simplified product discovery

Reorganized categories and search make thousands of SKUs approachable across hundreds of categories.

02

Always-current data

The custom sync keeps products, categories, locations, and media aligned with internal systems without manual re-entry.

03

Tools buyers actually use

The store locator and supply list features turn the catalog into a working tool for the plumbing trade.
