Tuff Shed is a leader in storage buildings and garages in the US, and also wholesales their product lines through Home Depot stores across the country. While they have a robust ERP system used to track and manage manufacturing and purchase orders, they faced challenges in adapting it to new business needs. Additionally, they managed their websites, but they were outdated and content updates were cumbersome. Their manual Home Depot purchase order process was error prone and slow which hindered data accuracy and efficiency.
3Cloud partnered with Tuff Shed to conduct a thorough analysis of their operations, with a primary focus on optimizing their purchase order workflow for increased efficiency. As a result, 3Cloud proposed innovative solutions to streamline internal processes, one of which was the development of an in-house data management application. This application empowers the marketing department to independently manage and update prices, price versions, and product options, reducing reliance on the IT department for customizations and data handling.
Furthermore, 3Cloud partnered with Tuff Shed for the creation of a responsive website tailored for mobile users, providing their marketing department with agility in adapting to evolving market dynamics. To facilitate seamless communication with Home Depot, we implemented a Java-based interface for automating purchase order imports. Additionally, we designed APIs to foster integration between internal and external third-party systems, bolstering the efficiency of both the website and backend systems.
Partnering with 3Cloud has transformed Tuff Shed’s B2B data integration capabilities, strengthening their bond with Home Depot and boosting revenue. Their new mobile-friendly website empowers the marketing team to update content independently, while APIs enable expansion to third-party solutions, including a new customer-facing, 3D shed modeling tool.
Automation eliminated manual tasks, allowing Tuff Shed to redeploy staff strategically. They are now transitioning to an enterprise-level architecture that will scale as the company grows. Through their partnership with 3Cloud, Tuff Shed is poised for a highly profitable year ahead.
