Leaders in Household Appliances – Topo Centras

topocentras.lt – the largest technology and electronics retail chain in Lithuania, is characterized by one of its core business values: prioritizing an excellent customer experience. As this guiding principle has been familiar to us, it has led us from the very beginning of our collaboration. With the rapidly changing market, advancing technologies, and growing customer needs, we have consistently aimed to position “Topo Centras” one step ahead in the market.

Since our partnership started in 2016, we developed a more innovative type of e-commerce system, ensuring steady growth in the digital space. The primary priorities of the project were significantly faster system performance, seamless support for a large number of products, and transformation of the user experience. The initial updates implemented increased sales in the very first month of operation.

Project Task

To achieve noticeably higher e-store performance and expand growth opportunities, we needed to fundamentally change the “Topo Centras” system in 2019. Due to the large number of e-store products and high visitor traffic, implementing such changes became a significant challenge. At the same time, the well-known system had established visitor behavior patterns, so it was important to maintain them and offer users a familiar shopping experience.
  • Ensure stable and fast system performance with expansion capabilities for the future
  • Continuously improve e-store performance using additional integrations and tools
  • Maintain the website design to reflect modern trends and optimize conversions

Design and User Experience

Due to the specifics of its business, the ‘Topo Centras’ online store has a particularly large amount of information – different product categories, extensive product specifications, marketing offers, purchasing guides, and more are all included. The complexity of this information became one of the biggest challenges when planning the user interface. The potential buyer not only had to quickly absorb the presented content but also seamlessly reach the main goal of their user journey – purchasing the chosen product.

“Not many can boast such a high volume of visitors and a wide dynamic of already established purchasing habits, as ‘Topo Centras’. We realized that in order to successfully integrate new functionalities, we couldn’t create a radically different operating system, so prior experience and the reasoning behind decisions became very important. Gathering, documenting, and not missing out on all this information was one of the unique challenges of the project.”

Project Launch

The synthesis of these measures allowed “Topo Centras” to elevate electronic commerce to the next level and open up additional growth opportunities for the future. A more efficient system, next-generation search, and more effective user interface solutions ensured that we could see increasing sales already in the first month.

“Topo Centras” emphasizes top-notch customer experience in its company philosophy, so the design improvements ensured smoother browsing in both the full and mobile versions of the site and simplified the shopping process.

A smooth project start and continuous communication with the client laid the foundation for long-term cooperation.
