Case Study: Wordpress-Driven Inventory System

All Bus Exchange of Winter Garden, Florida does a whole lot of business locally buying and selling motor coaches. They were seeking to expand their market share onto the internet but they didn’t want a cookie-cutter brochure site. ABE needed a system that would grow along with them as their inventory grew on a daily basis. The ability to conduct updates on-site, 24 hours a day was a must.

With some clever tinkering and re-programming of Wordpress’ custom field modules, we were able to present ABE with an inventory system that they now fully operate. In fact, their secretary (who is in charge of inventory on the website) had absolutely no experience in maintaining a CMS before our collaboration.

Here’s a peek at what’s under the hood behind the scenes and what the end-user sees:

What You See:
All Bus Exchange Backend
What Your Audience Sees:
All Bus Exchange Frontend

It’s as simple as that. If you can send e-mail, you can be your own webmaster.

I think I just saw a few light bulbs go off out there! If a system like this is exactly what you’re looking for, contact us today and we’ll work together to get it done!

If you are a web developer and you’re interested in learning how to get something like this done using Wordpress…allow me to point you in the right direction!
