How Prebeat Scaled B2B Ecommerce with a Flexible, Multichannel Platform

Introduction: Powering Growth for a Specialist Sound and Lighting Retailer

Prebeat, a specialist retailer of professional sound and lighting equipment, migrated from Visualsoft to Symphony Commerce in 2026 after outgrowing the capabilities of their previous ecommerce platform.

 


 
 
 

The Challenge

The Challenge

As their product catalogue expanded and their B2B operations became more complex, Prebeat needed a flexible, scalable ecommerce solution that could support premium brand merchandising, streamline multichannel selling, and meet the expectations of modern commercial buyers.

 

Their previous setup made it difficult to evolve quickly, limiting how products were presented, how efficiently channels were managed, and how confidently the business could scale.

Rigid Ecommerce Platform

Visualsoft lacked the flexibility needed to support an expanding catalogue and evolving commercial requirements. Making meaningful changes often required significant effort, slowing down progress.

Limited Product and Content Customisation

Prebeat needed greater control over how products were presented, particularly when showcasing premium brands and tailoring experiences for different customer types.

Template Constraints and Design Limitations

Fixed templates restricted the ability to refine the user experience or modernise the site without extensive redevelopment.

Manual Multichannel Management

Managing listings, pricing, and stock across multiple sales channels was time-consuming and prone to inconsistency, placing unnecessary pressure on the team.

Platform Reliability and Support Issues

Ongoing technical frustrations and limited support reduced confidence in the platform and created uncertainty around future growth.
