Introduction: Leading experts in roofing and insulation since 2014
UK Flat Roofing is a premier nationwide supplier of specialist roofing and insulation materials, catering to both professional contractors and DIY enthusiasts. Originally established in 2014, the business partnered with Symphony Commerce to move beyond the limitations of its previous setup and build a more robust digital presence.
In this case study, we'll delve into how Symphony Commerce revolutionised UK Flat Roofing's website, addressing the challenges they faced with PrestaShop.
This transformation enabled the company to stay competitive, effectively manage their substantial B2B customer base, and capitalise on emerging opportunities, all while achieving the fastest time to value.
The platform faced significant challenges in managing the increasing traffic and sales volumes that came with the growth of UK Flat Roofing’s business. This struggle adversely impacted overall performance and diminished the company's ability to deliver a seamless and satisfying customer experience.

This complexity not only slowed down crucial processes but also restricted overall operational efficiency, hindering UK Flat Roofing's ability to respond swiftly to customer demands and adapt to market changes.
UK Flat Roofing began their ecommerce journey on PrestaShop, yet quickly encountered significant challenges. These issues hindered their ability to efficiently manage updates and restricted their operational efficiency.
Given its substantial B2B customer base, UK Flat Roofing discovered that PrestaShop did not offer the necessary tools and functionalities to effectively provide personalised pricing options and manage bulk orders in a streamlined manner.
