MINI CASE STUDY

2× increase in conversions over 18 months

Layer One aligned disparate information and systems across our environment, including our commerce site. They brought structure to a complex, multi-brand experience and made it usable.

Director of Global Digital Customer Engagement, Nidec

How this was achieved:

Aligning content, commerce, and product data across systems

  • Clear delivery cadence and expectations
  • Normalized product data structures across CMS and commerce
  • Unified search logic and result behavior across experiences
  • Defined product relationships and navigation patterns
How B2B systems actually work in practice
Content, commerce, and product data are managed as separate systems. The challenge is not the separation. It’s how they behave together across the experience.
Separate Systems Image
Separate systems by design Content (CMS/DXP), commerce, and product data are managed independently
Breaks Image
Behavior breaks between them Search, discovery, and structure don’t carry cleanly across content and transactional experiences
Poor Experience Image
The experience reflects that gap Customers feel it in navigation, product detail, and quoting flows

How we improve your
B2B system performance

We focus on how content, commerce, and product data behave across systems. The work is not about replacing platforms. It’s about improving how they interact so customers can find, evaluate, and buy more effectively.

  • Search and discovery – Improve how products are found across content and commerce by aligning search behavior and structure.

  • Product data – Standardize, structure and enrich product data so it works consistently across systems.

  • Buying experience – Align navigation, product relationships, and workflows to how customers actually buy.

  • Continuous improvement – Measure performance and refine the system over time.

START WITH A WORKING SESSION

We begin by looking at how your current systems behave in practice. This includes your ecommerce platform, CMS/DXP, and product data.
Steps:
  • Review how systems interact across the experience
  • Identify where search, data, and structure break down
  • Define a focused path forward
Most sessions take 45–60 minutes and focus on your current environment. No prep required. We’ll guide the conversation. If the situation calls for an engagement, we will discuss how to transition you to our Client Success Framework.

CLIENT SUCCESS FRAMEWORK

The Client Success Framework is Layer One's innovative approach to delivering high-quality software and consulting through an iterative, collaborative process. We regularly produce results, keeping your eCommerce solutions tightly aligned with your business objectives.
This method reduces risks by adapting to changing ideas and market conditions, enhances flexibility, and keeps your eCommerce strategy on track with continuous feedback and clear communication. It's about delivering value consistently, not just at the end of the engagement.
