Instant Shade Umbrellas' wholesale website has been live on the TOTECS platform since 2012 and have recently moved from the trade interface to an MWD website. Their upgrade is a story that we would love to share with the community. 

What has MWD website done for Instant Shade Umbrellas? 
Instant Shade Umbrellas is a family-owned and family-run business with more than 20 years of experience in providing shade solutions in Australia. They are Importers, wholesalers and distributors of quality umbrella and shade solutions. TOTECS provided Instant Shade Umbrellas with an up to date website in the form of MWD website for their business which was a fully implemented eCommerce website with a Mobile Responsive Design that reduced the number of orders that their customers were submitting via phone and email. The intuitive presentation of the product catalogue make it an ideal experience for customers which ultimately increased the sales.

“We have had a partnership with TOTECS for more than half a decade now, which started when we felt the need to upgrade our platform with more modern web technology. Initially, we faced challenges integrating TOTECS with our accounting system as it is not a popular one, however the user-friendly design of TOTECS platform provided a breakthrough to these challenges resulting in more users visiting and making purchases from the Instant Shade Umbrellas wholesale website. The TOTECS team assisted the implementation in a very helpful manner and post-implementation services are great. I would recommend TOTECS to businesses that are looking for a manageable platform for their continuously changing eCommerce needs and requires quality assistance with their back-end processes.” – Michael from Instant Shade Umbrellas.
