The Challenge

Ruffin’s Pet Centre, a locally owned retailer in Ontario, has grown into the largest pet store in the Tillsonburg area. But despite their success, the pandemic created many challanges for their business.

With their doors now closed, they needed a way to showcase their products online and continue taking orders safely. However, with their items being too bulky to ship out, they were in need of cost-effective curbside pickup and local delivery options.

So they turned to TAKU eCommerce to move their physical store online and offer convenient fulfillment options.

The Solution

The Ruffin’s Tillsonburg team decided to look for a new ecommerce solution that would integrete seamlessly to their exisiting POS software, had social media integretions and built-in fulfillment tools.

It wasn’t long before the Ruffins team found TAKU eCommerce. With TAKU, Ruffin’s was able to launch a user-friendly website where their customers could easily place orders for curbside pickup or local delivery. On top of that, they used the TAKU eCommerce Facebook integretion to launch their own Facebook and Instagram Shop.

Since implementing an online strategy with TAKU eCommece and selling on Facebook and Instagram, Ruffin’s has seen increased sales growth and reach.
