Aubuchon Ace Hardware

Aubuchon Hardware, now Aubuchon Ace Hardware, is a hardware retail store group that consists of more than 100 physical locations in the United States. In their store group they have 10+ retail store chains, including Ace Hardware stores. They chose Magebit based on our excellent track record with PWA Studio stores. After the project the cooperation grew into a long and strategic partnership with many other projects.

About the project

Aubuchon Hardware had their website built on Adobe Commerce Cloud but their board was not entirely satisfied with it. The company is ran by very ambitious professionals for whom mediocrity is not acceptable. So they had set their eyes on a progressive web application rebuild so the whole shopping experience feels like a mobile app and is very easy and intuitive.

The role of Magebit
Where digital magic comes to life

The project was very interesting and challenging so we took it on and continued the journey of improving the shopping experience for millions of users globally. Even though it was demanding, the success of the project paved the way for a very close relationship moving forward.

  • Strategic guidance
    While the client had a very specific ambitious vision, our collaboration on strategic decisions, technical solutions and design principles created a success reaching millions of end users.
  • Scalable app-like design
    Designing a well-converting online store that needs to work with tens of different visual identities and scale moving forward is not an easy ask, yet no task is impossible with us.
  • Engineering for complex business requirements
    Integrating hundreds of physical stores with large product catalogs can be a challenge. We developed and integrated all necessary solutions, and simplified what was possible along the way.
  • Marketing for growth
    A wide suite of marketing services that turned into ongoing growth efforts, spanning social media buying, Google ads, Search Engine Optimization and much more.
