“We knew many of our customers frequently purchased ink and toner, office supplies, break room and cleaning products and a subscription program was a powerful way to grow our business by increasing the frequency of their purchases and customer retention rates,” said David Redlich, Co-founder and CEO of ReStockIt.com. “Like most retailers, providing the best possible customer experience with ReStocker Auto Delivery was essential for us to move forward. The complexities of ‘getting this right’ were obvious and OrderGroove‘s subscription platform coupled with their expertise allowed us to do so easily and quickly in a matter of weeks. So far the customer feedback and response have been terrific and we’re very excited to expand to other parts of our business.”
Founded in 2004, ReStockIt.com is on the cutting edge of e-commerce and was recently named the 3rd fastest growing online retailer in the US by Internet Retailer magazine. The company partnered with OrderGroove to launch a subscription program in the highly competitive office supplies market. OrderGroove’s RetentionEngine Platform was integrated and implemented on ReStockIt.com’s website to easily offer shoppers the opportunity to turn any purchase into a subscription that the customer has complete control over and managed within a shopper’s existing account. This includes clear options for changing a delivery schedule, including accelerating orders, skipping orders or opting out of a subscription.
