Transforming Restaurant Equipment Sales: West Michigan Food Equipment Success Story with Beedash

Building a Stronger Digital Presence

West Michigan Food Equipment (WMFE), based in Zeeland, MI, specializes in supplying restaurant equipment to customers across the region. With a focus on delivering quality products and outstanding customer service, WMFE recognized a growing need to expand their digital presence to enhance customer interactions and streamline their quoting process.

When a Website Holds Growth Back

WMFE’s previous website was restrictive, only capable of showcasing a few hundred products, which had to be updated manually. This limitation impacted their ability to attract customers, manage inventory efficiently, and handle inquiries effectively. Additionally, maintaining existing functionalities—such as blog updates, listing used equipment, and showcasing completed projects—without disrupting workflow was crucial.

Flexible Quoting Made Simple with Beedash

Beedash offers two types of quoting systems to cater to different business needs. WMFE selected the Webstack catalog website solution, featuring a streamlined “Request a Quote” button that directs customer inquiries via email, providing a simple and hands-off approach to website management. This solution is ideal for businesses aiming to effortlessly expand their digital presence with the option to easily transition into the more comprehensive Sellstack quoting system or even full eCommerce functionality in the future. The new platform, supported by a 20,000-product Corestack PIM subscription, significantly expanded WMFE’s online catalog capabilities, dynamically listing thousands of products with ease.

Jacob DeWeerd from WMFE highlighted the ease and reliability of their new solution:

“Building the site was a breeze. Our new site has the same vibe as our old one with very useful additions. We’ve experienced zero downtime since going live, and our workflow has remained uninterrupted.”

Key Features Included:

Enhanced Product Catalog: Automated management of thousands of products.
Seamless Transition: Migration of existing pages with enhanced functionalities.
Easy Quote Requests: Simple “Request a Quote” button facilitating direct email inquiries.
User-Friendly Interface: Simplified backend operations for efficient site updates.

Real Results: How WMFE’s Website Transformation Delivered Immediate Impact

WMFE’s new website delivered fast, measurable gains in both sales and customer inquiries. Jacob shared how it’s changed the way customers interact with their business:

“Our sales have been positively affected by our new site. We’ve seen higher contact rates via the ‘Request a Quote’ or ‘Contact Us’ forms compared to our old website, and many customers who reach out over the phone have mentioned viewing a product on our website just prior to calling us. We’ve even had walk-in customers mention our site, and it’s always great to hear their positive feedback in person.”

These results reflect the direct impact of WMFE’s restaurant equipment website upgrade with Beedash:

Increased Customer Engagement: A notable rise in customer inquiries via “Request a Quote” and “Contact Us” forms.
Improved Sales: Enhanced customer interactions with direct attribution of increased sales to website visits.
Operational Efficiency: Reduced maintenance and product update efforts, enhancing productivity.
Reliability: Continuous operation with zero downtime since launch.

He also noted that working with the Beedash team has been just as smooth as using the platform itself:

“The team at Beedash has been great to work with—extremely patient, helpful, and always responsive. Our go-to solution for any issue has become, ‘Just email Beedash!’ and that’s worked every time.”
