Oneida Relaunches Website on the LCG Commerce Powered by Magento

Steve Susina • May 24, 2013

ONEIDA, NY – Oneida, the #1 tabletop brand and leading direct seller of flatware in North America, relaunched its ecommerce site on the LCG Commerce platform powered by Magento, resulting in a thirty percent increase in fourth quarter traffic.  The move stems from Oneida’s ambitious goal to continue to outpace the market and increase its share of the market, and Magento’s platform was chosen as the foundation to foster this growth in Oneida’s direct-to-consumer business.

Oneida’s partnership with Chicago-based Lyons Consulting Group allowed easy redesign and development of Oneida.com on LCG Commerce, based on Magento Enterprise, a popular open source e-commerce platform. Magento’s ease and customization capabilities enabled Oneida to meet its planned Fall 2010 launch date, and its operational expertise bolstered Oneida’s investment in this SAP ERP system. Lyons Consulting Group provided tight integration between Magento and Oneida’s SAP system enabling seamless synchronization, including frequent updates, with the extensive Oneida product catalog.

Lyons Consulting Group added a variety of features and functionality to deliver a best-in-class online shopping experience to Oneida customers, including:

  • Alternate image viewer/click-to-zoom for showcasing detail on Oneida’s patterns and craftsmanship
  • Pattern landing page with tabbed view to easily find and purchase individual products and sets by design, pattern, or product line
  • PowerReviews integration
  • Robust My Account features including Pattern Registration and multiple newsletter subscription options

“The Oneida implementation reflects so much of what our customers love about the Magento Enterprise. Oneida products are now easy for customers to find and order, and the checkout process is simple and streamlined. The ‘refine and compare’ feature is instrumental in allowing users to make educated purchase decisions, and can ultimately help Oneida close more sales,” said Scott Dahlgren, Sr. Director of World Wide Channels, Magento.  “Magento is designed for customization that reflects a merchant’s goals and brand, and Lyons Consulting Group, streamlined execution ensuring that Oneida’s needs were identified and met.”

“The continued growth and innovation of the e-commerce marketplace made it essential that Oneida.com provide an industry leading experience for our consumers,” said Ken Bausch, Vice President, Consumer Direct at Oneida. “By partnering with these innovative companies, we’re able to provide additional functionality to both our US consumers and now to many international markets.”

“Who doesn’t own and love Oneida products for dining and entertaining?” said Rich Lyons, CEO and president of Lyons Consulting Group. “We designed and built the site to represent the rich history of this well-loved household brand and to help Oneida meet its goals for expanding its direct-to-consumer business online.”

Following the successful launch of Oneida.com in September 2010, Oneida continued working with Lyons Consulting Group to integrate FiftyOne, the market leader in global e-commerce, to internationalize its ecommerce operations and reach online consumers in a number of key new markets. FiftyOne empowers leading U.S. retailers to utilize their existing ecommerce infrastructure and online shopping experience to market, sell, and fulfill merchandise to international shoppers with absolute cost certainty. “We are really pleased to be working with Oneida,” said Kris Green, Chief Strategy Officer & EVP, Sales, FiftyOne. “They are a highly-regarded U.S. brand with a reputation for quality. We are happy to have helped them launch their international channel and look forward to continuing our work helping them serve online consumers around the world.”
