The approach

Built for
the business.

What we did

  • Custom Shopify theme for a large, technical attachment catalogue
  • A fitment engine rather than a filter: choose machine type, make and model, and the store returns only the attachments that physically fit, grouped by category, each card carrying a count of how many variants suit that exact machine
  • A compatibility matrix of 119,723 machine-to-attachment combinations across six machine types, because most attachments fit many machines and most machines take many attachments — resolved down to the individual model, so the answer is Kubota U35-4 rather than "excavator"
  • The matrix runs on a purpose-built fitment service on AWS rather than a Shopify app, so the dataset can grow with the range instead of being held together by product tags
  • The selected machine persists as a dismissible chip for the rest of the session, so the catalogue stays narrowed to what fits instead of resetting on every page
  • A second intent layer over the top: filter by activity — brick handling, clearing, compacting, concrete — for buyers who know the job they need done but not the attachment that does it
  • Quote-led product pages with mount and tyne-length selection, load ratings, AS certification and downloadable flyers, built to hand a qualified enquiry to a dealer rather than close a cart
  • Site architecture and navigation planning across hundreds of SKUs

The stack

  • Shopify
