Urban Sales

New Zealand’s go-to destination for stylish, affordable flat-pack furniture online.

Urban Sales partnered with Moustache Republic to escape the limitations of a legacy platform that was holding back growth. We replatformed them onto Shopify Plus with a modern, integrated tech stack built for performance, flexibility, and scale. From smarter product discovery and shipping to a vastly improved mobile experience, we set them up with a futureproof foundation for ecommerce success.

Strategy

Enabled real-time, accurate shipping with Marginwell and Shopify’s Split Shipping functionality

Urban Sales was running on a legacy ecommerce system that had become a liability - complex to manage, costly to maintain, and inflexible to evolve. Our goal was to replatform onto a modern stack that could better serve both customers and the internal team. We implemented Shopify Plus, leveraging powerful tools like Boost AI for personalised search, Marginwell for real-time shipping, and Cin7 for backend efficiency. The result is a faster, smarter, and more scalable platform with a dramatically improved customer experience - particularly on mobile, where engagement had previously suffered.
