Leeda sets new standards L
eeda has implemented a new update to its popular B2B platform that will help users navigate and order more effi ciently. The website,
www.leedab2b.co.uk, now has a responsive design, which enables it to be used more effectively across mobile devices such as phones and tablets, in addition to its standard desktop format. Other changes that have been implemented aim to help users order more effi ciently; there’s now quicker access to account information, order history and invoices. The update is the start of a new set of upgrades that will be progressively worked into the site over the coming months, with work behind the scenes on keywords and search terms to help ease navigation being a primary focus, alongside a dynamic ordering system that will assist users in fi nding the
cheapest deals and the best alternative products. Pat MacInnes, marketing manager for the company, told T&G: “The website accounts for a large amount of our business and for customers who want to minimise the time they spend ordering – their time is after all very precious, and we’re working hard behind the scenes to ensure we stay at the head of the pack as the fi rst choice for retailers. “A website that can
offer the ideal ordering environment for time- sensitive customers is our ultimate aim and I believe we’re setting new standards in this industry.” LeedaB2B offers
customers access to the entire leeda portfolio, which includes its in- house brands MAP, Wychwood and ICON, plus exclusive brands such as Mustad and Maxima.
