Hi I am ParhamJ3 Rings
Custom Ordering, CRM Integration & Customer Journey Optimisation for a Sports Awards Business
A custom ordering platform designed to support complex product enquiries, CRM integration, customer journey improvement, and conversion tracking for a growing sports awards business.
Industry: E-Commerce & Manufacturing
Duration: 6 Months
My Role: Website Strategy, Customer Journey Planning, UX, Systems Integration, Conversion Tracking & Delivery
The situation
J3 Ring specialises in custom championship rings, trophies, awards, and recognition products for sports teams, schools, organisations, and events across Canada.
Unlike a traditional e-commerce business, many orders required detailed consultation, custom specifications, artwork submissions, engraving requirements, quantity planning, and approval processes before production could begin.
The business needed a platform capable of presenting products professionally while supporting a more complex customer journey behind the scenes.
The objective was not simply to create an online catalogue.
The objective was to improve how customers requested information, submitted requirements, and progressed from initial enquiry through to quotation and order fulfilment.
Key Business Requirements
Professional online presence
Custom product enquiries
Artwork and file submission
CRM integration
Improved lead management
Better customer experience
Marketing performance visibility
The Challenge
Managing customised orders creates a very different set of operational and customer journey challenges compared with a standard eCommerce website.
Customers were required to provide detailed project information, product specifications, branding assets, engraving requirements, quantities, deadlines, and production notes before an accurate quotation could be prepared.
Without a structured enquiry process, requests often arrived incomplete, creating delays, increasing manual administration, and requiring unnecessary back-and-forth communication between customers and the sales team.
The business also needed better visibility into lead sources, enquiry progression, sales performance, and marketing activity to support better operational decision-making.
Information Required From Customers
Team details
Product specifications
Logo files
Engraving information
Quantity requirements
Project deadlines
Additional production notes
Challenge Areas
Complex quotation workflows
Incomplete customer information
Large enquiry forms
File and artwork management
CRM integration and synchronisation
Lead tracking, reporting, and conversion measurement
Marketing attribution visibility
Why It Mattered
Every enquiry represented a potential high-value customer and a significant business opportunity.
Missing information, inconsistent processes, and manual administration slowed the customer journey, delayed quotations, and increased the workload for the sales team.
The goal was not simply to generate more website traffic.
The goal was to improve the entire customer journey while creating a more efficient, scalable, and measurable operational process that supported long-term business growth.
Business Objectives
Improve lead and enquiry quality
Reduce manual administration
Standardise information collection
Improve customer experience
Increase operational visibility
Track marketing performance
Create scalable internal processes
Discovery & Project approach
The project began with a detailed review of the customer journey, website performance, enquiry process, and internal workflows to identify the biggest barriers to growth.
The focus was placed on improving both the customer experience and the internal business processes that supported it.
The objective was to create a process that helped customers provide the right information while reducing manual administration, improving lead quality, and creating a more efficient workflow for the business.
