Problem Statement: The Limits of Legacy E-Commerce
Before partnering with Zestminds, La Enviro faced three bottlenecks that restricted their growth potential.
1. Manual Inventory Management
- WooCommerce lacked multi-warehouse syncing.
- Stock discrepancies caused overselling and 40 % fulfillment errors.
- Updates required daily manual intervention, consuming valuable hours.
2. Complex Checkout & Poor UX
- Average load time exceeded 5 seconds.
- Three-step checkout process increased abandonment to 70 %.
- No mobile-first design or one-click payment support.
3. Limited Automation & SEO Visibility
- No native abandoned-cart recovery or AI-based upselling.
- Weak metadata and technical SEO limited organic reach.
- Marketing remained manual and reactive.
Result: La Enviro spent more time managing inefficiencies than scaling its mission.
