M&D Distributors Chooses Mi9 Retail for e-Commerce

MIAMI, March 28, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Mi9 Retail, a leading provider of omni-channel retail solutions, is pleased to announce that M&D Distributors has selected Mi9 e-Commerce to run its digital business. Mi9 e-Commerce is a feature-rich cloud-based solution for e-commerce including order management, content management, customer relationship management, and more.

Founded in 1943 near the banks of the Ship Channel in the heart of Houston's industrial area, M&D Distributors spent its early years providing injector and magneto repair services to the shipping and rail industries. Seventy-five years later, M&D represents the premier source for Diesel-engine components and services.

M&D Distributors needed to select a new e-commerce platform because its legacy solution lacked modern e-commerce functionality, could not support customer marketing campaigns, and was not easily modified.  M&D Distributors used this opportunity to revamp its direct-to-consumer (D2C) business and to survey the market for other technology vendors.

M&D Distributors selected Mi9 e-Commerce because it will enable the business to control its web site without requiring an over-reliance on outside support and developers, optimize e-commerce traffic, improve conversion rates, and increase average order value. "Mi9 e-Commerce was one of the few vendors we evaluated that was flexible enough to support the sale and management of 'core parts' – a common practice in the diesel parts business and something that was essential for us," said Trey Ingram, CEO at M&D Distributors. "While the software's capabilities were important, we were also evaluating companies based on their people, and the Mi9 team of e-Commerce professionals won our business by respecting our budget and timeline while addressing the functionality that mattered most to our business."

"As a highly specialized company with over 100,000 SKUs, M&D Distributors knew that choosing the right software for its business would be a challenging endeavor, but it rapidly became apparent that Mi9 Retail was the perfect fit," said Neil Moses, CEO of Mi9 Retail. "The Mi9 e-Commerce platform will enable M&D to showcase its brand without increasing development costs, which will in turn allow it to achieve higher ROI year after year."
