Vigour and Skills Challenge: Managing Store Sales Without a Unified POS System & Limited Gift Card Solution

Vigour and Skills faced challenges aligning their artisan studio operations with the growing online demand for handmade products.

Staff struggled to manage inventory updates across in-store and online channels, causing stock mismatches and delays in fulfillment.

Without an integrated gift card system, staff manually tracked cards, causing errors, duplicates, and time-consuming reconciliation.

These challenges made it harder to promote gift cards effectively, impacting customer satisfaction and repeat purchases.

Checkout visibility was limited, leading to occasional billing errors and reduced customer confidence during in-store purchases.

This case study shows how the company solved challenges using Webkul’s powerful e-commerce solutions.
