What features should a laboratory equipment website have?
At minimum: clear category and application navigation, product pages with specifications on the page, linked documents, and an inquiry or quote route from every product. Larger ranges also benefit from technical filters, comparison and customer accounts.
What is a PunchOut catalog, and do lab suppliers need one?
A PunchOut catalog lets buyers at universities, hospitals and pharmaceutical companies shop your website from inside their own e-procurement system, such as SAP Ariba, Coupa or Jaggaer, and return the cart for approval. If many of your customers are institutions that buy through purchasing systems, it can remove a lot of manual order handling. See PunchOut integration.
Can you build an online catalog without online checkout?
Yes. Many instrument suppliers sell by quotation. We can build a full searchable catalog with a quote list in place of a cart, and add checkout later for consumables or accessories if you need it.
Can buyers request quotes for individual instruments?
Yes. Buyers can request a quote from a single product page or build a list of several products. The request your team receives includes SKUs, quantities, selected options and any application notes.
Can equipment specifications and PDFs be managed centrally?
Yes. Specifications are stored as structured fields and documents are linked to products, so an update is made once and appears wherever that product or document is shown.
Can you integrate our existing CRM or ERP?
In most cases, provided the system offers an API or a supported export. We confirm what is feasible during discovery, before committing to an integration scope.
Do you work with WordPress, WooCommerce, and custom platforms?
Yes. We build on WordPress and WooCommerce and also develop custom front ends and applications. The recommendation depends on catalog size, integrations and who will maintain the site.
Can you migrate thousands of products from an existing website?
Yes. Migration starts with a data audit, then a mapped import with spot checks. Existing URLs are redirected so current search visibility and bookmarks are preserved as far as possible.
How do you approach SEO for scientific equipment businesses?
We start with crawlable structure and accurate technical content, then build category, technique and application pages around how buyers search. We do not promise rankings or timelines; we set up tracking so results can be measured.
How is the project cost determined?
By scope: number of templates, catalog size and data condition, account and quote functionality, and integrations. You receive a written estimate after a discovery conversation.
Can we start with a consultation or website assessment?
Yes. The free website assessment is the usual first step, and a strategy call is available if you would rather talk through requirements first.
