Vline’s lack of future-fit functionality was one of the primary reasons Topline Murtaghs chose to switch to Xline at their earliest opportunity. To level up their online offering and make day-to-day operations simpler, moving to our new management platform was an easy decision for the Irish hardware specialist.
Here, Topline Murtagh owner, Colin Murtagh, shares his experience of the Xline platform, and how powerful new eCommerce applications like Cliqx have helped take the business to a new level.
Switching from Vline to Xline is as easy and hassle-free as it gets. Our technical specialists have devised a fast and efficient migration process that guarantees minimal downtime, so you can start enjoying the benefits of your new system without delay. And with a familiar feel to your existing Vline system, you’ll be up and running in no time.
Commenting on Topline Murtaghs’ Xline migration, Colin said: “Our transition from Intact Vline to Intact Xline was seamless. It was just like getting a program update and, apart from a few hours onsite by one of Xline’s consultants, it happened overnight.
“On the shop floor, staff noticed the more modern look and feel but, because Xline retains the Vline layout, shortcuts and function names they didn’t need any extra training on the new system.”
In developing Xline, we responded to the needs of our customers as well as the changing industry landscape. In the wake of the COVID pandemic and at the peak of digital transformation, businesses need innovative, future-ready tools that support their changing requirements and aspirations for growth.
At Topline Murtaghs, Colin recognised the need to level up and embrace changing consumer trends. He said: “We made the switch to Intact Xline to future-proof our business. We wanted to expand our online business, implement credit card integration etc., and Intact Vline couldn’t accommodate these requirements.
We had already started our journey online when the COVID pandemic hit, but we were pushed to react a lot quicker. We went from the off-the-shelf Cliqx e-commerce site to a fully integrated website by October 2020.
We have put time, money and resources into our online offering and can now see it growing steadily. The big advantage for us is that the site is now integrated with our Xline solution, which enables us to efficiently manage this new sales channel for the business.”
