Titan CMS Team Creates and Delivers Exceptional Online User Experience

When the Pactiv Evergreen team decided it was time to retire their previously underperforming website and complicated CMS platform, they selected Northwoods, developer of Titan CMS, as their new digital partner. After moving to Titan CMS and launching a redesigned website with improved on-site search and a much-improved user experience, internal efficiencies improved.

The Situation

• With Pactiv Evergreen’s previous website platform, their public-facing site search functionality did not routinely return products in product-specific searches.
• Pactiv Evergreen’s internal team was also dependent upon an external source to make routine edits and updates to their website, creating frustration.
• This combination of incorrect search results and reduced internal efficiency led the Pactiv Evergreen team to search for a new website platform and a new digital partner. 

The Solution

• Our team kicked off Pactiv Evergreen’s website replatforming and redesign project by first developing a new digital strategy. From there, the team designed and built Pactiv Evergreen’s new website on Titan CMS.
• Titan CMS allowed for easy SAP and Salsify integration and highly effective and configurable site search, which consistently returned products in search results so users could find and order quickly.
• In addition to creating Pactiv Evergreen’s digital strategy and new website on Titan CMS, we built a custom web application that allowed what was a tedious manual fulfillment process to become automated.
• Our team also created an online PDF Builder that took the items in a visitor’s cart and generated a custom designed online catalog on the fly, virtually eliminating the need for printed catalogs.
• After the new website launched, we also helped the Pactiv Evergreen team build a website for its ecofriendly foodservice products brand, EarthChoice®. The site featured a unique searchable interface for visitors to find lists of restricted materials in communities across the U.S. Titan CMS’s data node capability allowed the Pactiv Evergreen team to easily manage and update information as communities added more restrictions and new communities joined.

The Outcome

• In addition to enhancing the user experience for its website visitors, Pactiv Evergreen’s website re-platforming project, data-driven digital strategy, custom web applications and online PDF Builder resulted in both cost savings and internal efficiency and productivity improvements.
• Pactiv’s team was so happy with the quality of work and results that they partnered with us on Pay Per Click (PPC) advertising, as well.
