Complex Integrations

Montalto is a celebrated Mornington Peninsula estate where seasonal produce and premium wines are grown, shared, and enjoyed. With 30 acres under vine and an award-winning winemaking team led by Simon Black, Montalto crafts wines of character and distinction. The estate’s kitchen gardens and orchards also supply their renowned Restaurant and Piazza, embodying a complete farm-to-table philosophy.

Challenges

Montalto’s existing WooCommerce setup lacked the flexibility and scalability required for their expanding business. They needed a modern ecommerce platform that could handle the nuances of wine sales, including member pricing, subscription management, and compliance, while integrating seamlessly with their existing business systems and logistics providers.

Solution

We migrated Montalto to Shopify, designing a streamlined experience optimised for both retail and member customers. By setting up metafields, we enabled dynamic member pricing on collection and product pages, while integrating a robust tech stack tailored to the wine industry. From subscription management to inventory and logistics, each integration was chosen to support scalability, efficiency, and a smooth customer journey.

We were - and continue to be - extremely impressed by the service provided by The Hope Factory. From start to finish, their team exhibited professionalism, expertise, and a genuine commitment to delivering above and beyond expectations when it came to migrating to Shopify. The transition was smooth, and our new Shopify site not only looks fantastic but functions flawlessly.

EcoBranders

EcoBranders -

Founder and CEO Stacee Matheson, the sole force behind EcoBranders, found herself at a growth plateau after running the business for over a decade. As one of the few suppliers specialising in sustainable promotional products in the US, Stacee realised the importance of the website in effectively conveying the brand’s mission and emphasising the urgency for organisations to shift away from conventional promotional products. As a B2B enterprise, she also sought expertise in streamlining the online ordering process and improving the user experience to boost sales.
