Wodu acquires Wodu.com
Whether you are up or down, 2020 has been a hell of a year to be in business.
As an agnostic provider of Internet marketing services with clients across dozens of industries, we’ve lived and breathed this year from many business perspectives. From art museums to tour operators, restaurants to online shops, banks to theaters, and online educators to Realtors, we’ve seen it all.
We helped businesses temporarily pause (we prefer the term “pause” over “close”), then reopen. We helped businesses brainstorm ways to adapt and seek new opportunities that in some cases led to increase in their overall revenue. And yes, there were a few that permanently shuttered operations.
For the first three months of the pandemic, we were busier than we have ever been, making ourselves completely available to any client that needed assistance. What we used to think of as being “in the weeds” is the new normal, at least for a while.
So in the middle of all this, when a window of opportunity for us to own the four-letter domain of our brand, Wodu.com, presented itself, what were we to do? After witnessing opportunity come out of carnage for many of our clients, we decided to make our own bold move for 2020: we acquired the domain.
To celebrate this exciting time for our company, we’ve launched a new website, and are working on strengthening our service offerings.
A Wodu client finds success and savings with a custom Shopify fulfillment system built by Wodu.
One of our clients, an emerging seller of personal protective equipment, was manually creating shipping labels and packing slips from their Shopify orders. To further complicate matters, they had multiple suppliers to manage and also needed to maintain white label brand control over shipments.
Wodu developed and delivered a custom API integration between Shopify and EasyPost that automatically generates a metered shipping label and branded packing slip based on the order.
A custom portal was created for suppliers to log in and print off the day’s shipping labels, packing slips, and manifest to hand to USPS.
Multiple edge cases were anticipated, including reprinting shipping labels, automated EasyPost refund requests on canceled shipping labels, and deep linking throughout every stage with Shopify’s Fulfillment API.
