Cummins Australia Merchandise Store

Background

Our partnership with Cummins began in 2013, and over more than a decade we have continued to evolve and grow alongside the brand. What started as a small merchandise program has transformed into a sophisticated, fully managed merchandise and distribution solution that supports Cummins’ teams, dealer network, and customers across Australia.

1. The Brief

Cummins Australia required a premium merchandise solution that could:

  • Maintain the strength and consistency of the Cummins brand across all merchandise categories
  • Service multiple user groups, including Head Office, dealers, staff, and the general public
  • Streamline ordering, stock control, and national distribution
  • Deliver a seamless online purchasing experience
  • Provide clear visibility over product performance, usage, and overall spend
  • Allow for ongoing updates to reflect campaigns, product launches, and seasonal activity

The challenge was to build a system that was both operationally robust and flexible enough to support Cummins’ large and diverse audience.
