The new website makes it easier for customers to find products they are looking for and also research products before potentially buying in store. Lowe’s digital transformation took the company down to the bones and then rebuilt with a new emphasis on digital.

Consumer trends show that e-commerce will continue to grow, and companies need to be continuing their digital transformations to provide great service, both online and in store.
