    01 — The Challenge

    Three brands that each need to feel purpose-built

    Blue Wing Honda runs three distinct retail brands — Honda Outdoors, Honda Marine and Honda Motorbikes — each with its own product mix, customer journey and operational needs, alongside a wider dealer network. Each needed ecommerce that felt purpose-built for its audience, without the business maintaining three separate technology stacks.

    01

    Different audiences, different journeys

    A generator buyer, a boat owner and a motorcyclist shop nothing alike.

    02

    Three stacks would triple the admin

    Separate platforms meant separate updates, integrations and maintenance.

    03

    Dealers need consistency and autonomy

    A national network has to stay on-brand while still serving local markets.

    02 — What We Built

    One connected ecommerce ecosystem

    We built a connected ecosystem on Adobe Commerce (Magento 2), with all three Honda businesses on a common platform tailored per audience and a repeatable framework for dealers.

    01

    Core brand sites on one platform

    All three Honda businesses share a platform but present as distinct brands.

    02

    Repeatable dealer framework

    A dealer website framework balancing brand consistency with local autonomy.

    03

    Internal systems integration

    Integrated with Blue Wing Honda's product and inventory systems so pricing and availability stay aligned across the network.

    04

    Central product management

    Product data maintained once and distributed, rather than kept in three places.

    The Commercial Impact

    Faster to update, easier to find

    42% more organic search traffic and a 50% cut in product update time — a network that stays accurate with materially less internal effort.

    03 — Why This Matters

    Why this matters for multi-brand retail

    Multi-brand groups usually pay twice: once in platform maintenance and again in the errors that come from keeping the same data in several places. A shared platform with tailored front ends removes both.

    01

    One source of product truth

    Pricing and availability stay aligned across brands and dealers.

    02

    Shared platform, distinct experience

    Each audience gets a journey built for them without a separate build.

    03

    Update speed is a growth lever

    Faster product publishing means faster ranking and fewer stale listings.
