The Strategy

Support NOV in their customer- centricity strategy

The Solution

Ease of Navigation

The NOV company has multiple business segments, sub-brands and a wide array of products within each division. The internal siloes within the organization were clearly represented on the previous website and did not provide a cohesive overview of the company, nor made it easy for a user to navigate to what they may need without prior knowledge of NOV’s internally-focused structure.

The Vertic redesign of NOV.com focused on providing an easy-to-navigate product portfolio and overview of NOV solutions, moving away from NOV’s inside-out based taxonomy to a more customer-centric, outside-in focused structure instead.

This offered seamless and intuitive navigation for easier overview of product portfolio and service offerings. Vertic worked with NOV through a re-visit of the brand architecture to further integrate the sub-brands as part of a cohesive brand ecosystem.

Elevating the brand

The new NOV.com elevated the brand through providing users with meaningful interactions. Leveraging a modern and sleek design system, and intuitive UX, the new experience portrayed the company’s transformational story.  

Throughout the insights phase of the project, Vertic  identified key themes that are in high demand for NOV’s customers, and created a content strategy that meets customer’s information needs, and reflects NOV’s position as an industry leader, therefore elevating the brand conversation.  

Intelligent Platform

The technology stack used for NOV.com was critical in enabling the company to provide the superior customer service it desired. The platform was built on Sitecore 9 , leveraging the experience manager suite for individualization. To enable users to search on their own terms and in their taxonomy, Vertic leveraged SOLR technology, on top of which was layered a user centric logic and machine learning to interpret intent and direct them to the right content.
