Hitachi Capital.

Online finance applications made easy

More than a million people in the UK trust Hitachi Capital. The company hoped to extend its reach even further with a PayByFinance plugin that would allow retailers to offer finance directly from their ecommerce stores. We were chosen as Hitachi Capital’s technical partner for the project.

How we did it

We’re well-versed in ecommerce transformation projects. But because every project is different, we kicked off with a full creative strategy and scoping process, to set the project up for success.

A flexible but focused approach

Our discovery work revealed several unknowns. This meant that Hitachi Capital needed a partner that could react to changes in requirements without losing sight of the overall objective. We were happy to oblige, and worked closely with the team to mitigate risks and adapt quickly to emerging information.

A market-leading product

Changing the underlying finance application platform would have brought significant disruption to Hitachi Capital’s operations. That simply wasn’t an option, so we designed the plugin to deliver a more intuitive user experience, while still being able to integrate with the current system.

The PayByFinance plugin makes a complex process appear simple, routing ecommerce customers to the Hitachi Capital finance portal before seamlessly returning them to the retailer’s site with a finance decision. 

What Hitachi Capital said...

“The quality and content of [Digital Boutique’s] proposal was of a much higher standard than the comparable tenders. It really seemed like they understood our requirements right from the start.”
