BEDSLIDE: 47% Spike in Organic Traffic & Increased Sales
After moving to Web Shop Manager, BEDSLIDE reports a better checkout
process, improved design, and increased sales
The number on this page
BEDSLIDE's result after the new site launched, as first published in our case study.
As first published in Web Shop Manager's BEDSLIDE case study. The original report did not record the measurement window. Jake Plappert's December 2019 testimonial below puts the site launch about a year and a half earlier.
The store and its buyers
BEDSLIDE has made sliding truck bed cargo systems since 1999. It came to Web Shop Manager to sell direct to truck owners, not only through dealers, while keeping a dealer path for buyers who prefer a local shop.
- Fit depends on bed length. A BEDSLIDE has to match the truck's year, make, model and bed length.
- Direct and dealer sales. Truck owners need to buy online or find an installing dealer nearby.
- A complete redesign. The goal, in BEDSLIDE's words, was a site that would sell better than the old one.
What we built for BEDSLIDE
These are live on the BEDSLIDE store today.
Fit My Truck
- A year, make, model and bed length search on the home page and on results pages.
- Results split into the BEDSLIDE models and the accessories that fit that truck.
Dealer locator
- ZIP code or address search with a radius and a map, listing each dealer's address, phone and website.
Selling direct
- Customer accounts, a cart and checkout, financing on the store, and a Stories section with customer builds.
What BEDSLIDE shoppers see today
A truck owner enters the truck and bed length once and sees only the systems that fit. A buyer who wants a local installer opens the dealer locator from the header. Grille maker T-REX Truck Products runs its truck accessories store on the same platform.

In their words
“Ultimately our goal was to make sure that it was a site that was going to sell better than we had currently at the time … the website was better, it was a better design, the checkout process was better.”

The new store in motion
One shopper with a 2021 Ford F150 5.5' bed: the store matches the right BEDSLIDE, compares all five models, builds the setup with its mounting kit, puts four parts on one cart line and finds a nearby dealer.

Why it works
A truck bed slide is an exact-fit, high-ticket product. Asking for bed length up front keeps the wrong size off the page, and the dealer locator gives buyers who want installation a next step on the same site.
