Jones
& Sons bulk ordering, brought online.
Jones & Sons, an established building-materials supplier serving southwestern Indiana, sells aggregates, crushed limestone, gravel, sand, mulch, and topsoil in bulk, across multiple locations where pricing and availability vary by facility and delivery costs depend on distance and order volume. That complexity had kept online ordering out of reach. Uncap replatformed the store from WooCommerce to Shopify with location-aware shopping, custom tiered delivery calculations, and quantity calculators that turn project dimensions into purchasable tons and cubic yards.
Built for the
way builders buy.
The Who
Jones & Sons is an established building-materials supplier serving southwestern Indiana with a broad range of construction and landscaping materials: aggregates, crushed limestone, gravel, sand, mulch, and topsoil. Unlike conventional retail businesses, it operates across multiple locations, with product pricing and availability varying by facility, and sells in bulk quantities where delivery costs depend on distance and total order volume.
The Problem
Those operational realities had prevented the company from offering a straightforward online purchasing experience: the previous WooCommerce site could not carry per-facility pricing or bulk delivery costs, and ordering leaned on calls and manual quotations. Jones & Sons needed an ecommerce solution that could accommodate its existing business model rather than force the business to change how it sold and delivered materials.
The Solution
Uncap built a Shopify platform around the way the business actually operates. Customers select their shopping location and see that facility's products, pricing, and purchasing options, with location-aware cart behavior keeping orders consistent across branch changes. Custom delivery calculation logic supports the company's tiered structure, pricing distance and order volume inside the purchase flow, and material quantity calculators translate project dimensions into purchasable tons and cubic yards. Products suited to online purchase run through Shopify checkout, while other materials and services stay discoverable through informational pages and quote-request experiences.
The Results
Jones & Sons launched its new Shopify ecommerce platform in August 2026 and gained a true online ordering channel for bulk building and landscaping materials, supported by location-specific shopping, delivery pricing inside checkout, a redesigned website with improved product discovery, and a foundation for future digital commerce expansion. The client awarded Uncap a five-star Shopify partner review.

Commerce
Answers, before you ask.
Uncap replatformed Jones & Sons from WooCommerce to Shopify with a redesigned storefront, location-aware product architecture, custom delivery calculation logic, and material quantity calculators for bulk construction and landscaping materials.
Jones & Sons operates multiple locations with pricing and availability that vary by facility. Customers select their shopping location and see the relevant products, pricing, and purchasing options, and the cart behaves location-aware to keep orders consistent when a customer changes branch.
Bulk materials need a fundamentally different shipping model from standard ecommerce. Uncap engineered delivery calculation logic for the company's tiered structure, accounting for delivery distance and total order volume, so delivery pricing is part of the online purchase instead of relying exclusively on manual quotations.
They translate project dimensions into purchasable quantities, helping customers determine how many tons or cubic yards of aggregate, mulch, or topsoil a project requires before they order.
Products suited to online purchase run through Shopify's ecommerce functionality, while other construction materials and services remain discoverable through dedicated informational pages and quote-request experiences, so the site supports both direct sales and lead generation.
