KBS Golf Shafts

The Who

KBS Shaft, founded by master shaft designer Kim Braly, is a prominent golf shaft manufacturer recognized for precision engineering and exceptional performance. Trusted by both professional golfers and enthusiasts, KBS develops innovative steel and graphite shafts that prioritize feel, consistency, and results for players of all skill levels.

The Problem

KBS Shaft previously relied on WooCommerce for their online store, but found it limiting as they grew. They needed a more capable e-commerce solution that could provide a modern, user-friendly website with B2B functionality and ERP integration. This would allow them to scale effectively, better manage operations, and support overall business growth.

The Solution

Uncap created a new website for KBS Shaft using Shopify’s most advanced features and modern design principles. In addition to a refreshed D2C storefront, Uncap delivered a unified commerce solution that streamlines KBS’s D2C, B2B, and POS operations into a single platform. The direct integration with their Oracle ERP ensures synchronized data and efficient workflows, supporting KBS’s expanding business needs now and into the future.

What was built

KBS Golf Shafts now runs D2C, B2B and in-person sales on one Shopify Plus platform. Here is what Uncap delivered.

  • A move off WooCommerce: a full migration from WooCommerce to Shopify Plus, replacing a store KBS had found limiting as it grew.
  • One platform for three channels: D2C, B2B and POS operations brought together on a single platform, so every channel sells from the same system.
  • Oracle ERP integration: a direct integration with KBS's Oracle ERP for synchronized data and efficient workflows. Uncap covers this pairing on its Shopify and Oracle integration page.
  • A refreshed D2C storefront: a new design with a modern user experience for direct buyers.
  • Marketing tools: additional marketing tools integrated with the store.

  • You sell to consumers and to B2B accounts, and want both on one Shopify store.
