At Chevron, I led the revitalization of their industrial lubricants eCommerce experience, tackling the challenge of making a catalog of 5,000+ highly technical SKUs accessible and navigable for customers. The existing interface made product discovery difficult, with complex specifications and industry terminology creating barriers to efficient purchasing decisions.
