MFI uses its logo to pinpoint the locations of its stores

Multimap.com designed and implemented a shop locator service for MFI’s website, www.mfi.co.uk. The service covers all of MFI's 200+ stores in Great Britain.

Users can search for and locate their nearest MFI store by town, city, postcode or London street. They also have the option to search specifically for stores that stock particular types of product*. The search delivers the ten nearest outlets with an indication of how far, in miles, each branch is from the starting point entered, along with telephone number, address and opening hours.

By clicking on an "Info & map" icon, users can obtain a map which shows the exact location of that particular branch. They then have the choice of zooming in for a more detailed view or out for the wider picture, and can pan around to get their bearings.

Zia Zareem, E-Customer Manager at MFI says, "Having the Multimap.com facility on our website will make a real difference to customers trying to find the nearest store that stocks the products they are looking for."

In a competitive market, providing customers with the facility to search for and locate stores is becoming increasingly important. The type of services Multimap offers to customers such as MFI will enhance the user's experience of a company's website and make it more user-friendly.

*MFI's product range includes: Home Office, Bedroom, Lounge & Dining, Kitchens, and Bathrooms.
