Lighting Reimagined Case Study: Catalog & Search Manager

Custom application case study · Lighting Reimagined

Catalog & Search Manager

Bringing complex Shopify catalog work into a dedicated merchant workspace.

The business need

A large lighting catalog creates connected tasks: reviewing products and variants, preparing spreadsheet changes, organizing search, and checking changes before they reach shoppers. The project called for a merchant tool built around that workflow.

What RNR built

RNR developed a custom catalog and search management application for Shopify, with catalog browsing, product detail views and a review-first approach to changes.

  • Product and variant views with filters, selection and pagination.
  • Detailed product review covering catalog information, media, collections and metafields.
  • A structure for staged edits, import review, search configuration and change history.
  • Store-specific access controls and clear separation between review screens and enabled production actions.

The purpose it serves

Give the merchandising team a focused place to inspect catalog information and prepare work, with deliberate review before changes are applied.

Project scope

This development project brings catalog review and staged workflows into a custom merchant portal. Catalog management and the storefront search rollout are separate parts of the work, with planned automation subject to configuration and launch checks.
