About The Client

Frederick Thomas is a UK-based fashion brand specialising in ties, accessories and personalised products for individuals, businesses, schools, clubs and organisations. The brand wanted to expand its custom product offering by giving customers an easier way to design personalised ties online. Instead of relying on manual conversations for every colour, pattern, size and quantity choice, the business required an interactive application that could guide customers through the full customisation process.

Project Overview

BwLogics designed and developed a custom tie designer application for Frederick Thomas, giving customers a simple and interactive way to create personalised ties online. Users can choose patterns, fabrics, logo placement, fastening styles, sizes, widths and lengths while seeing their selections come together in one clear journey.

The custom product personalisation tool also includes dynamic quantity-based pricing, saved designs, downloadable previews and direct order or enquiry submission. The result is a smoother custom ordering experience for customers and a more efficient way for the business to manage personalised tie requests.

The Challenge

The client needed more than a basic product options form.

Custom tie orders involve several choices that directly affect the final product, appearance and price. Customers needed a clear and visual way to combine these options without becoming confused by the number of available variations.

The business also required accurate pricing based on both the selected specifications and order quantity.

  • Create a simple and intuitive visual customisation experience.
  • Support multiple tie patterns and pattern variations.
  • Allow customers to choose different fabrics and fastening styles.
  • Manage adult and child sizing with flexible product options.
  • Support multiple tie widths and length variations.
  • Apply accurate pricing for extra-long and extra-wide configurations.
  • Calculate pricing dynamically based on selected quantity.
  • Enable customers to save and download their custom designs.
  • Capture complete customer and delivery information for every order.
  • Integrate the application seamlessly with the existing ecommerce website.
  • Provide the admin team with an efficient order management workflow.

Our Solution

We developed a dedicated custom web application that guides customers through every stage of designing a personalised tie.

The application presents each customisation option in a structured, easy-to-follow interface, allowing customers to configure patterns, fabrics, logo placement, fastening styles, sizes, widths and lengths while viewing their selected specifications throughout the process.

A dynamic pricing engine was developed to automatically calculate costs based on the selected configuration and order quantity, ensuring accurate pricing without manual calculations.

To improve the customer experience, users can name, save and download their designs for future reference before submitting an enquiry or placing an order.

On the business side, a dedicated admin dashboard centralises customer information, design specifications, quantities and order details, making production, order management and fulfilment significantly more efficient.

Creating a Better Custom Tie Ordering Experience

Understanding the Custom Ordering Process

We started by reviewing how customers order personalised ties and where the process could become confusing or time-consuming.

A custom tie order involves several choices, including pattern, fabric, logo placement, fastening style, size, width, length and quantity. Our goal was to turn these options into a simple, guided experience that customers could complete with confidence.

Designing an Easy Tie Customisation Journey

The custom tie designer application was organised into clear steps so users could focus on one decision at a time.

Customers can choose from plain, striped and polka-dot designs, select their preferred fabric and configure the tie according to their requirements. Each option is presented in a clear and user-friendly way, making personalised tie design easier for businesses, schools, clubs and individual buyers.

Making Pricing Clear and Accurate

Custom tie pricing changes depending on the selected size, fabric, width, length and order quantity.

We created a dynamic pricing experience that updates according to the customer’s choices. This helps users understand the cost of their custom tie order before submitting an enquiry or proceeding with a purchase.

It also reduces the need for the Frederick Thomas team to calculate every quotation manually.

Helping Customers Save and Review Designs

Customers can name and save their custom tie designs for future reference.

They can also download a copy of the design, making it easier to share with colleagues, schools, clubs or decision-makers before placing an order.

This is especially useful for bulk and branded tie orders that may require approval from more than one person.

Simplifying Orders and Enquiries

Once a design is complete, customers can submit an enquiry or continue with their order directly through the custom tie designer application.

The selected design, quantity and product details are captured together, so the Frederick Thomas team receives a clearer and more complete request.

This creates a smoother experience for both the customer and the business.

Creating a Mobile-Friendly Experience

The application was designed to work across desktop, tablet and mobile devices.

Buttons, product options and design controls remain easy to use on smaller screens, allowing customers to create and review personalised ties from any device.

Supporting the Frederick Thomas Team

The business team can review customer information, selected tie options, quantities and design details through one organised workflow.

This reduces manual communication, improves order clarity and helps the team manage custom tie enquiries more efficiently.
