Lean approach with focus on execution
Jill marries turn-key solutions with innovative custom development
www.friendswithjill.com is built on Magento, widely regarded as the most
powerful e-commerce platform available today. We have developed
custom modules within Magento and custom payment integrations with
WorldPay to enable the world’s first period tracking subscription model.

Fulfillment is absolutely crucial
Significant research and development have yielded a lean solution
Our unique vacuum seal parcels have been developed to be compatible
with SingPost guidelines. SingPost’s island wide reach, its de-facto mailbox
access and low cost are crucial in enabling our business in Singapore. For
orders that exceed SingPost limits, 3rd party dispatch services are engaged.
Solving Pains Great Experience Use caseOverview
Our use of integrated labels makes picking
and packing from almost 170 of our clean
and organized SKU labeled drawers a
breeze. We believe this lean and simple
solution is scalable up to the mid-term

Jill eliminates consumer pain
Well almost everything except the cramps…
#4: Jill’s allows you to receive parcels anywhere
Opaque packaging and its rectangle shape means that no one in the office
can ever guess what you’ve just ordered!
#3: Jill removes “queue shame”
No more prying and judgmental eyes in stores when you purchase the more
“sensitive stuff” like test kits for pregnancy or yeast infections.
#2: Jill removes pain of being unprepared
Customers never have to worry about running out; Jill’s period tracking calculations
even include an initial buffer stock . Customers are prepared from day one.
#1: Jill saves you time, lots of it
No more journeys to stores and long queues! We have made one of the
worst and most time consuming retail experience no longer a necessity.
#5: Jill doesn’t need you to be home to receive parcels
Our unique vacuum sealed parcels fit your mailbox(based on monthly usage
quantities) which means you don’t have to be home when it arrives!

A new shopping experience
Positive reviews of our interface and loyalty driven shopping dynamics
#8: Jill’s fuss free referral program
Earn points from inviting friends simply by entering their e-mail addresses. (if
your friend spends $1,on the first order she earns 100 points while you earn 200)
#7: Simple points rebate system
Points are displayed for every product and redemption is an absolute breeze
with sliders at checkout for you to indicate your exact $$ offset amount.
#9: Extra savings
Subscribers receive a months worth of points as bonus. We do this because we
can get better prices from our suppliers and pass that on to consumers.
#6: Pads, liners and tampons are sold by the piece
This allows everyone to mix and match across brands and products to create their
own unique mix! Customers receive exactly the products they want and need.

Let us give you an example
Our dear friend Maxine has never found it so easy!
Maxine’s on the irregular cycle
subscription and receives her mix of
pads (3 types, 12 pieces in total)
and
liners (1 type, 8 pieces in total)
the first week of every month
Maxine then returns to
friendswithjill.com every few weeks
to purchase feminine washes and
wipes. She uses points earned from
her subscription to offset these
purchases!
