CASA Architectural Hardware is a Belgrade-based company specializing in premium architectural hardware, glass partition systems and door automation. Architects, contractors and project managers all rely on their technical resources - from certificates and CAD drawings to installation manuals. To bring everything together, CASA turned to Document Library Pro.

Scattered documents that were hard to find and harder to manage

Before Document Library Pro, CASA stored technical documents across different pages with no central structure. As a result, users struggled to find what they needed. On top of that, the team spent too much time updating and managing files.

"We had certificates, manuals, and product documentation scattered across different pages," said Natasa Ilincic from CASA. "Updating and managing these resources was time-consuming and not scalable."

A structured, searchable library that works for everyone

After discovering Document Library Pro, the team built a centralized downloads page organized by product category. Now architects and contractors can browse and download brochures, certificates, CAD drawings and technical specs from one place.

Setup went smoothly too. "Even without advanced technical knowledge, our team was able to configure the library and start uploading documents quickly," said Natasa.

Document Library Pro offers a practical solution that improves both user experience and internal efficiency. It's a reliable tool that helps present your resources in a professional and accessible way.

4th Wave Solutions is a web development agency that builds WordPress sites for organizations across Latin America. Their client ASIES, a Guatemalan research institution, needed a better way to manage hundreds of policy documents. To solve this, they turned to Barn2's Document Library Pro.

The challenge - organizing hundreds of publications

ASIES produces a huge volume of research, including policy papers, institutional reports, and academic studies. However, the previous website structure made it hard for visitors to find specific resources. There was no way to filter or search within the archive. As a result, 4th Wave Solutions needed a tool that could handle structured browsing across a large repository. Importantly, it had to work without complex custom development.

The solution - a structured digital library

With Document Library Pro, 4th Wave Solutions transformed the ASIES publications section into a fully searchable digital library. Visitors can now filter documents by categories and keywords, making it much easier to navigate hundreds of resources. In addition, the organized library structure creates cleaner content pages that perform better in search engines.

On the management side, the editorial team at ASIES can now upload and categorize new publications directly within WordPress. No developer involvement is needed.

Document Library Pro provides a practical way to build a structured digital library without building a complex system from scratch, making it a very useful tool for institutions that need to manage and present a large collection of publications online.

Starborn Creations is a unique gemstone jewelry online store that sells jewelry, home decor, and loose stones. They use two Barn2 plugins to help make their store more successful:

• The WooCommerce Product Filters plugin adds show various product filters in the sidebar, allowing customers to filter by a range of custom product data.
• WooCommerce Wholesale Pro adds a private login-only wholesale area for trade buyers.

How our plugins solved their problem

Starborn Creations needed a way to show product filters not only on their shop page, but also on category pages (see example).

Since the company sells products made from a variety of gemstones, fossils, crystals, and minerals, they were looking for a way to let customers narrow down their search by price range, stone name, birthstone directly on the shop page.

Starborn's customers spend a lot of time on category pages because many wholesalers like to focus on certain stones. The category page filters allow customers to tailor their selections based on product data such as stone, color, ring size, and so on.

When a customer lands on the main shop page or one of the category pages, they can use the various product filters to narrow down their search. For example, if someone is looking for jewelry with a Blue Topaz stone and Sterling Silver base material that’s under $150, they can set the filter options accordingly to only see products that fit that criteria. Customers can also clear specific filters or all filters using the clear filter options.

How our plugin solved their problem
