Digital solutions for retail
EFCO has been operating an online shop for the distribution of its products for some time. This was implemented with the first version of the open source e-commerce solution Magento. EFCO commissioned soxes to update their online shop to the new version of Magento and to implement some new features.
New design & features
In a first step, a full specification was created using the existing online shop as a basis, which was enhanced with new features. An updated design concept for the shop was also created to match EFCO’s corporate identity. Subsequently, the Magento 2 shop was developed according to the specification and the design concept.
Simplification of processes
The newly implemented online shop facilitates the purchasing process of fastening materials, light and heavy construction machinery and their accessories for builders. Several thousand products are available in the shop and linked to each other. Packages of, for example, construction machinery and accessories are intended to simplify the purchasing process for customers. The product structure was precisely adapted to the connected ERP in order to simplify the administration and accounting processes. In addition, it is possible for customers to create a company account with admins. The admins are able to add further users and manage their rights. User rights include which products can be purchased, spending limits or available means of payment.
Ideal shopping experience thanks to modernisation
The modernised shop offers EFCO customers an improved shopping experience with sophisticated filter options, account options and a cleanly structured product range. In addition, the previously incorrectly implemented connection to the company’s own ERP was revised and improved. Thanks to the modernisation, EFCO’s online shop is once again efficient and competitive.
