Axel Johnson International is a Sweden-based organization with over 140 years of history, 110 companies in the portfolio, and EUR 960 million annual sales. Part of this group is the Lifting Solutions division.

Pimcore Partner Divante needed less than five months to analyze, design, and expand Lifting Solutions Group’s Pimcore platform by adding unique B2B eCommerce functionalities.

Lösung

Expanding existing Pimcore platform with eCommerce functionalities

The project began with a scoping session and full analysis of business requirements. Based on detailed information gathered, the Divante team selected the CoreShop extension to implement eCommerce in the existing and operating Pimcore platform. Along with the CoreShop implementation, Divante built an entirely new purchase path, from user’s accounts and advanced product models to check out, and shipments, which includes enabling visibility of stock availability, customer-specific pricing and lead time in a self-service way for the customers, building an enhanced experience for buyers of complex steel wire rope products, building delivery and payment methods that are customizable, which gives companies in the group the flexibility to launch eCommerce depending on local market demands, and advanced configuration of non-standard products.

Ergebnis

Launch of a top-notch eCommerce site

Thanks to Divante’s broad knowledge of Pimcore and eCommerce, Divante demonstrated speed, and in only 5 months launched the desired eCommerce functionalities. The technical product configurator is among the most powerful features available within the newly developed eCommerce solution. Thanks to this solution, the customer can easily place the order - even for complex lifting equipment - and Lifting Solutions experts will confirm its safety before delivery. Divante took the greatest care to provide top-notch eCommerce features for the Lifting Solutions Group Pimcore platform. Available since the end of March 2019, the eCommerce functionality increases product discovery, shortens the purchase path, and supports the safety of selected lifting solutions. Now, Divante is working on further integration with the ERP system which allows importing all orders and files related to the order from the ERP. We are also working on further data integration using the Azure platform.
