Challenge

It should become simpler.

In the past, it was time-consuming and costly for cab customers to reorder consumables and spare parts for label printers in industrial use. This was only possible by telephone or e-mail, which was not only inconvenient for the customers, but also labor-intensive for the specialist department. And prone to errors. Especially for products that are not consulting-intensive, orders should be recorded in a Closed B2B Shop. So that the customer immediately sees the stock and always has an overview of the processing status of his order.

"A year ago, we were thinking about how we could reproduce the demands of our customers in a future-proof, flexible system and at the same time provide for comprehensive work facilitation in various areas. Today, after just one year, we have developed a powerful system based on Pimcore that is limited only by the limits of our imagination."

Solution

Order in the label product jungle.

cab offers labels and transfer ribbons for all kinds of use cases. Countless articles, some of which differ only in minor details. They fit some printers, but not others. Or only to a limited extent. In addition, there were individual parts, assemblies and product accessories. The second challenge came from the sales department: Depending on the order volume, individual price and discount rates are stored there for both customers and products, which are partially offset against each other. The user doesn't notice any of this, he logs into the store, selects his printer model and all the matching products appear in the configurator with the prices that apply to him. With a traffic light for product availability. Particular emphasis was placed on automation, and an interface was implemented so that orders can be processed directly in the ERP system.

Results

Consumables and spare parts matching every printer.

Once the customer has filtered the right labels for his specific application in the product configurator, the matching transfer ribbons are also issued and offered at the same time. Finally, an unusual price calculation was added, not only by the discount rates, which are made up of product and customer discounts, but also by the packaging sizes: With smaller labels, there are many more labels on the roll and more rolls in the package, but the price is calculated internally based on the unit price. For the purchaser, the procurement of consumables will in any case be a considerable time-saver in the future. For the sales department as well.
