Integration of ERP-supported product catalog and implementation of 3D configurator
Tiger Coatings was faced with the challenge of expanding their existing TYPO3 website with several new, state-of-the-art applications to meet the increasing demands of their customers. A central requirement was the integration of an extensive product catalog fed from the ERP system, as well as the implementation of innovative tools such as the "Tigerator", a 3D configurator for surfaces, and the presentation of Tigital Inks. All applications should be seamlessly embedded into the existing architecture and provide a consistent user experience.
Solution
Pimcore at the heart: Seamless integration and data management
The solution was to integrate the Pimcore system as a central platform for managing and synchronizing all product data. The headless Angular-based shop, which communicates with Pimcore, enables products to be displayed quickly and efficiently. In addition, the "Tigerator", an advanced 3D configurator for surfaces, was also embedded as a headless Angular application. A special page was implemented to present the Tigital Inks, which is also powered by Pimcore. This architecture allows various smaller applications and tools to be seamlessly integrated into the existing TYPO3 website while at the same time ensuring central data management via Pimcore.
"The integration of Pimcore into Tiger Coatings' existing TYPO3 website was an exciting project. By seamlessly embedding the headless Angular shop and the 3D configurator 'Tigerator', we were able to significantly improve the user experience and increase data management efficiency. This solution provides a solid foundation for future expansions."
