About the project

Goals:
- Increase online sales
- Fast and easy flow from arrival on the site to order completion
- More efficient organisation of purchases through wish lists - for customers who want to buy lighting for multiple projects at the same time
- Reliable and accurate inventory tracking with no room for error - real-time connection to SAP ERP system

Solutions:

- React components for improving product catalogue sections
- Easy planning for architects with customisable lists
- Different customer groups for stock and prices
- Live connection to SAP system
Result:
- Through regular communication with the client, we developed a design that meets all the advanced needs of customers and business partners. It was necessary to develop a large number of tools to simplify shopping. Room lists, favourites, conditional display of products. With a new design and daily fine tuning, we achieved a fully optimised presentation of a large amount of information and options on a small screen.

Why Drupal was chosen

Drupal 9 was chosen for the lighting retail project due to its ability to handle complex e-commerce requirements and integrate with SAP ERP. The project aimed to increase online sales, streamline the shopping process, and provide real-time inventory tracking.

Key Benefits:
- Scalability: Drupal 9's modular architecture allowed for extensive customization, including wish lists and different customer groups.
- E-commerce Integration: Utilizing Drupal 9 Commerce, the project enhanced the product catalog with React components, ensuring a smooth user experience.
- Real-Time Inventory: Live connection to the SAP ERP system ensured accurate inventory management.
- User Experience: Tools like room lists and favourites, along with an optimized design, improved the shopping experience and reduced returns.
