An efficient and independent online store on the Magento 2 platform.

What was our task?

Construction and implementation of a new online store, fully responding to the increased needs of the Partner and in line with the latest e-commercetrends.
Quiosque is a well-known Polish clothing brand offering fashion for women. On the path of ubiquitous digitalization, Quiosque decided in 2014 to create an online sales platform – then Magento 1 was our natural proposition for the Partner.

However, the store began to develop very quickly, and as the assortment expanded and traffic increased, there was a problem with the efficient flow of order data from the ERP system, which resulted in a decline in the store’s efficiency. Our Partner turned to Fast White Cat for support.

Initial goals

The challenge was to respond to the client’s needs to increase the efficiency of his sales platform and prevent downtime in the operation of the e-store. We had to improve the integration between the ERP system and the online store because the store’s server was unable to handle the increased number of orders, and therefore such a huge and uncontrolled data exchange. The best solution to improve the website’s performance, both for us and our Partner, was to build a completely new online store.

How did we manage to achieve this?

The new online store was created on the latest version of Magento – Magento 2. Based on conversations and consultations with the Quiosque brand, we created an action plan for this project to achieve the goal within a specified deadline.

  1. The biggest challenge turned out to be planning smooth integration between the Magento 2 platform and the ERP system. When designing the new store, we took into account the obstacles that had already appeared. This means a problem with the efficiency of the ERP system and the amount of data sent to Magento.
  2. The store’s design was handled by a team of our graphic designers, and we worked on the construction and implementation in a six-person team: Project Manager, Tech Lead, 2 Fronted Developers, 2 Backend Developers.

Magento 2 – will it work?

  • Changing the direction of integration between Magneto 2 and the ERP system significantly increased the store’s efficiency and reduced the server load. Currently, Magento 2 collects all the necessary data from the supplier, i.e. products and prices. Additionally, we have the option to immediately disconnect from this integration if the ERP system suddenly stops working.
  • Maintaining up-to-date inventory levels on the Magento 2 side eliminated the problem among customers who ordered products that were no longer available in the online store.
  • The addition of an automatic size chart simplified the customer’s purchasing process. Each product has precisely presented sizes, thanks to which we have reduced the number of inquiries regarding the dimensions of specific clothes and the level of returns.

As a brand, we always try to listen to our customers and we know well that they like to shop in our stores and benefit from the advice of our sellers.

Unfortunately, today’s situation deprives them of this opportunity, so we are obliged to respond immediately. This is how the idea of live sales was born. But, as we know, every idea still requires quick and accurate implementation, and in this respect Fast White Cat is unrivaled and this is best evidenced by our many years of cooperation.

The project ran smoothly, despite the large scope of work we had to do.

The client fully entrusted us with the project due to our many years of cooperation and experience. Thanks to this, we were able to use our knowledge of e-commerceand UX to ensure that the new store was not only in line with current trends and user-friendly, but also maximized our Partner’s profits.
