The challenge

The company realized that its current Magento version was no longer able to keep up with its changing needs, so it began looking for new digital solutions. Integrating the ERP system, Microsoft NAV, with the website was essential to enable streamlined order processing and real-time inventory updates.

Moreover, the company aimed to reorganize its internal workflows to improve efficiency and effectiveness. The existing “one-man-show” approach led to various bottlenecks and accountability issues and they wanted a more efficient workflow that would distribute tasks effectively, foster collaboration, and encourage shared responsibility among departments and individuals.

Solution offered

The company found the perfect solution to meet its requirements with the Dynamicweb All-in-One solution that can be seamlessly integrated into its ERP system, MS Dynamics NAV. This comprehensive solution included key features such as Product Information Management (PIM), Content Management System (CMS), publishing of PDF catalogs,  and 3rd party integrations through feeds and APIs.

Tailored to their B2B operations in their specific industry, the Dynamicweb All-in-One solution was customized to meet their unique requirements. These customizations allowed for efficient product management using the PIM module and catered to their B2B customers’ needs using the power of the eCommerce module.
The collaboration has expanded beyond the initial launch, with ongoing projects and ongoing development to ensure the solution is optimized and aligned with the evolving needs of the business.

As for the B2C solution, this represents their online shop, which allowed them to build a direct-to-customer relationship with their final clients, staying closer to the market.

Moreover, certain processes, such as creating digital catalogs or product feeds, were automated, freeing up valuable time and resources.
