Requirement
Combined with a shop update to the latest OXID Enterprise Edition 5, a newly developed responsive layout was to be implemented. Furthermore, the functions of the old OXID shop version had to be applied and partly adapted. The connection to third-party systems such as the resource planning system as well as various performance optimizations were of special interest.
Technical realization
Based on the latest OXID Enterprise Edition 5, the B2C and B2B online shop was adapted extensively to the customer’s requests. New templates for the responsive layout needed to be integrated and optimized regarding existing functions. Furthermore, a verification of the plugins’ compatibility as well as the connection to various external providers such as Econda (product recommendations) and FactFinder (searching) were carried out. FATCHIP also developed an interface to 1WorldSync, a data pool for product information. Additionally, exports for various comparison portals such as Google Shopping and Idealo were developed and automated. pixi* was connected as a resource planning system and the online shop was prepared for multi-channel marketing.
