The challenge

DELTA-V sought to upgrade its online store to align with the standards of a top office furniture retailer. This entailed transferring the entire database, ensuring compliance with current security requirements, and creating a visually appealing and user-friendly web design.

The solution

After a thorough analysis, DELTA-V decided on a comprehensive and complete relaunch of its online store using the state-of-the-art OXID eSales online store system.

As part of this process, the entire database of DELTA-V was seamlessly transferred from Oxid 5 to Oxid 6, following standard protocols. To optimize the import of data, code refactoring and cleanup were conducted in the area of custom development, ensuring smooth integration during the import process. These improvements resulted in faster and more secure integration of relevant data from daily imports into the store, enhancing overall efficiency and reliability.

The system integration also included setting up a new ERP system that was implemented in parallel with the e-commerce platform by another technology provider. DELTA-V collaborated closely with valantic to introduce additional exciting functionalities to the store, enhancing its overall capabilities.

OXID eShop Visual CMS

The new store incorporates a user-friendly content management system that enables the creation of website content without requiring any programming expertise. This allows for easy customization of the navigation, the Hero product display, and product information in the listing. To facilitate this, an intuitive tile view with mouse-over functionality was implemented.

FactFinder Next Generation

The enhanced search now incorporates automatic category and product suggestions, along with a direct “add to cart” feature. These additions significantly improve the convenience of product searches for DELTA-V’s customers.
