"C-Line was on a mission to revamp its 20-year old website! After interviewing several companies, Klizer was the clear winner thanks to their dedicated team of professionals, competitive proposal, and ability to integrate the new site with our ERP system (P21). The end result is a high-functioning website. And even Post-Launch, we continue to maintain weekly calls. The Klizer team is very willing to assist in any way called upon – a true, solid partner."

Challenges

One of our biggest challenges was to implement a dealer locator with multiple locations across the country. Additionally, the structure, layout and functionality of the website was set with some old systems and we built it with current industry standards.

Our biggest challenge and favorite part of implementing this project was to cater equally to both B2B and B2C consumers- as both require different expertise and we were able to attain both! The eCommerce integration for Magento 2 and P21 helped us attain a seamless migration too and ultimately, choosing the right payment gateway for a client as vast as this was also something we achieved successfully.

Project highlights

With migration of data worth 70 years plus aiming at a smooth frontend, here are the primary implementations we carried out for this project:

Customer Registration

Registration forms were made differently for both B2B and B2C- with both online and offline sync.

Menu navigation

Implementation of the same menu navigation using mega menu in Magento 2.x. for both B2B & B2C websites.

Product Search

ElasticSearch was integrated so that the users could look up products using attributes, synonyms & stop words for both B2B and B2C websites. We also integrated search auto suggestions with functionality in the search input box.

Product detail page

The user can access the product detail page by clicking on a product from the product listing page. We offer our price and bulk price keeping in mind varying customer interests.

Checkout & Payments system

We zeroed in on WorldPay for checkout and payment gateway system for seamless checkout process. This gateway was made available for both credit cards and other payment methods.

Shipping

The client partnered with FedEx to deliver all the products to B2B and B2C Users.
