Major Fixes
Apart from their eCommerce store migration from OpenCart to Magento, Klizer also added fixes to ensure a seamless shopping experience across all touchpoints — from the homepage to the final checkout.
The website UI needed a fresh makeover. The cart-checkout flow needed some finesse to it. The customer registration process had to be reworked to ensure customers were registered without any barriers.
Klizer also wanted Zuo Modern’s products page to be vivid with all the relevant product data supported with visual imagery to empower and convert the visitors into buyers. Besides, we set out to break the bundle that managing large data is a tough nut to crack whenever there are updates with product content because it’s actually not.
Our most exciting part? Integrating their backend systems — ERP and eCommerce — so the data flow between the two is done real-time and batch basis, and not a single beat is left missing. This way, manual data entry and human intervention was eliminated maximum.
Solutions
The client felt the need to automate data transfers and business processes across its major applications. They wanted their front-end and back-end applications to talk to each other and eliminate human intervention for data transfer. Furthermore, the clients’ integration requirements included complex data transfer logic to connect with Epicor Prophet 21 which the native Prophet 21 API was unable to cater to.
Theme
Integrate a new theme into the eCommerce store Magento Migration for better visibility and deliver fast-loading pages.
Migration
Back then, hosted on OpenCart, Zuomd wanted to migrate onto Magento to create robust shopping experiences for customers.
Better Usability
No one likes shopping the hard way. Using the default functionalities of Magento Open Source, the usability meter was elevated.
eCommerce ERP Integration
Zuo Modern wanted to integrate their Prophet 21 ERP with the newly built Magento eCommerce using DCKAP Integrator connectors.
Data Migration
All the existing data on their current website, which included customers, products, and orders’ data, had to be migrated safely.
Custom Implementations
A change in their shipping, payment, and tax method software to build fast and extraordinary checkout experiences.
Solutions Offered
As more brands are dipping their toes into online selling, Klizer holistically worked for Zuo Modern to rebuild and design an eCommerce store that’s consistent across multi-platform and scalable over time.
Going by the solutions, Klizer integrated the new Porto theme, gave a fresh look to the website, and made it more intuitive. A two-level registration form is created for existing customers and the new customers to have an exclusive option to request web-account access.
Coming to the product pages, the products listing and detail pages are implemented with dynamic pricing calls. Likewise, the products are coupled with necessary data so that the customers know more.
And as Zuo Modern requested, Custom Implementations are integrated for Payments, Shipping, and Tax. Worldpay payment method is integrated with tokenization method to sync with ERP solution to authorize client payments in the ERP.
Regarding Warehouses (Shipping) — FedEx custom integration was implemented to support the multiple warehouses and custom shipping rates offered by Zuo Modern. And Klizer also customized the display of shipping rates on the checkout page, making them more accessible.
Even fetching the relevant tax rates compatible in different regions was made simple by implementing Avalara Tax Integration into the website.
Lastly, DCKAP Integrator, middleware was brought in to sync their Magento and P21 for real-time data sync between ERP and eCommerce. This way, manual tasks are automated, reduce operational costs, better decision making with data-backed insights, greater control, and more.
With Magento Migration and intuitive integrations, Klizer collaborated with Zuo Modern to advance the eCommerce curve and competitors.
