Carletto AG, based in Wädenswil, supplies the specialist shops with excellent products and concepts for a successful toy trade. Thanks to the new web shop, their customers can order the entire product range conveniently online. soXes was allowed to take over the technical conception and development of this Magento shop within the framework of this exciting project.

This B2B web shop does not only include standard functions such as extended search or filter functions resp. watch lists or change of the display format in the shop but also a number of attractive special functions: Thanks to the instant order function, retailers can import their order as an xls file and thus automatically generate a filled shopping cart. In addition, field staff or specialist dealers can create customised article sheets or generate quick catalogues according to their selection via the web shop. In addition to all these functions, this shop offers a comprehensive image download in various image formats and resolutions as well as a download of price lists and entire data sets.

In this project, soXes was able to bring its own broad IT experience and expertise in the Magento area to bear in a targeted manner and successfully and sustainably implement a further project.

 

Kunde:	Lucullus SA
Applikation:	Lucullus
Technologie:	Magento Shop, SASS, Joomla

Lucullus SA, based in Stans, is a successful wine trading company known among connoisseurs, specialising in rarities and top wines. Lucullus has a webshop, which is primarily used by wine dealers. In 2010 soXes was allowed to carry out the technical implantation of the new Lucullus website - based on Magento Commerce. Since then, soXes has continuously maintained and expanded the Lucullus webshop.

Clear filter functions simplify the search within the Lucullus webshop. Alternatively the full text search makes it easier to find the wine you are looking for. The Lucullus webpage has been technically optimized by soXes in such a way that search results (even with more than 3'000 records) are listed within seconds. Short response times are of great importance at Lucullus.ch, as it is primarily wine merchants who use the webshop.
soXes has also expanded the shop with a specially developed direct import function. With this function, over 3,700 wines can be imported directly into the database in just a few minutes. The time-consuming procedure of Magento Commerce via Entity Attribute Value Model, according to which each record is transferred individually to the database, could thus be avoided. The direct import developed by soXes is directly linked to Magento Commerce. This means that the user can simply start the import directly via the Magento interface.

In this project, soXes was able to adapt the Magento application to meet the high demands of the customer. soXes showed the customer ideas and ways to technically optimize the web shop.

How do my friends rate services and products?
In this project, soXes has been commissioned to create an app that answers this question. SoXes not only wrote and implemented the technical specification and concept, but also the layout according to the CI/CD templates of the customer.
The Maxxoon app offers the user the possibility to evaluate any kind of product and service in a few seconds. Via EAN/QCode Scanner the app recognises the product to be evaluated with one click. Now all the user has to do is enter his rating. The Maxxoom App takes over the product database from Amazon, so that a comprehensive description including picture and manufacturer information is displayed for each product.

A clearly arranged list shows the user's own product ratings. Another list shows the ratings of the own friends. In the detailed information of the individual products, it is also visible how the product has been rated overall, i.e. by all users in total.
Furthermore, a search mask including full-text search and filter functions makes it possible to find articles where scanning the barcode is not possible.

In this project, soXes not only provided the customer with optimal technical advice, but also implemented the solution and implementation in the back end in a targeted manner. The challenge lay in handling a very large amount of data and the connection of various interfaces (such as Facebook). soXes advised the customer on usability design in advance and implemented the design of the app accordingly.

 

Kunde:	Weber Bekleidung AG
Applikation:	Mode Weber
Technologie:	Python, web2py, Webservices, Android, iOS, PhoneGap, Interfaces, Apache

Mode Weber is the leading East Swiss fashion house for ladies and men's fashion. The family business with strong local roots was founded in 1919 by Ernst Weber and is now managed by the third generation. It has six Mode Weber branches as well as Esprit, Street One, Marc O'Polo Shops and a Nile Shop.

Today Mode Weber has a customer card, the so-called Webercard. As soon as purchases reach a total value of CHF 1,000, the customer receives CHF 50 in cash.

Mode Weber has commissioned soXes to pack the popular Webercard into a smartphone app for Android and iOS. The proven principle is very simple: All purchases are synchronized with the smartphone thanks to the connection to the merchandise management system. When the total amount of 1,000 francs is reached, the customer can create a credit note (cash bonus) for the cash payment of the 50 francs in the form of a QR code.  

Within the app, the user also has the option of viewing and changing his profile information at any time. The current account balance shows how much the customer still has to buy for in order to receive his Cash Bonus. The bonus received can then be activated and redeemed at any time on the app. The app also enables the fashion house to contact its customers at any time via push message and send them additional personalized bonus coupons.

To provide the app with the necessary data, soXes designed and implemented the backend of the app. The information is retrieved from Mode Weber ERM (merchandise management system) and made available via the app's interface. The backend provides additional functions such as bonus management, push message management, etc. and is only available to selected Mode Weber employees.

This project is based on the programming language Python and uses Apache as web server. In order to make optimal use of existing resources, reduce programming hours and save costs, soXes has used the open source framework web2py, which is itself written in Python. soXes uses open source technology wherever possible and reasonable.

 

Kunde:	Gertsch Consulting & Mode Vision AG
Applikation:	POD - Pattern on Demand
Technologie:	ASP.NET, Windows Applikation, Outsourcing

Gertsch Consulting und Mode Vision AG offers consulting and software for the clothing and fashion industry. This includes software for style development, the creation and editing of cuts as well as solutions for individualised tailor-made clothing. Since individualised made-to-measure clothing is currently one of the most important megatrends in the clothing and fashion industry, Gertsch Consulting und Mode Vision has commissioned the soXes GmbH team to help develop a solution in this area.

The aim was to develop an application for the acquisition of measurements for garments, which once acquired can then be automatically sent to a garment production company, where the corresponding garment is produced to measure. Gertsch Consulting and Mode Vision already had a software solution in use. Within the scope of this project, the task was to have soXes develop and improve the existing solution from scratch and make it web-capable.  

This successful cooperation resulted in the successful software solution POD - Pattern on Demand, which is used today in various clothing companies. Via the B2B2C-capable (Business to Business, Business to Consumer) webshop, the customer can act as a co-designer and individually create his or her fashion according to the offer of the supplier. For example, it is possible to design his individual shirt/blouse or suit/costume to measure. The customer sees by means of visualization what he changes, selects and how he designs the garment.
The platform provides a very extensive range of functionalities from which a supplier of individual fashion can choose. Fabrics, linings, contrasts, materials, embroideries and variants can be recorded and managed. In addition, the customer has the possibility to individually print the fabric. This includes the colour-controlled selection of brand logos, the upload of own images (e.g. club or company logos), as well as the generation of text images to mark an article with your own lettering. The integrated solution also offers the possibility to inform customers or retailers fully automatically about the progress of an order via e-mail templates. The status of the order is also logged in the web shop.

Thanks to this solution, Gertsch Consulting und Mode Vision AG can generate significant added value for its customers.
Because more and more companies nowadays want to offer customers the opportunity to help shape their personal clothing style as co-designers. This concept also breaks up the classic production and supply chains, as production and delivery is only done on demand. The POD solution takes these two circumstances into account.

 

Kunde:	EFCO Befestigungstechnik AG
Applikation:	EFCO Online Shop
Technologie:	Magento 2 , PHP, Mailchimp, Stripe Payment, Redis, MySQL, SFTP XML

EFCO is the specialist in fastening technology for conversions and renovations and a leading Swiss manufacturer of innovative fastening products. EFCO has been operating an online shop for the distribution of its products for some time. This was implemented with the first version of the open source e-commerce solution Magento. EFCO commissioned soXes to update their online shop to the new version of Magento and to implement some new features.

In a first step, a full specification was created using the existing online shop as a basis, which was enhanced with new features. An updated design concept for the shop was also created to match EFCO's corporate identity. Subsequently, the Magento 2 shop was developed according to the specification and the design concept.

The newly implemented online shop facilitates the purchasing process of fastening materials, light as well as heavy construction machines and their accessories for builders. Several thousand products are available in the shop and linked to each other. Packages of, for example, construction machinery and accessories are designed to simplify the purchasing process for customers. The product structure was precisely adapted to the connected ERP in order to simplify the administration and accounting processes. In addition, it is possible for customers to create a company account with admins. The admins are able to add further users and manage their rights. User rights include which products can be purchased, spending limits or available means of payment.

The modernised shop offers EFCO customers an improved shopping experience with sophisticated filter options, account options and a cleanly structured product range. In addition, the previously incorrectly implemented connection to the company's own ERP was revised and improved. Thanks to the modernisation, EFCO's online shop is once again efficient and competitive.
