Challenge
The project requirements presented a number of complex challenges that our team successfully overcame. A key aspect was the migration of content from the previous system to Shopware 6. To ensure this data transfer was secure and error-free, a custom migration profile was developed, enabling a smooth transition from the old platform.
Another critical aspect was the integration of Klever Schuhe's existing ERP system into the Shopware environment. The flexibility of open-source commerce played a key role here, allowing for the seamless integration of extensions like the ERP system. This ensured close synchronization between the systems, enabling real-time updates and synchronization of inventory data and orders. Additionally, custom plugins were developed to adapt the functionality of the Shopware platform to the specific needs of Klever Shoes. For example, the 'Click & Reserve' extension was developed to connect with the BITS-ERP, allowing customers to check stock availability at nearby stores and try on shoes in-store.
Furthermore, numerous industry-specific adjustments that were embedded in the previous solution were successfully transferred to Shopware. These included optimized product displays and tailored sales processes, which are now seamlessly integrated into the new system.
