Project Intro

AwesomeBooks was born from a love for books: to not see books thrown away when they can still be read and their stories shared.
They create ways to collect books that people no longer want,
selling them to their customers around the world and donating
them to literacy programs they work with.It is their mission to champion a different model of retailing – circular economy
retailing – positively contributing to sustainability and literacy,
driven by a passion for books. So when you buy from Awesome
Books, they help you make an impact with every book.

Project Description

AwesomeBooks, with its 9 million catalogues, is the largest catalogue size Commerce9 have handled till date. We successfully completed the migration of AwesomeBooks from asp.net to Laravel as well as Database Migration by facing the challenges put forward by such a huge database. We also built and designed a custom theme for them.
The website was completely redesigned and all the issues faced by users were properly addressed and solved. With this we could increase the conversion ratio by almost 10 times. We used Content Delivery Network so that the overall speed could be enhanced. The server setup was shifted to a multi-server architecture in AWS. We have a special satisfaction in the project as we helped them to fulfil their social service dream.

Challenge

Our client already had a developed online store. However, the company needed to implement new features, eliminate shortcomings in existing ones, and fix bugs and crashes on the website. To fulfill these tasks, the company hired IntexSoft team.

Solution

The first task performed by IntexSoft specialists was migratation of the online store to a new version of the e-commerce platform OXID eShop.The creation and editing of goods in the online store are rendered into separate systems – Navision and censhare. The IntexSoft team had to synchronize the work of the online store with these systems. The SOAP protocol was used to implement the communication with Navision and censhare. The developers created modules for data import into the online store.The IntexSoft team developed features for discount code verification with Navision. Thanks to synchronization, the system offers an automatic discount to users who buy several products from one category.
