Project Intro

FarmBox started in 2016 with an idea to make shopping for fresh and tasty produce easy, affordable, and convenient for all the family. Fast forward many years and that ambition has not changed. Quality is their guarantee – they work with local farms to offer the freshest fruit and vegetables from ‘Farm to Farmbox’, whilst working with partners to offer premium meat and fish from sustainable sources, their curated pantry items include some of the most loved local and international brands including a range of choice for lifestyle dietary followers.

Project Description

Farmbox is a fully integrated eCommerce website, from product sourcing to last-mile delivery. Our tech allows them to offer one of the most advanced solutions in recurring grocery and farm-fresh produce deliveries.We are also committed to fully optimizing their sourcing and supply chain with the development of dedicated technologies. Initially funded with limited friends & family capital, it took only 18 months for Farmbox to show its potential and secure a 5 years investment plan from one of the leading Abu Dhabi-based investment bodies.

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.
