Project Overview
Although Enkador has been an old player in the market, but they had restricted growth as their reach was limited. They were operating in a pure offline model due to unpopularity of ecommerce in their vertical. They were in need of a completely functional eCommerce website to emerge as a big player in their vertical in Ecuador. They opted for using Magento as their storefront. Also, they were using SAP ERP. Consequently, they were in need of a smart and intelligent ERP-Ecommerce integration platform to seamlessly transfer and maintain data between the applications.
The Challenges
- Due to the initial vertical-based unpopularity of eCommerce, Enkador’s static website was not functional enough to meet up with the growing eCommerce demands and marketing challenges. They needed a more SEO-friendly, stable solution to meet the reach for marketing needs as well as B2B business scenarios/functionalities.
- With the use of multiple business applications, the real-time price simulation for B2B customers from SAP ERP to Magento was a necessity.
- Real-time B2B customer inclusion/exclusion for specific products needed to be reflected in Magento from SAP ERP.
- Maintaining a multilingual store – able to cater to a large audience.
- Manual data entry and duplicate data created more issues and cost.
The Solutions

- After knowing about all their requirements and evaluating a lot of platforms, APPSeCONNECT suggested Enkador to use the Magento 2 eCommerce platform. The Magento experts at APPSeCONNECT helped them adopt the B2B ecommerce portal.
