Efficient E-commerce Solution for Growag AG: Seamless Integration of CoreShop, Proffix, and Algolia

Growag AG, a leading company in the field of firefighting technology, faced the challenge of optimizing its e-commerce platform to keep pace with the company’s growth while providing an exceptional customer experience. In collaboration with our team, a comprehensive solution was developed based on the combination of Pimcore as the CMS, CoreShop as the e-commerce platform, and Proffix as the ERP system. One of the key components of this solution was the integration of CoreShop and Proffix via web events to enable real-time synchronization of product data and orders. While the integration of CoreShop proceeded smoothly, customizing it to meet the unique requirements of Proffix proved to be a challenge, but one that was successfully overcome. Additionally, Algolia was used to index over 7,000 products, significantly improving search and navigation on the e-commerce website. The seamless integration of Algolia allowed Growag AG’s customers to search for products quickly and efficiently, providing an optimized shopping experience. The introduction of various product variants allowed for better adaptation to customer needs. A clear distinction was made between corporate customers (fire departments) and private customers, enabling the company to better address the specific requirements and needs of each group. Different discounting and payment options were implemented based on customer segments, making the shopping process easier for both groups. We also designed the platform's layout to ensure a user-friendly and visually appealing interface. The result of these efforts was an efficient e-commerce solution that enabled Growag AG to optimize its business processes, increase customer satisfaction, and drive further growth. This case study provides insight into the successful collaboration and the outcomes achieved.
