The task was to setup and operate a modern B2B web shop with a variety of supplementary functions that would provide our customers with a significantly increased value through the direct integration into Navision while also increasing the efficiency of our internal processes. We achieved this objective after just a brief period of operating the new web shop. That meant significant increases in the number of users and sales values for our web shop. Our internal process flows, both in the maintenance of the web shop as well as in order processing and logistics, are now significantly more efficient.

The project objective was the implementation of a new website as well as the construction of a B2B shop with extensive functions employing the business logic of Microsoft Dynamics NAV ERP. The new solution was intended to completely replace the company's existing website and dealer area. The shop needed to provide a variety of information even without the dealer login. The ordering function and other extra services would require the existence of a dealer account, however.
The solution in detail
Until a dedicated Product Information System (PIM) could be introduced to manage product data, the web shop system should temporarily assume all responsibility for that task. As soon as the company introduces a PIM, the project will expand to include a corresponding stage handling the necessary switchover, moving catalogue data from the new system to the online shop.
The website and the online shop would be implemented for five countries (Germany, Austria, Belgium, Netherlands, Denmark) as well as in an international version.
silver.solutions implemented the project on the basis of the silver.basic online shop system. The web connector handles the connection to the ERP system. The integrated ECMS serves as a product information system for the ABUS Security-Center, i.e. all products and goods groups are managed directly in the shop's backend.After an initial import of the master data to start the shop, the system now handles all product descriptions and images supplemented with downloads, technical data, product highlights, certificates and similar elements for more than 2000 products. The Microsoft Dynamics NAV ERP system supplies information relevant to the ordering process, including country-specific pricing, potential block indicators, various statuses, parts list data and information on sets and new items. Numerous customisations and special requirements were implemented for the online shop. Product-related customisations:
- Country-specific assignment of products depending on the countries in which they should be displayed or sold
- Various country-based list prices
- Display of compatible products and accessories for a product
- Display of best sellers
- Dynamic creation of data sheets for a product
- Sales of intangible products, e.g. partner status and warrantee extensions
Import and export functions:
- Import of price lists for each customer group
- Conversion of the shopping cart for a given offer into Excel
- Creation of price lists in Excel
- Creation of ZIP files for data sheets and images
Customer-specific functions:
- Display of various promotions for specific customer groups, including related rebates
- Display of customer group-specific news
- Customer centre
- Customer profile questionnaire during initial registration
Custom shop functions:
- General info boxes and info boxes for specific product groups
- Software and image search in the online catalogue
- Save function for shopping cart for registered users
- Express ordering
- Order history
- Dealer search
- Sale of second-quality merchandise
The result
Within 10 months an extensive, individual eCommerce solution had been developed and optimally integrated into the company's workflow.Dealers can now work with a state-of-the-art online shop that offers numerous extra functions.
