The software for product configuration in the air electronics industry is exceptionally sophisticated, as both purchase and sales of ventilation systems require a high level of technical know-how. To further complicate TROX’s case, their software also needed to be integrated into a webshop system.
Our digital agency partner dotSource based the development of TROX's new commerce system on commercetools Composable Commerce, as well as on Amazon Web Services’ (AWS) cloud-based functions, enabling the connection to the existing ERP system. Using the new product finder solution, an algorithm permanently running in the background will determine if the customer’s desired components suit one another and if this combination can be produced at all.
After being validated, the final product will be added to the shopping cart ready to be ordered. Both processes — adding to the cart and ordering — are made possible thanks to the commercetools flexible API.
During the workshops, we found out that for TROX, the Internet of Things is a topic for the future. What if TROX’s facilities were capable of generating data by themselves, which would be then sent back to the commerce solution in the future? Thus, for instance, spare parts could be ordered and maintenance provided. All this will be sustained in the future, thanks to the flexibility of commercetools.
