Platforms

Imagine you’re a whale, and everybody’s watching. You need all of your maneuverability, now! That’s what the situation was for the client, in a nutshell.

The giant producer needed their heavy B2B portal refabricated into a power-added product cataloging machine. Handling the challenge with a sprinter speed, Amitech Group rolled out a headless solution with minimized TCO, geared towards marathon business competitions.

PROJECT BACKGROUND

Inefficient resource allocation

The client markets a wide range of products on a continental scale across a continuously growing distributor base. Therefore, governing their massive B2B portal content and navigating product lists is an intensely effort-consuming job.

CLIENT’S OBJECTIVES

To facilitate their website management and support while streamlining product cataloging and comparison, the client needed the existing portal revamped, ASAP.

CHALLENGE

Progress roadblocks

The difficulties in product choice and matching were time-sensitive, blocking the overall efficiency of the client’s supply chain process.

To ultimately accelerate the solution makeover, the team has sealed the deal to reuse the earlier project code. This helped finalize the delivery 4+ times faster as compared to the previous cycle.

VENDOR COMPETITION WIN

Our previous project with this client focused on migration of one of their B2B distributor portals, which was a success. Since Amitech Group has proved a trusted partner and gained the client’s assurance by delivering on the promise, the team got the second contract in a row.

SOLUTION

Headless catalog platform

Amitech Group has redesigned the client’s existing subsidiary portal into a headless BigCommerce-based manufacturer catalog platform. Other than promoting marketing materials via static pages, it serves as a highly flexible B2B catalog management system.

CAPABILITIES

Instant distributor search and easy navigation
Builder.io-powered content management
Table view for the product listing page
Dynamic attribute extraction from the catalog
Instant product feature comparison
