Development of Omni-Channel Retail solution & PWA on Magento 2 in Health and Beauty Domain

 

About the Customer

Our customer is a leading producer and supplier of the finest perfumes (Eastern and Western) and home fragrances in the Middle East.
 

Business Challenge

The website of the customer faced several technical glitches during promotional activities. It also lacked a streamlined approach for SCM (Source Code Management) and displayed inaccuracies in the usage of SCM & CI/CD tools.

The customer desired to update the existing sales platform and enhance their product portfolio. The primary requirement was to develop an intuitive and user-friendly website with high performance attributes.
 

Embitel Solution

Our experienced Magento 2 consultants assisted the customer in the analysis phase and developed a plan to enhance the overall performance of the website.

The ecommerce store received a fresh design and PWA application using Magento 2 Commerce Cloud Edition version 2.3.4.

ScandiPWA, a Magento-first, read-to-use theme, was used for a seamless, fuss-free PWA implementation on Magento 2.

Migration of Customer Details, Catalog (Categories, Products, Attributes) and Sales Orders from the current system was also done.

Key highlights of our solution include:

  • Logistics Service Provider (LSP) integration of Labaih, Safe Arrival, Ajeek and SMSA Express.
  • Merchant Services Provider (PSP) integration of Payfort, STC Pay, Payfort (Apple Pay).
  • Microsoft Dynamics 365 ERP Integration.
  • Integrations for Communication – Helpdesk and Chat.
  • Majority of users access the website through mobile devices and hence, the business desired a mobile-friendly solution. We suggested using PWA as the Mobile-First approach. Thus, using PWA features like Add to Home Screen, Push Notifications & Offline Access and a Mobile-First UI, the CX was increased manyfold, leading to repeat purchase and high conversion ratio.
  • Headless Magento was implemented for faster and highly scalable commerce solution.
  • Omni-channel strategy was implemented, allowing retail stores spread across the Middle East to act as fulfillment centers.
