Conrad Electronics
"We cannot isolate individual components like wings and casings to make composite images, we need to photograph each combination and have a practical way of feeding the configurator with these photos."
We keep stock for individual components of the products in our ERQ system. During configuration, we need to show dispatch times or make certain components temporarily unavailable.
"When the customer is done configuring, the components need to get passed to our ecommerce system’s cart."
We created a system that lets product managers configure the products like a regular customer and drag the right product image for the current configuration onto the page.
We defined a process of exchanging stock and pricing information with the client. Conrad was used to create CSV files accessible via FTP and we went along with handling stock this way. We set up a matching between configurator answers and Conrad article IDs to establish reference between both systems and setup recurring data synchronization scripts to read CSV files and update stock.
Once the customer hits ‘complete’ in the configurator, the configuration gets scanned for Conrad article IDs and our system passes article IDs through a simple HTTP-request-based API to add the appropriate articles into the Conrad’s cart.
