2021: Creating a B2B Portal

Task

Prior to the implementation of the portal, YOKOHAMA had a website and online store only for end users. Distributors and partners interacted with managers in the client department, and they in turn worked with mail and Excel. 50 partners in Russia regularly make wholesale purchases, for the processing of which the company contains a staff of managers.

The goal of the portal is to enable partners to quickly and conveniently make orders, increase the number of distributors and sales in Russia. Reduce the load on the front office.

Execution

To develop the site, the Bitrix platform was chosen to ensure the operability of the e-com project and integration with 1C, due to the customization of the finished CMS modules. Integration has become the most voluminous part of the project, due to the large amount of data: goods, articles, models, characteristics, distributors, contracts, invoices, prices, warehouse balances.

To find an item in the catalog, a cross-filter was developed on Ajax, which has a measure dependency that automatically limits the filter parameters. For example, by selecting a tire width parameter, its length and diameter automatically change to the appropriate values for a given width. An API was also developed so that distributors can request data on goods, order statuses and inventory balances, including items with product characteristics and pictures.

Credit limit

Moving to payment, each user sees their own set of prices, discounts and markups. They depend on the terms of the contract with the dealer. The customer always has the current amount of the available credit limit in the cabinet interface.

Achieved result

The release portal has just passed, but we can already say that the online tool for working with suppliers will give YOKOHAMA a competitive advantage in the market, "they say. Extyl- Thanks to the portal, the routine of account managers is minimized, and partners have the opportunity to save time by forming and tracking orders on their own.

At the final stage of the project, work began on the modernization of the online store for the B2C segment of YOKOHAMA and the development of a corporate website.
