Hello everyone, I am a newby OFBiz user and I recently joined this mailing list. I work for an italian softwarehouse, MpStyle srl, that offers professional ERP solutions for fashion/apparel industry. About one year ago one of our customers asked us to develop an eCommerce solution, to increase the visibility of his company. After some evaluations we chose OFBiz as platform. The original project consisted of two sub-projects: as first there was the development of a Brand Web Site, that replaced old one. All the contents in the site were built with OFBiz Content Manager application, taking advantage of DataResource-ElectronicText-Content entities. This site went live at the end of January 2017. After that we start working on the second part of the project, that is the eCommerce application. Some of the requirements that the customer requested included:
- multi-store catalog pricing rules (to sell in the 19 countries of the Euro Zone); - interfacing the pick-pack-shipping phases with an external logistic company that also take care of passing the packed order to a carrier company (different if the shipping has destination Italy or not); - interfacing the returns with the above logistic company; - integration with Unicredit Online Payment system, through their web services; - possibility to make a return in a retail store (with a notify mail both to customer and store), or online, and choose from two different types of refund; - redirect users from different countries, to their "correct" web stores, through a geolocation service; and more. This part surely was challenging and difficult, but the eCommerce finally went live on the first days of March. We are still working to improve it, but it works and we'd like to share with the community and everyone interested, the experience and our knowledge gained with this project, hoping to help the OFBiz project to grow even more and stay more involved in it. For those interested, is possible to check the final result of our work, at www.livianaconti.com. Thanks to all!
