The Magento Marketplace for Innovators<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

THE LATEST<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

The experimental retail concept THE LATEST is shopping 2.0. In the offline store in Berlin, \u201cthe law of democracy\u201d prevails. None of the innovative, exclusive, and smart products are given special prominence. Instead, QR codes connect the real world with the digital world. In THE LATEST online shop, customers can find background information on the innovative items. It’s not about selling the same old junk, but about shopping as a unique, new, and forward-looking experience. We created a marketplace solution from Magento 2 for the company Avantgarde GmbH. The only catch with this awesome project: we only had eight weeks…<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Magento Shop: Express Version<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Last Shall Be First!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

If you know anything about e-commerce, Magento, and merchandise management, you can imagine what it means to build a Magento 2 store, develop and integrate a custom module for the manufacturers within the Marketplace solution, connect inventory management, and, just when you think you’re done, rethink the whole concept because the legal department is on strike. Knorke accomplished this feat after a preparatory conception phase \u2014 not in 2 years, not in 6 months, but in 8 weeks \u2014 from offer to MVP. Don’t mention the coffee shop bill and the overtime balance\u2026 That’s when the brand name THE LATEST took on a whole new meaning.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

All for One and One for All<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The “Marketplace” Module<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

THE LATEST’s underlying principle is to create an off- and online platform for innovative and exclusive products. Therefore, the assortment of the online store is composed of products from very different manufacturers and suppliers. Each of these suppliers needs its own legal terms and conditions and imprint to operate on the platform. To address this issue, Knorke created a custom Magento module, which turns the Magento backend into somewhat of a marketplace. The order processing is automated, while the suppliers handle the shipping themselves.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

A Well-Rounded Result<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Magento Integration With Inventory Management<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

To ensure smooth order processing and accounting and inventory management despite complex supplier relationships, we connected the merchandise management system Cegid directly to Magento. Because this integration took some serious brainpower, we called in the talented guys and gals from MSPos and Retail IT. The inventory integration in Magento was also part of the MVP, so it was up and running just in time for the launch of THE LATEST. We are mighty proud!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
