Business Requirements

Need of a customized and feature rich ecommerce portal for and growth of business

Zolace wanted to establish itself in the online retail business. Their main requirement was to build a customized web portal which would attract more and more customers, sell more products and ultimately generate more revenue. They mainly wanted the customized portal for Users with options to select products, view product description, zoom images to view the product from different angles, view related products, Add to Cart, Checkout, Order tracking, payment modules and shipping functionality.

Key Challenges

Zolace wanted to focus on building a portal that was customized and built with the Magento platform. Magento’s eCommerce platform offers tools needed to attract more customers. Zolace wanted to customize the in-built features that Magento has to offer as per their unique requirements without using them as is.

They wanted a website that was a pure ecommerce site with the standard ‘Add to cart’ option, and with a functionality that would allow users to enquire about the product details and to track their own orders after placing them.

Solution

						Our technology stack comprises of the open source Magento platform, JavaScript, Ajax and PHP. We suggested Magento as it offers rich administration interface and robust marketing tools.
For integration we included follow up email Magento Extension for easing the reminder and follow-up email process.
