Horton is an enterprise distributor of engine cooling solutions and systems in the USA. It specializes in designing and manufacturing engine cooling fans, fan drives, and related components for on- and off-highway vehicles, motor coaches, buses, construction and agricultural equipment, generators, etc.
They wanted to create an online shopping portal for their B2B customers. They needed this portal to take product information from a system called OptiCat and display it in a way that was easy for their customers to use.
Horton encountered substantial obstacles in eCommerce Data Migration from OptiCat to an eCommerce platform, struggling with technical issues and broader data management concerns. They were unable to import 360-degree images for their products. Addressed primarily, their data import task demanded careful attention to integration and management, aiming to develop a user-friendly interface to improve sales team efficiency and accessibility.
Horton aimed to create a business-to-business (B2B) purchasing platform for their clients, which required the conversion and display of product information sourced from Opticat. They looked for B2B eCommerce integration.
Wagento suggested the client to go with Adobe Commerce and its specialized B2B functionalities to meet the project requirements. To begin with eCommerce Data Migration, we employed OptiCat’s APIs for seamless migration, transformation, and presentation of product data and assets directly into Adobe Commerce. Our team of experts put significant effort into refining and adapting the product data and assets to be compatible with Adobe Commerce. Moreover, we established a synchronization mechanism between Horton’s ERP system and their eCommerce website, ensuring inventory updates every 30 minutes through CSV file integration. We successfully addressed technical challenges, such as incorporating 360-degree product images. As a result, Horton’s eCommerce platform now showcases all products with comprehensive 360-degree imagery.
The team at Wagento also enhanced the customer experience by allowing users to modify shipping addresses independently without affecting the billing information managed by Horton’s ERP system. This allowed us to implement B2B eCommerce for their platform.
Moreover, we introduced an innovative part number cross-reference tool. This tool allows customers to search for products using competitors’ part numbers, making it easier to find corresponding stock-keeping units (SKUs) within Horton’s product range. This addition significantly improves the user experience, simplifying the product search and selection process for customers.
The implementation delivered several significant benefits for Horton apart from just creating a B2B store and eCommerce Data Migration.
Horton is now equipped to handle B2B orders through their website, where customers can easily access inventory information, obtain precise shipping estimates, and utilize Buy Online, Pick-up In Store (BOPIS) features independently, without the need for customer service interaction. All this is because of seamless B2B eCommerce and successful eCommerce Data Migration from OptiCat to Adobe Commerce. Wagento’s expertise in Adobe Commerce transformed Horton’s vision into a dynamic B2B eCommerce reality. Overcoming technical challenges and enhancing the user experience, the seamless OptiCat to Adobe Commerce integration exemplifies innovation in eCommerce solutions, setting a benchmark for future endeavors in the industry.
We used Adobe Commerce to benefit from the advantages it offers. Adobe Commerce doesn’t just handle transactions; it also delivers captivating shopping experiences. This platform provides a comprehensive insight into customer interactions, boosting your digital store’s effectiveness. It enables online store owners who wish to implement B2B eCommerce integration. Featuring integrated SEO and mobile optimization, Adobe Commerce is more than just an option; it’s a transformative force for businesses across the spectrum, propelling revenue expansion.
