What they needed our help with
ZeroPlus orginally approached Hyperext to integrate Linnworks with Sage 50 Accounts. After that had been running smoothly over 12 months ZeroPlus asked if we could develop a B2B Trade Portal integrated with Linnworks and Sage. UNiquely they wanted to populate the product details on the Trade Portal using their Product Catalogue on Linnworks and to ensure each customer using the trade portal wiould see their special prices for each product. They also needed their customers to be able to access their order history and delivery addresses. This would make it easy for trade customers to place orders 24/7/365 repeating previous orders if desired.
How we helped
Hyperext created an integrated e-commerce system using WordPress and WooCommerce. We developed a bespoke WordPress Plugin to drive the integrations with Linnworks for Product Catalogue and Sage 50 for Product Pricelists, Customer Account Status and Sales Order Processing.
The results we achieved
Since the trade portal has been rolled out to ZeroPlus trade customers, most of their customers have made good use of the portal, enjoying the instant access to accurate pricing and stock availability along with the flexibility to place and review orders whenever it suits them.
Sales are up now that the internal sales team spend more time selling and building relationships with customers instead of updating customers on pricing and availability and processing orders.
