Shopify experts at DCKAP have always been cognizant of solving the digital eCommerce pain points of our clients. Most of Quality Farm Supply’s complications were because they were operating on a custom platform. Some of the other challenges they faced were:

• Quality Farm Supply had a static website initially and so the website’s User Experience and User Interface had to be done from scratch to bring in more traction.
• There were a lot of dependencies involved that made data migration from PIM (Product Information Management) to Shopify Advanced tricky.
• Enabling the integration between Shopify with 30,000 SKUs and the Epicor P21 ERP was another add-on to the hurdles.
• Since the website was outdated and had an older design, connecting the Epicor P21 ERP to PIM (Product Information Management) involved a lot of manual processes.
• Earlier, the data was being manually entered into the systems which were time-consuming and prone to errors. And they also wanted to increase the Customer Experience.

Quality Farm Supply was new to the eCommerce way of selling, and they need that integration of ERP and eCommerce in the backend is as important as impressing the customers with an alluring store in the frontend. The team approached DCKAP Integrator to integrate the information from critical use cases to streamline the business and give a consistent customer experience at every digital touchpoint, with connected data.

Our certified Shopify developers optimized the website with an enhanced user experience to fulfill Quality Farm Supply’s expectations. The design stage involved an intricate process to provide a fully customizable Shopify site to meet the ever-evolving necessities of the client and the end-users.

The Homepage, CMS(Content Management System) pages like contact us, about us pages, PLP(Product Listing Pages), PDP(Product Display Pages) were designed to be intuitive and user-friendly to retain the visitor on the website for a longer time. PLP page has some customized attribute filters which allow users to search the products and provide a better user experience.

DCKAP used Shopify custom private apps and APIs to develop the following:

• Custom Mega Menu
• Category Listing Pages
• Brands Page
• Product Listing Page Sidebar
• Make-Type Model Functionality

DCKAP’s expert Shopify Team developed a custom private app called “PIM Integration” that was used as a bridge between TriactivPIM and Shopify platform. All products and category menus were managed and the information was synced in a private app with options to enable or disable. This app also provides the option for Make-Type-Model data to be imported into the website.

From a tech perspective, our Shopify developers created valid codes that comply with current web standards and also ensure improved functionality, as well as wider accessibility for the customers. Appropriately placed interactive contact forms and enhanced shopping carts were ensured to create an aesthetically pleasing experience for the website visitors.

DCKAP implemented two types of searches for an easier shopping experience:

• Customers can search by entering products name, keywords, etc.
• Autocomplete will be available to select from suggestions
• Select the product that will be redirected to the PDP

• Customers can search based on Make Type Model
• Displays the products related to concerned parameters
• Shoppers can further drill down results using these filters

DCKAP’s Shopify Experts had integrated the website with Triactive PIM for managing the categories of all available products and their information. It helped to ensure better functionality when the client could Sync the product’s and category information in a single click using the Shopify Custom App.
