The challenge
|
|
Findel Education determined that the adoption of a single standardised e-commerce platform across all their divisions with the ability to adjust the functionality, layout and design for each brand would be highly beneficial to the business.

|
The solution
|
Findel evaluated various options for taking their ecommerce strategy forward, with a long standing relationship with several of the regional brands Netalogue had a proven ability to deliver and was awarded the contract to provide a single back end core ecommerce platform that was fully integrated with both their SAP and Axapta ERP systems.
With a diverse range of customers ranging from typical B2C purchasers through to large public sector bodies with complex e-procurement requirements it was a necessity to have a solution that covered the demands of all customers within a unified and seamless user interface.
