Project description

The online store King Auto was originally launched and worked for a long time on the Bitrix platform. This continued until the company was faced with the problem of updating the feature set, but the developers who made the online store, for some reason, could not effectively update the new functions, making a reference to the modularity of the existing platform and that it is impossible to move away from the “boxed” solution. At some point, this response ceased to suit the customer and we were invited to restart the project from scratch. 

We have been familiar with the management of King Auto for quite a long time (15 years exactly) and came in contact with each other in the development of projects for other business. We were invited to relaunch an existing online store on our own platform. It was jointly decided to keep the existing design in order to reduce the cost and timing of the launch. The only thing we need is to redo the whole design on a modern Bootstrap framework and integrate the result into our online store engine.

After about 5 months, we completely restarted the project. We offered a unique solution to use the existing in the company 1C build to store not only the commodity nomenclature, but also absolutely all store data, such as the tree circuit of product categories and filters for selecting products. Thus, we have brought the catalog management to one single place - via 1C, which is very convenient for the customer, and the smart synchronizer collects and updates this data on the site automatically.

So far King Auto online shop is constantly evolving and updated with new features. Not so long ago, we developed a new section “Spare parts”, the uniqueness of which is that it takes data via API (softwear bridge) of the official TecDoc gateway, picks up product categories and integrates the resulting information into its database, completely mocking the situation as if the TecDoc sections are its own categories, following all the rules of SEO. We've been having trouble with the optimization, as the TecDoc database contains millions of products and tens of thousands of categories. It has been decided to enter into the site during synchronization only those cards that are on sale (100,000+ items) during synchronization. The migration of the project to the Google cloud has also played a significant positive role. The customer was grateful to us and this gratitude is mutual. Further on - only straight ahead, there are still a lot of ideas that can and should be implemented and improved the product
