Development and implementation of engineering systems
About the client
OOO "Berkut" is a large wholesale supplier of engineering systems. The customer's clients are construction organizations and contractors making wholesale orders. The catalog contains hundreds of names of construction products.
What kind of website did the client need?
The customer had a website whose design was irretrievably outdated, and Skill Cap should be on the crest of a wave as a participant in the modern mobile gaming industry. The main wish for the future design is conciseness, compliance with trends and image support for a large international company.
One of the tasks of the site is to attract talented applicants to the company. The content should clearly demonstrate the values and principles of the company as an employer.
Project objective
Development of the Estimate Configurator service. It is necessary:
Simplify the ordering process on the website and make purchasing more convenient.
Speed up the search for the desired product and provide the user with all the information necessary for ordering, including footage and total weight.
Generate a professional pdf and xlsx estimate based on the selected items.
Prototyping
Before starting the Configurator design, we paid attention to creating a prototype. This helped to correctly arrange all the blocks and design elements, and also significantly reduced the project implementation time.
Design
The customer's company has its own recognizable corporate style and identity, which must be used in the new Configurator. The designers combined image elements and coloristics with modern web design trends.
How the module works
The main task is to develop the most convenient and user-friendly tool that will help to make an accurate estimate and place an order. As a solution, we offered several convenient options:
For each product (when added to the estimate) there is a certain "quantity increase step", since the quantity of goods allowed for addition is different. For example, when selecting a pipe, you can add a section of 5 meters to the estimate. You cannot add 1 or 2 meters of pipe, therefore, in the "Quantity of goods" field, the length value will increase by 5 m.
It is envisaged that the total weight of the goods should be indicated in the estimate so that the buyer understands how he will be able to transport it.
The catalog on the site and in the configurator are interconnected, when adding/removing categories on the site, the same thing happens with the category in the configurator.
The configurator has separate options for enabling/disabling categories and sorting products.
After the estimate is created, the user fills in the form fields and clicks the "Send" button. The generated estimate is sent to the user's email in pdf format, and to the site administrator in pdf and xlsx format.
The main emphasis is on convenient product search in the configurator, so that the tool does not complicate the path to purchase, but makes it more comfortable, simultaneously solving additional user tasks.
