Significant savings in logistics.

We had already been working with our Client before, having designed the first version of their website on the Magento 1 platform. The decision to migrate to a newer version was a natural next step.

Client

Activeshop was founded in 2003 and, in just fifteen years, became the largest manufacturer, importer, and exporter of products for hair and beauty salons in Europe. It serves over 1,900 wholesalers and 200,000 customers.

Project

Due to Activeshop’s rapid growth, it became necessary to implement a modern, efficient, and scalable e-Commerce platform. The choice fell on Magento 2—meaning a migration from the previous version to a new one. The biggest challenge was logistics. The nature of Activeshop’s orders involves a wide variety of sizes, dimensions, and product weights. Without a system to optimize shipping, money was leaking out of the entire process.

The first goal of the project was to migrate the store to the latest version of Magento. The company had two separate stores running, so the decision was made to unify them on a single platform – using the multistore function.

The migration required building a complete integration from scratch with the VENDO.ERP system for managing customers and products. The implementation was designed so that the client rarely needs to log into the Magento admin panel – all data is managed directly from the ERP.

We designed a logistics module based on a custom algorithm that calculates shipping costs and classifies products by shipping method (pallets, boxes). The system also accounts for items that require special handling or separate transport (e.g., glass elements). Interestingly, the module has no calculation limits – it can compute shipping costs for thousands of items.

We implemented an advanced pricing model tailored to Activeshop’s B2B pricing strategy. Customers are first divided into groups, each with its own discount rates. Additionally, individual customers can have personalized prices for specific products. At the same time, customer groups may have group-wide discounts on those same products. Individual pricing has the highest priority but is always compared with group discounts – whichever is more favorable is shown to the customer.

Activeshop makes full use of Magento’s flexibility and scalability by continuously expanding its business functionalities, including export sales and return handling mechanisms.

Tangible outcomes

A well-oiled sales machine

  • Significant savings

    The logistics module brought Activeshop substantial savings, which translated into more competitive pricing in the store. It also benefits the end customer, who always sees a precisely calculated shipping method and cost.

  • Zero tech debt

    The new e-Commerce version is free of technical debt and smartly integrated with the ERP system, ensuring long-term sustainability.

  • Expectations met

    The implemented platform meets all the needs of a specific B2B target group — while still providing a smooth and pleasant shopping experience.

  • Gateway to the world

    The multistore functionality and support for multiple languages pave the way for Activeshop’s international expansion.
