AlphaTechnik

alpha Technik GmbH & Co. KG


Customer

Alpha Technik has been one of the leading online retailers for motorbikeaccessories, wear parts and services for 30 years. The company currently employs 50 people in Germany and offers over 100,000 listed items in its online store.

The alpha Technik Shopware shop is connected to the ERP AlphaPlan and a customised AlphaPlan Connector. This Shopware extension, which connects directly to the AlphaPlan database, synchronises all relevant data between the alpha Technik Shopware store and the ERP system.

The challenge

The challenge was to remodel and further develop the existing system, add new functional features and take it to the next technical level. The special focus was on merging the AlphaPlan pricing system with the Shopware system and automatically mapping all options on both systems.

In AlphaPlan, for example, you can define discounts per item, customer, customer group, discount group, category, etc., which should then also be displayed in the Shopware store. The prices in Shopware should also be displayed separately for B2B and B2C customers.

Solution


signundsinn has been supporting the customer alpha Technik and its Shopware 6 shop since the beginning of 2022 and took on the technically complex task of expanding the Shopware core so that all data from the ERP can be transferred and displayed accordingly. In addition, a structure was created to differentiate prices for B2B and B2C customers, whereby a highly complex construct of conditions regarding prices was created, which now also displays the negotiated price to each of alpha Technik's partners.
Other proactive development support in this project to date has included adding support for video and audio files per product, changing the Concardis payment method to PayPal and much more.
