Design Bestseller

Extension of the individual shipping logic: The customized shipping logic has been further developed to also represent freight forwarding packages. This allowed us to ensure flexibility and meet the precise implementation of individual shipping requirements.

Direct loans in the checkout-process: By integrating ndgit, seamless borrowing is possible directly in the ordering process. We were able to optimize the user experience again.

Integration of Amazon Pay & Paypal Express: Two fast and convenient payment options, which we have connected to further optimize the checkout process and increase user friendliness.

USM and String configurator: With the help of Roomle, the configurators of the brands USM Haller and String Furniture were integrated, which allow an individual and interactive product design directly in the shop.

Automated sales channels: The feature ensures that each order is automatically assigned a suitable sales channel. Thus, the basis for targeted communication and tailored content was strengthened.

Flexible presentation of top brands and designers in the menu: We have adapted the menu structure to present selected brands and designers prominently. The configuration takes place quickly and flexibly in the backend of the shop.

Migration from Magento 1 to Magento 2 with Hyvä: By switching to Magento 2 and Hyvä, DBS is one of the first projects to use the modern frontend of Hyvä Themes. The migration has laid the foundation for a modern, high-performance and future-proof shop architecture.

Change of merchandise management: By switching to an in-house development created by us with a connection to Magento, the special requirements of Design Bestseller can be met.

New product pages: The product pages have been implemented with a new design as a Vue app.

Warehouse management for shop-in-shop at Galeries Lafayette: Since 2019, the design bestseller can also be found in Paris in the famous Galeries Lafayette department store with its own space. For optimal process flows, we have written a system that enables warehouse management and orders via a central location.

Internationalization of the shop: We have done the setup for the Benelux stores, so that since the beginning of 2018, Design Bestseller has been represented in Belgium, the Netherlands and France with its own domain in addition to Germany. In addition, Design Bestseller ships to almost all European countries.

Integration of the Miles & More loyalty points programme: The development was initially done by another Magento agency, we took over the further course up to the launch.

Connection of Actindo to Magento: We have taken over the connection to the merchandise management system Actindo, as we know both Magento and the special requirements of Design Bestseller well.

Procurement tool "Dieter": Design Bestseller did not have its own solution for coordinating orders from suppliers, which is why we programmed "Dieter". This makes it possible to bind an order between a customer's order and a manufacturer's delivery.

Integration of an augmented reality view of the products: Through a cooperation with Roomle, Design Bestseller was able to offer individually configurable furniture for customers. We have developed a 3D configurator that allows customers to view the self-assembled product in 3D and design it according to their preferences. This was followed by other 3D configurators.

Installing Solr: IntegerNet_Solr is our self-developed module to improve the search function. Design Bestseller was decisive for the development of the module, as the functions of the standard search solutions did not meet the requirements. Thus, Design Bestseller was the first shop in which we implemented our Solr module.

Connection to Amazon: We evaluated the solutions available on the market for Design Bestseller based on the requirements and implemented the m2epro module. It allows the processing of orders placed through Amazon and the automated transfer of product data from Magento to the Amazon sales channel – all while keeping Amazon's strict policies in mind.

Redesign of the existing Magento shop: Already at the end of 2013 we started work on building the shop from scratch on the basis of Magento 1 with a new design by pooliestudios.

New Multipage Checkout: In early 2014 we implemented this extensive module. The standard solution from Magento did not meet the needed requirements for Design Bestseller. These included, among other things, delivery and billing address on one page, the possibility of redeeming multiple vouchers at the end of the order and a chronological order of the individual sections from left to right.

Development of a Responsive Slider: In order to perform well on all devices, we have developed a responsive template for Design Bestseller, which adapts the display of the functions to the screen size. This makes the shop easy to use on desktops and mobile devices.

Takeover of the existing Magento 1 shop: Design Bestseller has been our customer since 2012. Our first tasks consisted of maintaining the shop and generally optimizing the performance.
