Roberts Radio
The Challenge
On this project the client wanted a rich eCommerce website with multilingual support. Modern and engaging designs were designed by Thinking Juice who we would work alongside as the project progressed. In addition to the actual build of the eCommerce website we also had to think about how we would integrate with the client's backend ERP system, System 21.
Speed of delivery was a key requirement with this project and we managed to complete the entire build in less than two months!
Our Solution
As eCommerce was the key functionality offered by this website the decision was taken early on to develop using Drupal 7 as that would allow us to use the Commerce suite of contributed modules to do much of the heavy lifting for us.
Drupal Commerce
When it comes to eCommerce in Drupal the usual go to would be the Drupal Commerce project. This will do much of the heavy lifting for us allowing us to focus our efforts on extending functionality and basic configuration where required.
Product Comparison
As an eCommerce website it was really important on this project that we gave maximum control to the end user to allow them to find products that they might want to purchase. A key part of this was to create a product comparison tool which would allow users to select a number of different Roberts products for a side by side comparison.
From the product search page users can filter down their search criteria using a number of different facets and when they're ready they can select a number of different products to compare. When they are ready to compare the products they have selected the user is taken to a a page which renders the selected products side by side for easy comparison.
