ESSLAB customers could request specific combinations of elements via a form on their website, and ESSLAB would manually generate a quote for this using prices from supplier Inorganic Ventures. With our wealth of Shopify experience, we were sub-contracted to automate this process by connecting the form to the Inorganic Ventures API, automatically generate a quote and send this via email to the relevant customer using a custom Shopify app.


With our years of experience, SiteCenter were sub-contracted to integrate ESSLAB's Shopify store with their back office and point of sale systems via the "KC Smartlink" from Kamarin Computers. This involved meeting with the customer to understand their specific requirements before setting up and customising code. The result was the seamless transfer of orders from their ecommerce store into their back office systems and the automatic updating of ecommerce store inventory (with multiple inventory locations),order statuses and product data when offline data is updated. Since this store offers trade accounts, the project also involved the setup and data transfer of customer-specific prices.
As part of our work for ESSLAB, we were tasked with importing tens of thousands of products into their Shopify store. For each manufacturer of chemical products we had to interpret, manipulate and format their data and images into the correct format for import using offsite PHP scripts. The result was an ecommerce store full of product listings with detailed descriptions and tabulated data in an attractive layout.
