The new ecommerce web design was expected to streamline inventory management, order processing, shipping, package tracking, automated email alerts as well as advanced reporting and forecasting capabilities.
The Solution
Pulse Engineers built a custom ecommerce web design solution to match the client requirements, all of the components were a perfect match with the requirements, the standard system was already certified by Hacker Safe (Control Scan), capable of managing millions of products with millions of orders, and the trick was to get the system to work exactly how the client needed it.
Sport fanatic has very specific needs in terms of sales processing, inventory control and reporting, although the standard ecommerce web site design components fulfill the general requirements they did not match the custom ecommerce processes that Sport Fanatic required. Almost 50% of the standard ecommerce web design components were rewritten to match the client needs.

All the existing data was seamlessly imported into the new system, most importantly the existing website users could easily relate to the new website, the brand loyalty was retained.
The Result
