TCSGEU B2B Documentation

Project Overview

This B2B project’s goal is to provide a convenient and easy to use portal for the registered Carlstar partners to

  • search for products
  • check inventory and prices
  • submit order request to the Sales Team

Technical base

To be consistent with the majority of the The Carlstar Group websites, WordPress was chosen as the basis for the B2B site. The final product is a combination of the WordPress core, the WooCommerce and B2BKing plugins and the custom plugins developed by BolkoDesign to address the specific needs of this B2B project.

Data sharing

The B2B related data - inventories, prices, customers and their shipping addresses - is synced from Carlstar’s Navision ERP.

For this the B2B site and the ERP is connected via REST API. In this project both the ERP and the B2B site has a B2B specific API:

  • The WordPress side provides an API for managing users (customers).
  • The ERP’s API provides an interface for the B2B site to retrieve:
    • the categories and B2B product catalogue
    • the inventories and customer specific prices during the product search / order process
    • customer shipping addresses

Visual Design

As on other sites of The Carlstar Group the approved visual design is translated to WordPress with the Elementor Pro website builder and selected Crocoblock plugins that extends Elementor’s features.
