challenge

To develop a scalable and flexible e-commerce platform to automate Bakker Leo's order processing.

progress

Process the products, content and orders from different niche shops efficiently in a single central management environment.

impact

The ability to process large volumes of orders per day in a quick, controlled and automated manner.

challenge

Bakker Leo started with a standard webshop solution for low profile exploration of the online niche market for gluten-free bread. Online sales rose with unexpected speed, causing Bakker Leo to run into the limitations of a standard webshop solution. The manageable and quick processing of a large number of orders and preparation of a high volume of packages for dispatch became a time-consuming task.

SST Software took on the challenge of redeveloping the standard webshop solution into a scalable, flexible and customised e-commerce platform. The platform would automate operational processes and the webshop to further maximise the exponential online growth.

progress

The new e-commerce platform we developed is reliable, scalable and allows Bakker Leo to upscale to explore new niche markets. Everything can be controlled from a central management environment that enables efficient, automated processing of products, content and orders from different niche shops.

Bakker Leo needs to be able to provide customisation to be able to respond to the specific] requirements for entering new niche markets. We designed advanced architecture to make this possible. During the development of the e-commerce platform, we developed a special cake configurator and set up links to both shipping providers and payment providers. This makes it possible for Bakker Leo to upscale and roll out the platform internationally.

impact

By automating order processing and shipment, various labour-intensive steps are bypassed. Bakker Leo now has the ability to process and dispatch large volumes of orders per day in a manageable, quick and automated way.

In addition, clients have the freedom to order at whatever time is convenient to them. Clients can easily design, order and arrange delivery of the bread and/or cake products to the desired location and at the desired time themselves, without compromising on the freshness of the products. This saves Bakker Leo time on order processing and automates the payment process.
