Background
β
βSanpol is a prominent B2B and B2C eCommerce company specializing in bathroom and plumbing supplies, with a catalog of over 100,000 SKUs and more than 1,000 B2B clients. Originally they ran three separate Magento sites, B2C, B2B, and their own brand, Scalar, with the goal of merging them into one comprehensive platform serving both audiences.
β
Collaboration
β
βOur partnership with Sanpol has spanned seven years and counting. As their existing B2B system grew outdated and inefficient, they needed to modernize their sales processes, integrate cleanly with internal systems, and deliver a better user experience. That led to migrating to Magento, and later Adobe Commerce, a complex undertaking driven by deep integrations with SAP (for intricate client hierarchies and pricing rules) and a Product Information Management (PIM) system.
β
Objectives
β
- Efficient migration to Magento and then Adobe Commerce, leveraging the full capabilities of both.
- SAP & PIM integration for complex client hierarchies, business rules, and accurate product data.
- Performance optimization: a faster, more reliable site despite the vast catalog and complex pricing.
- Improved UX: customizable homepage elements per customer group, loyalty programs, and complex price calculations by product, promotion, customer group, and individual client.
- Streamlined operations by unifying Magento, SAP, PIM, and Mautic (marketing automation) into one cohesive ecosystem.
β
Challenges
β
βThe project brought extensive integrations, dynamic and evolving requirements, and the incorporation of external systems like SAP and PIM, all while keeping a live, high-volume platform running without interruption.
