Erreà, a historical Italian company specializing in the production of high-tech sportswear, has more than 2,000 points of sale in over 80 countries. It is the technical sponsor of numerous sport clubs, from amateur groups to the largest Italian and international teams, across various disciplines such as soccer, volleyball, basketball, rugby, and many others.
The company produces 4 million items and sells over 5.7 million pieces per year.
Erreà needed to manage all its current sites – Erreà, Erreà Republic, 3D Wear Active Tense, and Goalkeepers Academy – from a single portal, channeling all visits of these secondary portals onto a single platform. Each site had to have fully customizable elements – without having to modify the page code – in order to ensure complete independence in changing content, such as images, banners, text, video, and so forth. The new company goals included not only selling through the e-commerce, but also communicating and establishing the Brand, in order to improve users’ overall shopping experience.
To implement the www.errea.com website and B2C management, we developed a new multi-site and multi-market platform based on integrating Magento and TYPO3 6.3. This allowed us to build an e-commerce site with a strong editorial ability to promote the brand and effectively support web marketing activities.
We created a multi-site, multi-lingual (Italian, English, French, German, and Spanish) and multi-currency integrated platform to ensure worldwide sales. The layout has stylistic features according to each target market.
We designed a new structured navigation menu that is divided into Men, Women, Children, and Sports, and a complete and structured product catalog, enriched with a wide range of attributes and filters, which help the user to perform a quick and targeted site search to find the desired product.
We integrated with Microsoft Dynamics NAV to have greater control over financial and accounting management, as well as to simplify managing the supply chain, production, and operations.
There is an area for discounted products where users can take advantage of special offers. Outlet products selection is managed by the combination of Magento categories and promotion rules. In the meantime, the inventory is synchronized via webservice for a real time check of the product stock.
We activated specific actions to preserve the SEO positioning on the search engines during and after the platform migration.
Integration of the content from the company's major social channels (Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook), in order to consolidate the relationship between the brand and online consumers, reinforcing their purchasing decisions.
We developed an innovative multi-platform website that is optimized for desktop and mobile devices.
Thanks to Webformat's assistance we were able to implement a competitive e-store aligned with the international profile of our company, that offers a flexible and intuitive buying experience on all types of devices.
