EXPRESSO Deutschland GmbH & Co. KG
The Future of E-Commerce with BigCommerce. The project began with a high-performing store built on the Pimcore e-commerce framework. During the redesign of the company’s presentation and the necessary updates for the online store, including a Pimcore upgrade, EXPRESSO and Blackbit considered whether a new technical framework would provide more value for a similar investment. They aimed to retain the unique features of the existing store, such as efficient product information management, useful filtering options, a comprehensive product configurator, and the ability to personalize promotional signs for hand trucks during the ordering process. All technical modifications needed to be easily transferable to the French and Austrian versions of the webshop. To minimize operational expenses, EXPRESSO opted for a software-as-a-service solution that charges a flat monthly fee covering licenses, hosting, and updates. Three cloud store systems with modern software architecture were shortlisted: Shopify, BigCommerce, and Shopware 6. Pimcore serves as the backbone for product information management, and when paired with BigCommerce as the e-commerce frontend, it provides a superior solution in terms of security, performance, and flexibility. Thanks to past collaboration and effective communication, the transition from a framework-based custom solution to a software-as-a-service application was successfully executed. Through collaborative project management, questions were resolved, tasks were frequently reprioritized to stay within budget, and there was a shared understanding of both new technology and essential customer requirements.
