BKS Tradeline
BKS Tradeline Ltd is a UK-based wholesaler and distributor within the Smoking & Vaping industry. As an official distributor for a number of leading brands within this space the company relies upon its Magento ecommerce platform for B2B trade orders. Those orders need to accommodate wholesale pricing and volume discounts subject to product, quantity, and availability; all of which must be served by their complex Magento platform and related systems including the stock inventory and shipping management system: Veeqo
The development team at Comtecs undertook a major Magento ecommerce upgrade involving the customisation, configuration and wholesale development of the core Magento platform and multiple plugins/extensions including:
- Migration from 1.9 to 2.4.x with subsequent further ongoing upgrades as required
- Multi-store setup, configuration and customisation
- Customised Trade Account Application form development and approval process
- Trade Login to view prices based on user profile/account; 300+ pricing groups
- Algolia Search Engine integration with customised search template
- Highly customised bespoke “Add to Cart” functionality
- Product promotion carousel customisations including UI design
- Complex Sage (Finance) and Veeqo (Inventory Mgmt.) integrations
- Ongoing maintenance support and troubleshooting
This complex project resulted in a renewed trade platform for BKS Tradeline empowered to serve their significant client base of Vape Shops and Retailers across the UK. The company has continued its growth in the space whilst realising internal process efficiencies which have been of both commercial and operational benefit.
