In January 2019, Pro à Pro launched its e-commerce website and sought a partner capable of supporting them in its ongoing operation. The objectives included technical maintenance, improvements to the existing platform, and the development of new features. A call for tenders was launched to identify the right partner.
The main objectives were:
The Pro à Pro project was structured around several key areas, including taking over the existing platform, integrating a custom content management tool, and adding new features.
First, the infrastructure was modernized through the integration of GitLab for change tracking and deployment automation, as well as the use of Docker to ensure environment reproducibility.
Numerous improvements were implemented, including UX/UI enhancements, optimization of existing services, and the development of new functionalities. A customer portal was added, allowing users to access all their invoices and configure automated delivery settings. In addition, a tailor-made solution was developed to enable Pro à Pro to easily manage editorial content, such as articles and recipes, available to prospects and customers.
The project is built on a robust technical environment. Elasticsearch is used for search capabilities, while Pro à Pro’s ERP system (AS400) manages data exchanges. Synchronization between the website and the ERP is handled through two types of data flows: generated flat files deposited on the server, and REST web services exposed by the ERP and queried by the website server.
