Overview

Boss Pet Products and its PetEdge division is a leading distributor of wholesale professional pet grooming equipment and supplies. They are the largest supplier to pet-care professionals and independent retailers offering over 12,000 national brand and exclusive PetEdge branded products.

The PetEdge site at http://www.petedge.com provides products for the pet professional including pet groomers, veterinarians, pet trainers, breeders, government agencies, colleges, and other pet professionals. The Boss PetEdge Dealer Services site at http://www.bosspetedge.com is exclusively for retailers purchasing pet products at wholesale for reselling to their retail customers.

Prior to moving their eCommerce solution to Magento Commerce, Boss Pet Products operated their eCommerce sites with the SAP Web Channel Experience Management (WCEM) and CRM solutions (SAP CRM). The goal was to replace this eCommerce and CRM solution with the following objectives:

  • Enhanced user experience for pet professionals and wholesale buyers to better navigate, search, and order through Boss PetEdge Products very large online product catalog.
  • Improved mobile shopping experience by utilizing modern responsive web design and implementation.
  • Enhanced tools for the website’s content management and product catalog management to support marketing and merchandising teams.
  • Full integration with SAP ECC back-end systems for real-time inventory, pricing, promotion, ordering, and fulfillment using webservice APIs.
  • Custom CRM solution integrated in with the website order management interfaces for effective and easy management by CSRs.

Evolving our eCommerce business onto Magento’s state of the art platform is paramount to delivering on the needs and expectations of our customers. Completing this major project without incurring any downtime was a tremendous success and Kadro lead us expertly every step of the way.
