Digitalisation of sales and ordering processes with centralised data management and more efficient workflows
Development of an integrated platform based on Shopware 6 with ERP integration and field sales system
Centralised processes, improved transparency and a scalable foundation for digital sales
DIGITAL SALES PROCESSES IN THE DENTAL INDUSTRY
With the increasing digitalisation of B2B sales, the demands on centralised processes, connected systems and a consistent data basis are also rising. Especially when multiple sales channels are involved and inside and field sales work closely together, complex workflows emerge that need to be organised efficiently.
At Kaniedenta, sales, ordering and customer processes ran across different channels and systems, which meant that information was only partially available in a centralised way. Customer management, order histories and sales-relevant data had to be reconciled and maintained manually in some cases.
Additional administrative effort arose in particular from the interaction between the B2B shop, the field sales team and the ERP system.
STRATEGIC SYSTEM INTEGRATION & DIGITAL SALES PROCESSES
To digitise the sales processes, a central system solution based on Shopware 6 was developed that connects the B2B shop, field sales and ERP system. The goal was to consolidate existing processes in a structured way, make information centrally available and organise collaboration between inside and field sales more efficiently.
The result is not an isolated shop solution, but an integrated platform that maps sales-relevant processes across channels and consolidates them on a shared data basis.
The focus was on linking order processing, customer management and sales control. By directly connecting the shop, field sales system and ERP, information can now be managed centrally, processes organised more efficiently and different sales channels technically integrated.
The new system architecture streamlines day-to-day operations while creating a solid foundation for future digital sales processes.
The technical foundation of the platform was designed so that existing systems and processes can be connected flexibly.
The focus was on a stable and scalable system architecture that integrates current processes while allowing for future extensions with maximum flexibility.
The platform was developed on the basis of Shopware 6 and extended with custom features for B2B commerce and field sales processes.
In addition, external platforms such as AERA and Wawibox were integrated directly into the system architecture.
By connecting the shop, field sales system and ERP, information can be consolidated and managed across all channels.
Orders are routed through a shared system architecture, remaining transparent and traceable for all relevant areas.
The integration of different systems creates a shared data foundation for both inside and field sales.
Customer information, orders and sales-relevant data are available in a structured form and can be used efficiently in day-to-day operations.
In addition to the B2B shop, a custom field sales system was developed to support core sales and customer processes.
Sales representatives can manage customers across channels, record orders, and process open items, order details and sales-relevant processes directly within the system.
The field sales system extends the existing platform with features for structured sales and customer management.
This enables faster data capture, simplifies coordination and makes day-to-day sales processes more efficient.
The shop was developed specifically for the requirements of dental sales and digitally supports industry-specific B2B processes. These include, among others:
The system and page structure were designed to present relevant information and processes in a clear and accessible way.
This enables different user groups to be guided efficiently through ordering and administration workflows and to access relevant products and information in a structured manner.
SUSTAINABLE ADDED VALUE THROUGH CENTRAL PROCESSES
With the new platform, Kaniedenta has a central system foundation for digital sales, ordering and customer processes.
By connecting the B2B shop, field sales and ERP system, information can be managed across channels and workflows can be organised more efficiently.
The scalable system architecture simplifies day-to-day processes while providing a solid basis for future digital extensions.
