Challenges
Agilix Solutions was formed through the merger of French Gerleman and IAC Supply Solutions, bringing together multiple companies, websites, product catalogs, and digital processes. The organization needed to consolidate these assets while minimizing disruption for existing customers.
Agilix also needed a flexible, scalable digital architecture to support new products, complex integrations, improved customer experiences, and growing operational needs. Reliable synchronization with suppliers, inventory systems, payment providers, shipping services, and other business platforms was critical.
The new web solutions also had to support the account-specific requirements of Agilix’s B2B customers. Product availability often differs by region or branch, pricing depends on individual customer agreements, and some products require geographic or account-based restrictions. Customers needed faster ways to find products, place large orders, and manage detailed account information.
Solution
ROC Commerce was selected as the platform foundation to power the new ecommerce environment for Agilix. The platform excels in the delivery of personalized content, customer alerts, quick-order tools, account-specific pricing, online quoting, and other advanced B2B features.
Integration between ROC Commerce and Infor, the ERP used by Agilix, was critical to the project’s success. The development team enabled secure, comprehensive synchronization of customer, product, pricing, inventory, and transaction data, including customer teams, ship-to locations, account-specific pricing, inventory availability, customer part numbers, order and quote history, tax calculation, and order creation.
Automating these data exchanges keeps the storefront aligned with core business systems and reduces the need for Agilix employees to reenter or manually reconcile information.
The storefront also integrates with a broader digital ecosystem for payments, shipping, procurement, loyalty programs, supplier data, search, and product configuration.
Advanced site search uses Hawksearch to connect the website and online store, giving users a unified way to find relevant content and products. To improve product detail and discovery, the team integrated data from the Affiliated Distributors eCatalog and IDEA product feeds, enriching the online catalog with the information and digital assets customers need to evaluate complex industrial products.
Agilix’s modernized digital solution unifies the company’s brand, corporate content, product catalog, and ecommerce capabilities while supporting the complex operational needs of industrial distribution. ROC Commerce provided Agilix with the flexible digital commerce environment built to grow with customers, services, product offerings, and long-term business success.
