OANDER Development

In 2020 we have launched the new corporate website for ARH Inc.(Adaptive Recognition Hungary), a leading global technology company focusing on hardware and software development for the license plate recognition, identity verification, industrial code recognition, ITS and CCTV security industries. Their products can be found in a wide range of environments, such as border control, police, hotels, parking houses, banks, public areas, highways and more. The goal of the project was to completely reengineer the B2C and B2B online communication channels of the company with research-based UX design and smart integrations under the hood. The new website was designed and developed by OANDER.

Repjegy.hu is a leading flight ticket booking website in the CEE region with more than 13 years presence in the market. The website shows flight options form more than 500 airlines in one place and helps several thousands of users with their travel plans every month. OANDER was responsible for the website’s complete rebranding, UX & UI design with extensive research and analytics in every step of the agile development project. We also helped the project with the frontend development duties during the website’s technical realization

The name iSTYLE probably doesn’t need any introduction as it’s the most prominent Apple Premium Reseller in Central Europe and in the Middle East. Besides its 50+ stores and its active web presence (online store, microsites, iMagazine) it’s known for its product-based educational and B2B services in Hungary. ISTYLE gained recognition as a distributor of Apple products, but other well-known brands are included in its portfolio, meaning that it has a whole ecosystem of Apple-compatible devices in its offering.

iSTYLE is one of the longest-standing ecommerce clients of OANDER, we’ve been working together collaboratively since 2014. Currently they are present in 12 countries and they are constantly expanding, meaning that iSTYLE has become one of the biggest Magento-based webshops in Central Europe. Delivering for the needs of certain markets is achieved through a single Magento installation, a webshop with a complex set of functionalities and external integrations.

Those who are familiar with iSTYLE know that besides its online presence, the company is very strong offline as well. When working with such clients synchronising the two in a multichannel way is crucial. While transitioning to Magento 2 the webshop had to be prepared for managing several stocks all at once, simultaneously, for aggregating and recalculating constantly changing stock data and for building business logics based on stock availability. The interoperable connections between online and offline retail are supported by a number of modules (journeys for example can start from either side and they can end both online or offline). The objective of this is that business practices support each other.

Thanks to thinking and planning collaboratively and to our dedicated team, a day-to-day relationship has been established between the client and OANDER.

In March 2019 one of the biggest e-commerce sites in the region has been launched. This was the updated version of drugstore chain Rossmann’s webshop. The new site remained on a Magento platform but new functionalities were added and a refreshed user experience has been created. The design planning of the new webshop was done by fps ecosystem, while the frontend and backend developments were carried out by our team.

In 2019 one of the most beautiful buildings in the City Park of Budapest, the former Olof Palme House has been renovated and became House of the Hungarian Millennium with permanent exhibitions and and cultural events in its offerings. Our team was tasked with the design and development of ticket selling and event organizing platform for the newly reopened cultural venue. We developed the website using our Event Manager solution, based on Magento eCommerce engine with several smart extensions and integrations in its architecture.

A new Magento 2 webshop of premium skincare and beauty products, ProBeauty was launched in December 2019. The webshop offers a wide range of beauty products from brands like Schwarzkopf, L’Oréal, Kérastase and Wella. The webshop was created by OANDER's eCommerce team using a lot of custom developed Magento 2 extensions. We were offering support for the launch and when designing the user experience, we used OANDER Hodor as a base template. During the development we also integrated the webshop with the owner’s PIM system.

The name iSTYLE probably doesn’t need any introduction as it’s the most prominent Apple Premium Reseller in Central Europe and in the Middle East with 50+ stores and active web presence.

After iSTYLE Central Europe's succesful Magento 2 implementation, we had the opportunity to upgrade the Magento 1.9 installation in the Middle East region too. Transitioning to Magento 2 meant the updating of functions and business processes used in Magento 1 too. These demands were not lost during the process, so they became part of the MVP stage, during which dozens of complex and unique extensions were developed. Today, the webshop features 120 Magento extensions, some used as generic functions, some catering for local needs and business practices.

The integrational processes behind the webshop are carried out by our middleware product, the iPaaS called OANDER Connect. The task of this middleware is to manage and make stock movements easily expandable and to synchronise orders, products, prices and customer details. With its help software (such as the webshop, ERP, CRM, etc) are not directly connected to each other, they are linked to a central hub instead – significantly reducing the load on them.

The project did not end after the MVP, it is still ongoing with the regular introduction of new features and upgrades, like new payment and shipping methods, UX and UI improvements, etc.
