A business back office for auto body certification

How DATASOLUTION provided a heavy-duty truck body repair certification provider with a case management tool tailored to its business—delivered three times faster than comparable solutions.

The context: a regulated profession with no room for half-measures

Our client certifies bodywork installations on heavy-duty vehicles: a regulated industry where each case must be tracked, organized, and documented with precision. Its teams needed a single tool to enter case files and manage a complex product database , and issue regulatory labels and certificates — without having to start from scratch.

A complex project with three challenges to overcome.

Challenge #1

Modeling Complex Product Data

Every approved vehicle has dozens of standardized specifications—approvals, dimensions, engines, fuel tanks. Using Vendure’s product and variant model, we’ve translated this business complexity into clear, editable data sheets without the need for extensive development.

Challenge #2

Guiding the Data Entry Process for a Case

Putting together a certification application involves many interdependent steps. We’ve repurposed Vendure’s order drafts to create a guided, step-by-step process that shows in real time what has been completed and what still needs to be done.

Challenge #3

Edit Regulatory Labels

Manufacturer’s label, tare weight plate, COC certificates… each file generates a stack of official documents. Thanks tothe React ecosystem, we’ve integrated a generation and printing module that produces these documents on demand, in the correct formats.

The solution?

An Expanded Vendure Dashboard

Vendure is an open-source e-commerce platform whose back office is designed to be extensible. Rather than developing an administrative interface from scratch, we built upon this extensible dashboard and adapted it to the terminology and rules of the industry: manufacturers, approvals, assembly centers, and certification files.

The result: a tool that speaks the teams’ language, built on a proven foundation.
