Global leader in technical textiles

A Strategic Project

With a presence in more than 120 countries, including 7 in Europe, Dickson Constant has decided to launch a B2B e-commerce site for its resellers and distributors, with the following objectives:

  • 24/7 online order placement for small and medium-sized customers
  • Order tracking for major customers, whose orders are processed by the DICKSON sales department or via EDI exchanges
  • Real-time inventory tracking for international customers
  • Acquiring New Customers

A platform tailored to the specific needs of the industry

Dickson Constant selected Adobe Commerce / Magento and DATASOLUTION to deploy this digital platform.

With a very broad customer base and diverse profiles—each requiring a specific approach to ensure that every customer feels recognized and valued throughout their digital user experience—we made this project 100% customer-centric.

The main challenge we faced was developing a PIM tool in parallel with the e-commerce project, which required continuous adjustments to workflows throughout the project’s development phase.

Following the deployment, which was carried out using the Agile methodology, Dickson Constant now has a high-performance tool that is shared and integrated across all departments:

  • A fully responsive B2B e-commerce site with 5,500 active customers
  • A single back office for the seven countries in Europe
  • Customer- and product-specific prices (6 million prices)
  • Delivery and payment methods tailored to each customer

Following the launch of the B2B website, a decision was made to complement this platform with a redesign of the corporate corporate website, based on the CMS of the Adobe Commerce / Magento platform.
