SPORT 2000

Implementation

• Implemented with minimal resources: The project was carried out by just one product owner on the client's side. For Platoyo, only a project manager and an additional data manager were involved, who configured the connection of the individual inventory management systems and the product data API.

• Launched in just four months: The project was completed within four months. The multi-shop platform was ready for boarding and branding within three days.

• The product was named avendu for internal and external communication.

• High interest: The project was presented to the sellers and partners at in-house trade shows. There was a great deal of interest.

• Inventory management systems: The ERP systems primarily included IPOS, BITS, HIS, ETOS, Advarics, and Globalsys. The product data was sourced from the existing data pools of schuhe.de and sport2000.de via API.

• Individual presence: The chain stores among the SPORT2000 partners received an online shop that also displays the locations, inventories, and prices of the various branches.

• All-in-one service: The client wanted not just Software as a Service (SaaS) but even Business as a Service (BaaS): Platoyo also takes care of the legal operation of the platform, ensuring data protection, accounting, and support for the sellers.

• Lean organization: This ensures that the retail cooperative is not burdened with new overhead issues.

• Focus on the essentials: The retail cooperative can fully concentrate on internal marketing towards its partners and members.

• Direct transaction processing: Although a central platform provides the online shops, the purchase contract is made directly between the seller and the customer.

• Payment: The payment options are configured centrally and uniformly for all sellers. The clearing, meaning all settlements and money transfers, is carried out autonomously and automatically by the system.

• Strong support: Members can dial into daily online office hours with the support team or schedule individual appointments.

• Orders are processed through the in-house order management system, Qualibet.

• Social media integration: Sellers who are also active on Facebook or Instagram can now directly import their products via their own product feed. The platform automatically provides the necessary links. Training videos from the support team demonstrate how to set up the integration.
