Online store for POS displays from THIMM

Online store for POS displays from THIMM

Configure POS displays individually and order directly online

The new online store was designed as an additional sales and presentation channel for THIMM Display's POS display range. THIMM Group is a pan-European corrugated board specialist and innovative system provider in the packaging management process.

As part of the group, THIMM Display specializes in the design, construction and production of individual point-of-sales display solutions (POS displays).

In close coordination with the client, eWorks was able to develop an overall online store concept based on OXID eShop Professional Editon 4. Based on the standard OXID eShop software, various modules were programmed for product configuration and the interactive creation of 3D previews. The order view was expanded to include all the necessary information for handling in POS display production. Thanks to the modular OXID eShop technology in the 4 version, not a single line of the OXID eShop core had to be touched, thus ensuring update capability and facilitating online store maintenance.

In contrast to existing online stores, the THIMM POS store shows interactive 3D views of the POS displays on offer. A special feature is the individual configurability of all display areas with your own images, photos and colors. The online store product configurator contains a wide range of setting options, such as the CMYK color model commonly used in the printing sector, and is still easy to use.

The following tasks were implemented by eWorks in detail
