How we Helped
- Enterprise64 implemented a Magento-based B2B e-commerce platform integrated with SAP, featuring robust payment gateways, real-time inventory management, and reporting tools.

Project Overview
Richardson Sports, a leader in the sporting goods industry, sought to overhaul their B2B e-commerce operations. The project encompassed an end-to-end implementation of a B2B platform on Magento, integrating robust B2B payment gateways, inventory management, SAP for back-end processes, custom price lists, and product configurations. Additional features included dealer management, bulk ordering, and custom report generation.
Challenge
Richardson Sports faced significant operational challenges in their B2B processes due to an outdated system that struggled to adapt to the fast-paced sporting goods market. The complex needs for product customization required a sophisticated configuration to efficiently manage custom orders. Moreover, the reliance on prior systems led to data silos, resulting in inefficiencies in inventory and order management. Additionally, there was a lack of customized reporting capabilities to adequately analyze business performance, which hindered their ability to make informed strategic decisions.
The Solution
Magento B2B Implementation
The team deployed a scalable and user-friendly B2B e-commerce platform using Magento’s powerful e-commerce capabilities. This facilitated the creation of a comprehensive online store tailored to the sporting goods market. The implementation resulted in a streamlined online ordering process and an enhanced user experience for B2B customers.
B2B Payments and Inventory Management
The team integrated seamless payment solutions and real-time inventory management by implementing B2B payment gateways and linking Magento to existing inventory systems for live tracking. This resulted in a reliable payment system and current inventory data, ensuring accurate order fulfillment.
BSAP Integration and Custom Price Lists
The project synchronized e-commerce operations with SAP to provide unified back-end management and developed a system for creating and managing custom price lists for various dealers. This led to smooth operations and tailored pricing strategies, enhancing dealer relationships and boosting sales.
Product Configurators and Dealer Management
The team developed advanced product configurations for custom orders and implemented a dealer management system within Magento. This facilitated detailed product customization and streamlined dealer interactions and order processing.
Bulk Ordering and Custom Reports
The project integrated bulk ordering capabilities and designed a custom reporting feature to offer analytics on sales, inventory, and customer behavior. This enabled efficient large-scale order processing and provided data-driven insights for strategic decision-making.
Results
The Magento platform enhanced B2B engagement by providing a seamless and engaging experience for clients, leading to increased customer satisfaction and repeat business. Streamlined operations from SAP integration and improved inventory management resulted in smoother processes, reduced errors, and faster turnaround times. Customized solutions, such as product configurations and custom price lists, allowed Richardson Sports to better meet the specific needs of their B2B clients. Furthermore, the custom reports generated by the new system offered valuable insights, helping in informed decision-making and driving business growth.
