Struggling with a legacy system based on WooCommerce, and being increasingly dependant on third party systems to sync products from an in-house database, Absolute Antibody challenged us to completely reinvent the website and product sync.
Website
Sector
WooCommerce forms the foundation for this API integrated solution. We had to heavily customise WooCommerce to work with the unique product structure, making use of grouped products and variable products to form a three-tier product structure.
The new site includes:
- Responsive Web Design and Custom WordPress theme
- Elasticsearch integration indexing all product data for better search and faster load times
- Social media integration
- API bridge sync tool developed on Laravel connected to a Microsoft Access Database middleware solution
The new site, and API sync, is proving that WooCommerce can be used for complex, non standard products, and be connected to existing product inventories for easier data handling.
