E-commerce for taylormade furniture

[tausenx]

Hi everybody.

We're woodworkers from Italy. We mainly produce furniture for our local customers but lately we're helping other shop that are not equipped, selling them semifinished products or finished furniture ready to assemble. In this business-to-business we struggle with estimate. We were thinking about a dynamic online catalogue, in order to easily adjust prices in case of raw material price increase. How can we take advantage of this catalogue, extending this features to our final customers too? Then we started to consider an e-commerce site. Are there some products/services/add-ons, meeting our needs, without building it from scratch? 

- Selective access control with different discount ad terms of payment based on the typology of the customer (business to business of business to consumer)

- Database of raw material (panels, hinge, drawer slide, ...) 

- Shop pages where cabinet prices changes dynamically depending on measure inserted by the customer and which panels, hardware, ... is selected

- Shopping cart and checkout page

Thank you! Daniele

There's a Phoenix compatible App:  https://apps.oscommerce.com/VJEMI&wholesale-sppc-lite-phoenix&v=cephoenix10

This would require custom development.  There's a commercial inquiries forum here where you can ask for bids.

There were a couple assembly modules attempted but I don't know that any were really mature.  And I don't believe that they have been updated for Phoenix.  So this would also likely require custom development.

Phoenix has both of these.

hiinges and drawers can be added as options/attributes to be added to the product(cabinet)   

if there are pre set sizes that also can be worked out as option values. 12 inch free 24 inch +10  36 inch +20 like that.

if you want to charge per square meter you have to do some programing
