Customer-centric solutions and innovative technologies:
The partnership places a strong emphasis on customer-centric solutions. Both SmartStore AG and Lighthouse IVM GmbH work closely together to develop customised solutions that meet the specific requirements of their customers. Both companies bring a wealth of experience from success stories in various industries.
The convergence of SmartStore's innovative e-commerce technology and Lighthouse IVM GmbH's advanced ERP/PIM and warehouse management technology, developed over more than 45 years, results in a unique combination of state-of-the-art solutions. This gives customers access to innovative technologies that will take their business processes to the next level, enabling companies to differentiate themselves from the competition and offer their customers a modern and efficient shopping experience.
Efficient warehouse management:
Efficient PC-controlled order and warehouse management is crucial for the smooth operation of an e-commerce business. By integrating SmartStore's state-of-the-art e-commerce platform with Lighthouse IVM's intelligent ERP/PIM warehouse management technology, customers benefit from optimised and automated warehouse processes. This leads to a sustainable reduction in labour and warehousing costs and a permanent increase in overall efficiency.
Real-time data integration:
The seamless connection between SmartStore's e-commerce platform and Lighthouse IVM's solutions enables real-time data integration. This integration enables the instantaneous transfer of complex data between the online shop and the ERP/PIM system and warehouse, resulting in improved inventory management and more efficient order processing. Customers can be confident that their orders will be processed and delivered very quickly. In addition, over 95% of item data maintenance is controlled by the ERP/PIM system, making item maintenance much faster and easier, thus facilitating the transition to a Smartstore shop.
