Relaunch of their website based on the Sitecore® Experience Platform
With the go-live of the new website in May 2017, together with a partner of fischerwerke Smart Commerce SE was able to successfully execute its first project with fischerwerke GmbH & Co. KG based on the Sitecore Experience Platform. The objective of fischer's web relaunch project was to significantly improve the findability of approx. 5000 fischer products per country. This best possible findability of the products was the central project goal of the relaunch.
Since August 2016, Smart Commerce, an expert in the area of online commerce and content management, has supported the website relaunch both with the data supply from the PIM system, as well as with the product and dealer search on the basis of the FACT-Finder search. In addition, Smart Commerce has supported the project management and has been a reliable partner for the project team in all situations.

First Sitecore® – FACT-Finder Integration
With the successful website relaunch project, Smart Commerce implemented a Sitecore to FACT-Finder integration, the first time at all. The aim of the project was to create a comprehensive search backend to which initially only the website is connected, but in the future several different touchpoints will be connected.
In addition to setting up the development environment and setting the architecture for the search backend, Smart Commerce also integrated the product data management. The data was retrieved from the PIM system via a REST API and validated and transformed as needed. After that the category product data structure was prepared in order to import the data for FACT-Finder. The import was done automatically via the Jenkins tool.
As part of the project, Smart Commerce installed and implemented in addition the FACT-Finder software and configured and optimized it product search. For this purpose, a special REST interface has been developed, with which it is now possible to request the product data in the existing website and thus to use the optimized FACT Finder search.
"Smart Commerce SE is our strategic partner in eCommerce. She supported us and our integrator competently and reliably in the introduction of Sitecore. In addition, it successfully implemented the introduction and integration of the central FACT-Finder® search server, the product and dealer search and data delivery from our PIM system. We will continue to implement joint projects."
