Project Summary

Alva Commerce built a custom web ordering system for a 3D laser-etched crystal manufacturer that lets customers upload, edit and position photos before purchase. The Magento-based site includes a visual photo-editing uploader, payment integration and direct order submission to the production team. The solution became the company's main revenue generator, improved order tracking for production, and the client reports clean, scalable code and responsive technical support.

Key Challenges

  • Build a custom B2B order system to service retail partners
  • Create a seamless, visual photo-editing experience so customers can customize orders without written instructions
  • Integrate orders and payments with the internal production workflow

Project Deliverables

  • Web-based crystal ordering system
  • Visual photo upload and editing feature
  • Real-time payment (RTP) integration
  • Magento-based consumer website with customizations
  • Order submission integration to production

Project Solution

Alva Commerce developed a Magento-based consumer-facing website and a web ordering system for retailers. They implemented a visual photo upload and editing tool so customers could preview and adjust images, integrated real-time payment (RTP) to produce receipts, and built order-routing that submits orders directly to the production room. They also provided account-management support and performed server/site upgrades to handle traffic spikes.

Project Outcome

  • The site became the company's main revenue generator after pivoting to e-commerce.
  • The website experienced a surge in traffic and handled increased demand following COVID-19 closures.
  • Implemented SKU bundling that ties three photo uploads with three crystal types under a single SKU and routes correctly to production.
  • Rapid site and server upgrades improved capacity to meet incoming volume.
