Project Summary

BelVG overhauled and redeveloped a Magento site for Georgia Gun Store, reprogramming problematic sections and building custom extensions and inventory-update protocols. They implemented automated inventory and pricing updates, dealer-locator functionality to satisfy firearms shipping rules, customized invoices, layaway and price-request modules. The client reports improved site functionality, rising sales (about $1M in annual online sales) and positive customer feedback; the engagement began in Dec. 2016 and is ongoing.

Key Challenges

  • Existing Magento site was full of errors and lacked required features
  • Synchronize inventory and pricing with a distributor FTP that updates every half hour
  • Implement dealer-delivery logic to comply with firearms shipping rules and provide a dealer locator

Project Deliverables

  • Inventory synchronization protocols and automation
  • Custom Magento modules and extensions
  • Dealer locator CSV integration
  • Inventory alerts for customers
  • Customized invoices and a layaway extension
  • Price request feature for quotes and purchase links

Project Solution

BelVG audited and reprogrammed large portions of a Magento site, removing and rebuilding faulty sections. They implemented an inventory synchronization system that ingests distributor FTP files (half-hour quantity updates, daily pricing updates, weekly product imports), added inventory alerts, a dealer locator CSV integration to meet firearms-shipping rules, and built custom modules including invoices, a layaway extension, and a price-request feature. They also configured update protocols and other custom extensions to stabilize site functionality.

Project Outcome

  • Improved site functionality and positive customer feedback
  • Increased online sales with the client reporting roughly $1 million in annual sales and potential growth
  • Dropship functionality and integrations enabling direct warehouse shipping and Amazon tie-ins
  • High responsiveness and reliable project management (communication via Skype; task tracking in Redmine)
