platform is available. For more details please visit http://bigfish.solveda.com, the
"Demo" section will provide a good overview of both an eCommerce implementation and
the BigFish Admin Module.
Points of interest for this release:
Performance / Scalability:
- we have continued to fine-tune the number of SQL's made
via OFBiz services
- and now completely use OFBiz caching
- a great example is www.goldmedalhair.com, this has a
good amount of products and is very efficient
More OFBiz features in BF Admin Module
- the ability to add new customers
- the ability to add new orders (we use a shopping / cart / checkout paradigm)
Payments
- Cash on Delivery
- Sagepay with tokenization (credit card is not stored
in OFBiz, the returned unique "token" is stored as the
reference)
And various fixes and minor enhancements
We continue to be busy with client implementations and so far both of
our more recent clients are looking to upgrade to the latest version
(this includes www.1800fishoil.com and www.eagansemporium.com). New client
implementations will be announced over the coming months -- of particular
interest is a couple of solutions for Indian retailers (
currency in Rupees, different address formats etc.).
On our immediate delivery schedule are two major items, now beyond the
research stage, well into proof-of-concept and will be in full development very shortly:
Extended Sites
- The ability to have a new Product Store and a completely
re-purposed "extended site" capability
- All content can be segregated to a specific store
- Products can be repurposed, or separated into their own catalog
- Leveraging a lot of the great work done in OOTB OFBiz
Entity Sync (staging -> production)
- The ability to have a "staging" implementation that
"synchronizes" to Production whenever is appropriate
- So, our clients can prepare new content, promotions, home page
imagery, products, pricing throughout a certain amount of time
- and then "synchronize" everything into Production at one time
Items that may be of interest on our Road Map:
- Integration with eBay, Google Shopping and Snapdeal
- Spell checker, with "did you mean" functionality
- EBS Payment Gateway, for Indian market
Solveda Welcomes Eagan's Emporium
17-Dec-2012: Mineola. Solveda is proud to announce
the release of another client into the BigFish platform.
EAGAN'S EMPORIUM was an already established eCommerce store specializing
in ultra high-end accessories with a catalog of indulgent items catered for
a clientele with disposable income.
The extravagant product line was given center stage with large,
high-quality images within a simplified page layout in order to focus on
every inordinate detail. Embracing the most modern design practices,
EAGAN'S EMPORIUM combines a contemporary yet elegant interface with the incredible
functionality of the ofBiz framework.
EAGAN'S EMPORIUM originally lacked the appearance and bells & whistles one
would expect to see in a Web store catering to the luxury product market.
BigFish made countless improvements to how the site looks and operates
therefore tightening up our brand identity.

President and Founder of Eagans Emporium

Carrefour selects Solveda India
1-Apr-2011: Mineola.
The Carrefour Group has grown to become one of the worlds leading distribution groups.
As the second largest worldwide retailer, and the largest in Europe, Carrefour currently
operates 6 multi-format channels: Hypermarkets, Supermarkets, Hard Discount, Convenience
stores, Cash & Carry Stores and E-commerce. The Carrefour group currently has over
15,600 stores, either company-operated or franchises. Solveda replaced their
non-transactional corporate website with a fully developed, tested and pre-configured
eCommerce solution using the IBM Websphere Commerce Server Platform.
Carrefour India is deeply committed towards the Cash and Carry market
in India. We already have 2 stores in India and in the process of
setting up many more stores in near future. We firmly believe in a
multi-channel engagement with our customers whose business needs are
quite unique and very different compared to any other brick and mortar
stores. We have embarked on an ambitious journey within our E-Enablement
project which will make our response to a customer query more accurate,
timely and precise. Also, this is an excellent channel to communicate
to our stakeholders such as Suppliers, Farmers, NGOs, and potential employees.
In this journey, we selected the IBM Websphere Commerce Server platform and
partnered with Solveda (formerly Salmon India) for the complete implementation.
Solveda is a niche and expert partner within the IBM Websphere Commerce space,
and their deep technical and business understanding was critical to the
successful launch of our site. Their multi-continent exposure and past experience
greatly reduced our time to market and project cost.
