About the Client
Hydrosolar Group is one of the biggest installation wholesaler groups in Poland. It offers, e.g., ventilation systems, air conditioning solutions, and heat pumps. The group owns a nationwide network of stationary and online wholesalers and offers 500k products from 500 different suppliers.
The Challenge
Before the cooperation, Hydrosolar and BIMs Plus were independent websites connected only by a common technology - Drupal. This made site management difficult because each change had to be made twice. The websites also needed improvement in terms of the user experience.
The Goal
We aimed to implement a new graphic design for both websites and combine them into a multi-installation. Drupal, with the multisite function, is ideal for such a task. It is a flexible solution that saves time and allows managing several websites from one admin panel. We also wanted both websites to match current UI/UX trends.
The Solution
We combined the websites into a Drupal multisite. Why was it a good solution in this case? The client can easily manage two websites from one place. Thanks to common components, multisite facilitates developers’ work, e.g., during updates.
Solution Details
Integrating Forms with the CRM System
We integrated website forms with the client’s CRM system. This allows transferring data from the Webform module to the CRM and managing communication with a potential customer in one place.
Extensive Event Calendar
Using Vue.js, we created a calendar presenting upcoming trainings and events. Users can filter the results, e.g., by city, industry, and event category.
Search Engine
Based on Elasticsearch, we built an extensive content search engine. Users can also filter the results by product range, articles, job offers, or training.
Content Import
We created a listing of Hydrosolar companies with their location on a map. We also imported data and company information from the previous website.
The Effects
The customer can attractively present the offer of two brands
We created websites that meet the client’s requirements. What did we achieve?
A simple and transparent panel for managing two websites at the same time.
Image consistency between the BIMs Plus and Hydrosolar websites.
Forms integrated with the client’s custom CRM.
An extensive search engine.
Drupal multi-installation that facilitates website management and development.
