Melbourne based ‘sound’ professionals Soundcorp have just launched their new ecommerce site based on the increasingly popular Magento platform. Using Web Ninja’s customisable Magento integration, Soundcorp can control their product content on their web site using their MYOB Exo ERP system.

Stock and their relative attributes are sent from MYOB Exo up to the web store ensuring stock details are relevant and pricing is up to date, whilst new orders received on the web are automatically recorded in MYOB Exo for processing.

Using a lovely fully featured design, Soundcorp also chose to incorporate their Ebay store into the Magento site (using a Magento extension). This means that orders received in the Ebay store are also created in MYOB Exo automatically……awesome!

Well done to Mike, Simon and the rest of the Soundcorp team on a their new site.

Gavin and Keren Brown, the nucleus of The Brown Trading Co are committed to providing excellence at every level, from design and production through to relationship building and customer service. With an already successful web presence, Gavin contacted Web Ninja to integrate their web store to their MYOB Premier accounting solution, knowing that being a small company, they would reap the benefits of ‘efficiency’ by linking both their web site and MYOB.

Gavin also needed to get things up and running quickly as he had a very important trade show where he wanted to capture orders ‘there and then’ on the site and not have to worry about keying them into MYOB at a later date. Based on a beautiful design from The Brown Trading Co, the Ninjas got underway incorporating  both retail and wholesale functionality into one web store, some of these features include:

• Product List and Product Details pages appear together, so a customer can easily see both the full range within a category whilst also looking at the details of a specific product.
• Product list broken down into ‘styles’, whilst not a standard feature in MYOB, The Brown Trading Co can use Web Ninja’s custom fields to organise products into ‘style’ groupings for better presentation on the web.
• Full control of  ‘media’ and ‘trade fairs’ pages using Web Ninja’s user friendly new ‘Content Management System’.
• ‘Related Products’ – controlled using Web Ninja’s admin section.
• Mininum buying quantities and multiple pack options (for wholesale buyers) – set in MYOB using a ‘custom’ field.
• Minimum product ‘spend’ amount for wholesale customers.
• ‘Stockists’ page broken down into states and ‘read’ from MYOB directly.
• Facebook, Twitter and Blog links.

Well done to Gavin and Keren for their hard work and efforts to achieve a wonderful looking site in such a short time (and the Ninja’s of course).

WA based family business – Project Engraving and Digital have decided to implement a new Web Ninja web store integrated to their new Ostendo accounting and job management system.

Having already used an e-commerce solution in the past, Pauline and Chris from Project Engraving & Digital knew what they needed in a web store for both their current wholesale customers and potential new ‘retail’ visitors, they just needed one that was integrated to their new accounting system, hence the phone call to Web Ninja.

Whilst undertaking a new accounting system implementation and a new web store project at the same time is a significant undertaking, Pauline’s organisational skills and Chris’ experience with web stores, should hold them in good stead.

Keep an eye out for their new Web Ninja web store in the next few months.

From humble beginnings in 1975 to multiple Retail outlets across New Zealand, including a ‘rebuilt’ Christchurch store, the Harris family have continued to grow their business by innovating, ensuring they stock a wide range of products and providing superior customer service.

Twelve months ago Graeme Harris flicked the ‘on’ switch on their new web store. Graeme like all good business owners took responsibility for this major project, being involved in all areas from design to data to promotion of the new site.

In that time they have serviced many New Zealanders, far and wide. Using Web Ninja’s integrated web stores, linked to MYOB Exo, the web site has become a roaring success and allowed them to grow this area of the business with efficiency and accuracy.

Congratulations to the Graeme and the rest of the Gordon Harris team for making their e-commerce site a success – Happy Anniversary. If your into ‘art’, then visit www.gordonharris.co.nz and check out another successful Web Ninja web store.

New Zealand based The Wild South brand was founded in 1995 by a couple of like minded individuals, intent on making their mark in the New Zealand clothing industry.

They have operated a number of stores in NZ since that time and also had an existing web site that needed to be updated and integrated to their accounting solution (Attache Pro). Mike from Kauri Clothing, the owners of the The Wild South brand wanted a integrated solution as he knew the benefits and efficiencies that could be achieved by only entering data in one place (that’s the Accountant in him!).

With a lovely design provided by Kauri Clothing, the Ninja’s went to work building the site, integrating to Attache Pro and adding some really cool and time-saving features like:

• Style/Colour/Size intepretation – products are grouped from the individual items in Attache Pro for correct presentation and ease of ordering.
• Discounts and pricing rules determined by Attache Pro.
• ‘Sale’ item tags using a tick box in Web Ninja software.
• DPS payment gateway integration
• Corporate Area where Kauri controls and display subsidies for employees of the company purchasing from Wild South Clothing that can be offset against purchases.
• Gift vouchers
• VIP signup that only require initial information and sends an email for further completion by the applicant.
• Store Locator controlled by Web Ninja ‘content management system.

The result….a nice fresh looking site that shows their products of well and provides a functional and efficient site for their customers.

Well done to Mike and his team at Wild South for getting their new site live…….if your looking for some beautiful and practical clothing that suits the NZ lifestyle, then hit up http://www.wildsouthclothing.co.nz

Normally our PHP code cutting Ninja’s (the smart guys) are locked up busily creating web sites and manipulating sql databases to suit customer requirements…….for a short time today however they were let out onto the beautiful ‘broadwater’ here on the Gold Coast for a well deserved ‘fishing’ trip……….

See below for probably the best looking ‘coders’ people you have ever seen!

Family owned since 1975 R Weatherdon & Co provide comprehensive and stylish high
quality products to the hotel, hospitality and office markets. Weatherdon’s wanted to not only expand their market reach with a new retail/wholesale web store, they also wanted to provide a easy to use, functional and handy option for their current customers and…..it had to be integrated to their Attache business software which they had used for many years.

Cue: phone call to the Ninja’s………

Weatherdon’s: We need a online store for retail and wholesale customers. We have an idea of designs we like and we need it integrated to Attache so we don’t have to maintain stock in two places.

Ninja’s: You’ve come to the right place.

Weatherdon’s: We need ‘new’ customers to register first before seeing RRP, any customer who completes registration can order immediately. Products are available to view, however pricing data is unavailable until registration is complete.

Existing customers can log-in and see their pricing (including quantity breaks) as maintained in Attache.

We need the ability for our sales ‘reps’ to create quotes for a customer which include a submission of custom pricing. Once a customer accepts a ‘quote’, the sales rep will be able to confirm the order before it being sent to Attache for processing.

Ninja’s: We can certainly help with this.

Weatherdon’s: We also want our customers to be able to create PDF documents from the web site for the categories they choose.

Ninja’s: No problemo (Spanish Ninja)

Weatherdon’s: We also want the carton quantity pricing breaks to be supplied to ‘logged-in’ customers only.

Ninja’s: Sure thing….on top of all that, we will also do this for you…

• make sure your ANZ E-gate and Paypal Express payment gateways are fully integrated so payment authorisations are automatic.
• Calculate your freight charges based on cubic weights or % of order value, whilst interpreting Australia Post postcode data.
• Give you the freedom for you to use Web Ninja ‘blocks’ technology for ‘banner’ management, including front page rolling ‘banner gallery’ and other images on the site.
• Show ‘labels’ against your stock items indicating ‘in stock’, ‘low stock’, ‘out of stock’ and ‘coming soon’……all based on Attache stock on hand figures.
• ‘Coming Soon’ (refer above) label based on purchase order due dates in Attache.
• Include our Web Ninja ‘coupons’ and ‘wish list’ modules for a better shopping experience.
• Intergrate Google ‘Analytics’ to ensure you keep up with your site ‘traffic’ statistics.

Ninja’s: Thank you Weatherdon’s for making the call to the Ninja’s and for your efforts in making the project a success.
