myShop is a configurable online store for marketing furniture to end customers (B2C business). Own catalogs can be created, maintained and managed as well as sales items.

The shopping cart function offers customers convenient order processing with links to various payment methods (bank transfer, online payment systems/service providers such as Paypal, BillSafe, Heidelpay, Klarna, paymill, skrill). Company's own terms and conditions as well as a revocation policy and other customer information can be optionally integrated.

The stores run regularly on imos servers, but a separate server installation is also possible.

The customizable and rule-driven user guidance is the core of the NET solutions. With just a few mouse clicks, customers put together furniture and furnishings individually. Two different approaches are supported:

1. The NET configurator is a graphical online furniture configurator based on iX CAD data, where the customer selects a piece of furniture from a firmly defined catalog:

a. Properties such as dimensions, front and color, etc. are fully determined

b. Depending on these characteristics, prices, product descriptions and item images are generated and displayed

c. Selection or direct input of characteristics via selection menus, pictograms or prompt boxes controlled by XML logics

d. 3D visualization of the configured furniture in real time

e. Sales price generation through material surcharge calculation

2. NET designer is a graphical carcase configurator for modular assembly of articles independent of iX CAD data and allows further degrees of freedom in configuration, e. g.:

a. Adjustments to the 3D model of the article

b. Equipment of the article by drag&drop

c. Deposit of rule sets for error prevention during configuration

d. Generation of article texts for the shopping cart

The two configurators NET configurator and NET designer are easily integrated via an interface.

NET configurator offers a 3D model that immediately visualizes all changes to the configuration and clearly documents the configuration result. In contrast, with NET designer the desired furniture is graphically assembled interactively from individual components using drag & drop. The price and the visualization are updated immediately after each change. This approach has been specially developed for modular furniture systems, built-in cabinets or highly flexible cabinet walls.

The approach of using the furniture libraries previously designed with imos CAD for the sales catalogs is unique. The advantages are obvious: users use their 3D design data, including all parametrics, directly for sales planning and quotation generation. New articles and catalogs go online without further delay. The time-to-market factor is minimized and orders are already production-checked when they are received. Consistency and security in the process as well as in the data enable significant savings potential.

The created quotations and sales plans are imported directly into iX CAD, where they are automatically converted into production documents, parts lists and NC programs - manual order entry and processing are no longer necessary.

Quotations, invoices or delivery bills can be output as PDFs simply by pressing a button.
