Company: DHL is a global leader in the logistics industry, offering services in international parcel delivery, eCommerce shipping and fulfillment as well as industrial supply chain management and express international road, air, and ocean transport. Since its inception in 1969, DHL has grown to roughly 380,000 employees spread across over 220 countries and territories. As an internationally recognized brand, DHL delivers over 1.5 billion parcels per year.

Problem: WooCommerce didn’t support DHL in creating parcel labels for Europe and Asia by default, as such DHL needed a solution for their thousands of medium to enterprise business customers who expect an integration for their WooCommerce-enabled eCommerce websites.

Solution: Progressus.io developed an official DHL plugin as a WooCommerce integration solution with the primary functionality of creating packing labels in the back end. Progressus.io also built additional services for labels including affixing reference numbers, insurance, duties and documentation for international packages, issuing automatic tracking numbers, return parcel handling, sending transactional emails as DHL as well as other advanced options, and customizations. The highly-rated and well-received plugin was built with an object-oriented data structure and supports individual screen options for each of the included country integrations creating an increase in workflow efficiency. The plugin was created to support the popular DHL Paket for Germany, DHL Parcel for Benelux, DHL eCommerce Asia as well as an integration for Deutsche Post International for all European countries with a separate API, and an independent integration for Sweden.

The WooExperts at Progressus.io created a solution that offers absolutely critical features required for running an eCommerce business that wouldn’t otherwise be available to thousands of businesses.

Company: Automattic is the company behind WordPress.com and WooCommerce. They have almost 2,000 employees in 96 countries speaking 120 different languages.

Solution: Progressus.io has taken point on maintaining all their shipping plugins; providing ongoing bug fixes and enhancements in a timely manner. With the extra hands, Automattic has been able to successfully focus on new projects.

Company: Budget Car Rental is a globally recognized brand for vehicle rentals, both operating and licensing its brand throughout the world, such as for their Harrisburg location in Middletown, PA in the United States. Founded in 1958, it was established as a company offering quality, budget-friendly rentals with a focus on creating a rewarding experience for renters and still is today as an industry leader.

Problem: Budget Harrisburg approached the WooExperts at Progressus.io to help them manage customers and rentals in an efficient and streamlined manner as they were using Google spreadsheets and it was becoming unmanageable.

Solution: Progressus.io used WooCommerce to build their “Vehicles” page with product pages that included custom design modifications that are unique to Budget Harrisburg. The Gravity Forms plugin was extensively adjusted so that cars and features could be tailored based on customer selections. Several custom options were created for selections such as for insurance coverage, included mileage per month and VIP pricing. Additionally, taxes and pricing totals were set to automatically update based on the address the customer inputs to create an accurate, and instant quote. Beyond that, Progressus.io also created a bespoke Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software using the WordPress admin dashboard for Budget Harrisburg that tied the customers’ selected options to their information, which is then saved.

Since the integration of the instant quote capability paired with the CRM, Budget Harrisburg has saved countless hours of work through the efficient and organized digital system that Progressus.io built. Budget Harrisburg can now seamlessly keep track of their customers and their quotes to quickly process their orders when they come and pick up their car rentals. Now, renters can expect to spend less time waiting and more time on the road to their next adventure.

Company: Established in 1888, Janovic is New York’s number one and premier full-service interior design firm, the go-to source for paint and decor as well as a household name for over a century. Family-owned and operated, Janovic is also known globally as the color authority, providing an authoritative and ongoing color of the year for the home improvement industry.

Problem: Janovic’s website was strictly a portfolio where customers could view inventory, then shop in one of their physical locations. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a shift needed to be made to fully accommodate online shopping and delivery, which is why they approached Progressus.io.

Solution: Progressus.io started by rebuilding the home page from the ground up, adding full eCommerce capabilities with WooCommerce. This included fully customized product pages right down to their design and the way they functioned. Then, a fully customized business-to-business (B2B) ordering system was created that listed all products across different categories. A specific paint list was also made with an API integration for the leading national Benjamin Moore Paint brand. Not only can businesses now make multiple product purchases at one time, but the color swatches and color details are now automatically made available for Benjamin Moore paints for an enhanced and comprehensive user experience. From there, a business-to-customer (B2C) ordering system was created. Both ordering systems were built with an order delivery integration where items can be reserved for pick up in-store complete with time slots or for delivery to a chosen address. Finally, a custom payment system was created so businesses and customers alike could create accounts with an efficient, enhanced and streamlined checkout and payment process.

Janovic is now able to continue their dedication to quality and serve customers and businesses throughout the COVID-19 pandemic without skipping a beat.

Forest Whole Foods sells organic and affordable whole foods.

This UK-based family business is on a mission to make healthy food accessible so that more people are eating “real food” and cooking meals from scratch.

All Forest Whole Foods’ products are sourced from local suppliers who share a passion for organic food standards. Products such as organic pumpkin seeds, unblanched almonds, and sunflower seeds are packed “with codes that can be traced right back to the farm they were grown on.”

“We provide a service to people who want to feed themselves and their families with honest, healthy foods that don’t cost the earth.”

Forest Whole Foods started as one bag of organic hemp seeds and a simple mission. Its founders had had enough of “spending lots of money on fancy packaging and expensive branding,” and so they slowly began building their stock and product range.

Customers will be glad to learn that Forest Whole Foods are Soil Association certified and comply with EU organic legislation. They proudly boast a five-star food hygiene certificate from the FSA and work closely with trading standards, “so you know exactly what you are getting when you shop with us.”
