Agilix Solutions
Agilix Solutions Builds a Unified Digital Ecosystem to Accelerate B2B Commerce Growth
Agilix Solutions was formed in a merger of French Gerleman and IAC Supply Solutions. They are a leading distributor of automation, datacom, electrical, industrial, OT/IT networking, power transmission, safety, and solar products. Innovative solutions and comprehensive services help Agilix customers in diverse industries improve productivity, enhance safety, and achieve operational goals.
Challenges
The initial formation of Agilix brought together multiple companies, websites, product catalogs, and digital processes. The organization needed to consolidate these properties without creating an overwhelming transition for existing customers.
In their new digital solutions, Agilix needed a flexible, scalable architecture that could accommodate new products, complex integrations, refined customer experiences, and expanded operational requirements. Reliable synchronization with suppliers, inventory systems, payment providers, shipping services, and other business platforms was also necessary.
Account-specific considerations for Agilix customers needed to be effectively implemented into the B2B purchasing environment of their new website. Product availability can vary by region or branch, pricing may be determined by individual customer agreements, and certain products require geographic or accountbased restrictions. Customers needed faster ways to find products, submit large orders, and manage detailed account information.
Solutions
Americaneagle.com teamed with Agilix to advance online capabilities and performance for their business and customers. ROC Commerce was selected to provide the core solutions for Agilix’s ecommerce environment. The respected platform supports personalized content, customer alerts, quick-order functionality, account-specific pricing, online quoting, and other specialized B2B capabilities.
The connection between ROC Commerce and Agilix’s ERP system, Infor, was essential to project success. The development team secured full integration of essential customer, product, pricing, inventory, and transaction information. The integration supports customer teams, ship-to locations, account-specific pricing, inventory availability, customer part numbers, order history, quote history, order simulation for final tax calculations, and order creation.
Automating these exchanges helps keep the storefront aligned with core business data while reducing the need for employees to reenter or manually reconcile information across systems.
The storefront also connects with a broader network of platforms supporting payments, shipping, procurement, loyalty programs, supplier information, search, and product configuration.
Advanced site search maximizes Hawksearch to connect all website assets and the online store, helping users discover relevant content and products from a unified search journey. To improve product discovery, the team integrated product information from the Affiliated Distributors eCatalog and IDEA product feeds. These sources help enrich the online catalog with the data and digital assets customers need to evaluate complex industrial products.
The modernized digital solutions for Agilix have unified the company’s brand, corporate content, product catalog, and ecommerce capabilities while supporting the complex operational requirements of industrial distribution. Agilix and Americaneagle.com have created a flexible digital commerce environment capable of growing and evolving alongside customers, services, product offerings, and long-term business strategy.
