Need for Infrastructure with Maximum Quality of User Experience, All Integrations Completed and Responding to High Real-Time Transaction Numbers
– Challenges –
ECZA1 Co-Founder Koray Karamanlı says they were searching for a reliable shopping environment on their platform because of the disruptions caused by the marketplace infrastructure they set out initially.
“As a result of our efforts, we managed to register nearly 3000 users on our platform in a short time. But in the first six months of our activity, we observed that our existing infrastructure could not respond even to the traffic on our website, and it often crashed. In addition, the lack of multiple shipping, e-invoicing integrations, the absence of a back-end reporting module, and the difficulty of registering on the site both created dissatisfaction with our users and created problems in attracting new customers.
It also brought extra workload to our employees and caused errors. For this reason, we made a radical decision at the beginning of the road and agreed with Interval to renew the entire system. Since our agreement with Interval, our number of customers and turnover have increased exponentially. It is not a coincidence that we provide high-quality service and high satisfaction to our users, but a success story written with an expert solution partner. The decision to completely renew the Ecza1 infrastructure came about due to many problems such as crashes caused by poor quality coding, many security vulnerabilities, reporting difficulties, lack of integration. Smart Search engines with better functionality and detailed filtering features were critical needs to satisfy users.
“Interval ensured that our service quality reached the best level we and our customers expected by producing custom solutions and continues to do so.” – Koray Karamanlı | General Manager of Ecza1
Why did Ecza1 choose Interval?
– Solution –
While Ecza1 continued to work despite the existing infrastructure problems, Interval started a digital transformation by producing many specific solutions at the back end side by racing against time. Then they designed a website with a maximized user experience suitable for desktop and mobile use and satisfied all needs.
Responsive Design
What’s New in the “Content Management System”?
The infrastructure and architecture of the site (Front end, back end, database) are completely renewed. (C#, ASP.net, HTML5, CSS, JavaScript)
Renewal of Infrastructure & Architecture
The registration process with the GLN number is now integrated with the Ministry of Health. Thanks to this, the manual control operation of the call center employees was eliminated.
Integration with Ministry of Health
Multiple courier companies integrated. Previously, there was only one courier company choice in the system, and users could not work with other possible courier companies they already agreed.
E-invoicing & e-billing integrated. Thus, the manual billing & invoicing operations is now eliminated.
