Calex is the retail brand for lighting products of the Rotterdam company Electro Cirkel. The Calex product range consists of innovative and trendsetting energy saving lamps and LED lighting. All lamps are distributed world wide by retailers or under private label. In an ever increasing number of European countries you will find Calex lamps on the shelves of building material wholesalers, supermarkets and department stores.
Electro Cirkel strongly desired to develop an informative end consumer website containing lamp specifications, product sheets and product availability. This website needed to load information quickly and should be easily expandable into multiple languages.
Calex products are located in the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system. To optimize the performance of this website we decided to develop a custom made cloud solution. In it, all products are synchronized and cached during sleep hours. This speeds up the search engine, filtering system and auto-complete functions considerably. The search engine boasts auto suggestions to help find products more efficiently. Next to product range filtering, Calex also offer an energy calculator, comparison tool, store locator in Google Maps and a lamp knowledge base. These functions are invoked via a custom made interface (API).
To make sure all product data can be published into one standardized form, the website uses PDF writer software. This way, product sheets and energy labels can be downloaded on the spot for any product.
