Partnered with hundreds of retail stores, Madani Rings needed a system that would allow customers to pick and choose what their rings would look like before they could place an order with an affiliate store. To facilitate this, an advanced, online product configurator was designed, where various facets of the ring such as base metal, inlay metal, ring size, karat and engraving can be customized and selected online. Once the specific options have been selected, the software automatically generates an SKU number which the manufacturers can then use to replicate the exact design specifications.
Moreover, in accordance with the change in materials and dimensions of the ring, the respective changes in pricing can also be seen in real-time by the customer, thanks to the price calculator feature. The rings are then collected from a nearby retail store.
Madani Rings has two aspects, one is a brand that showcases the designs of the rings to attract the customer and the other is a business-to-business affiliation with boutique stores. Thus, they needed an effective communication system that allowed them to conduct smooth e-commerce operations with these stores. To do this effectively, a software was required where the prices of the rings were calculated by the location-based variable pricing of the raw materials. This software was also required to factor in special discounts/commissions for each individual store based on a variety of parameters.
All these features were made possible with the aid of custom price margin settings and automatic IP address detection. Thus, when a partner enters the correct details on their own product configurator to place an order, not only will they see pricing that is specifically calculated for their store, but the system will also suggest an optimal retail price at which they can sell the product.
Apart from supplying their products to various boutiques, the company also had to bill these stores on a regular basis, which was made possible by automated invoice generation. This feature would send the invoices to partner stores at regular intervals, offering them some financial flexibility. However, the system also has a fixed upper limit, to ensure there is no defaulting with respect to the invoices. Therefore, these custom solutions aided the company in operating a comprehensive B2B and B2C system, benefiting the retail partners and the customers respectively.

Product configuration software is a smart tool that allows your customers to accurately configure products to the smallest detail before ordering them. We design custom product configuration systems to intelligently guide users in a step-by-step process, ending up with their desired product. Product modifications can be visualized in real time, enabling your customers to see the unit as each element or detail is added or deleted. This feature also enables your customers to preview the product before placing an order, giving you confidence that your customers get a positive post-purchase impression and will come to you for more business.
When we build product configurators, we account for compatibility filters and exceptions that apply automatically as your client customizes the product, ensuring incompatible or irrelevant elements are not displayed during configuration. This accounts for your unique assembly process so that your customers can be guided through the product assembly without live agent involvement.
Product configurator can be integrated with a custom quote generator feature so your customers can create a quote and adjust it at any time before placing the order. Once the product is fully configured, the system can automatically generate a unique SKU, ensuring your customer’s order details are secure and error-free and the product your client receives in the end is exactly what they ordered.

Depending on requirements, additional functionality to set custom price margins was programmed. Additionally, personalized pricing information was displayed to individual users based on order history and other predetermined factors.
Each pricing calculator was designed to meet specific criteria for each client. These custom systems were designed to adapt to the unique needs of each business and its specialized operations, with the ability to adapt to multiple complex variables in real-time.

PDF Generator
- Automatic PDF generator
- Picture-to-PDF conversion & Searchable PDF
- Generate PDF for product configurator
Modern websites have dynamic pages where the information that is displayed is generated from databases based on input from different systems such as product builders, ordering systems, e-commerce platforms, and more. However, there are situations where this data must be saved or printed. Examples of these situations include invoices, order information, shipping details, inventory data, performance statistics etc. The most common format to save the data in is PDF.
Automatic PDF generators were designed to store this unique information for later reference and put it into a more accessible format for emailing, printouts or backups. In unique situations, scanned images were converted to searchable text in PDF format to facilitate navigation through archives with large quantities of scanned information and documents.
Online Catalogue
- Multi-system integration
- Complex item relationships
- Automatic SKU generation
Having large inventories consisting of thousands of items with different variants and combinations leads to organizational issues. One of the obstacles faced by clients is the presentation of these listings to customers. Appropriate relationships between items of different compatibility settings are critical to a smooth user experience when navigating the product listings. Additionally, identification of unique items and combinations is essential where products are modified with infinite combinations of components. Effective search functionality within such an inventory is crucial to ensure user satisfaction.
Based on individual requirements, online catalogues were implemented for various clients. These systems were implemented alongside multiple systems and databases. Integration was supported with existing systems such as inventory control, production management, e-commerce platforms, and more. Various complex relationships were defined between items and their components to ensure compatibility. Additionally, online product builders were designed and implemented as required. In these cases, every uniquely designed item variant could be automatically added to the existing catalogue with a unique automatically assigned SKU number, creating self-propagating catalogues. Other features such as table builders (one product - multiple SKUs) and compatibility filters were also designed.
E-commerce System

However, in more complicated scenarios, these lack features to meet the unique needs of individual businesses.
Complex e-commerce solutions were designed and tailored to meet specialized requirements such as customizable price margins, connectivity to product builder tools, quantity-based discount calculations and connection to CRM and ERP systems. Order placement features included support for QR codes or scanner guns. Additionally, special rate calculators and communication with multiple shipping carrier databases were designed. These features were implemented based on client needs in order to improve the specific capabilities of e-commerce systems unique to each client.
