This detailed case study delves into the challenges Koppi faced and the nuanced solutions provided by BSS B2B Solutions.

💪 Challenge

Koppi Roasters confronted a multifaceted challenge: establishing a dedicated wholesale section exclusively for B2B customers while fortifying it against unwanted B2C access. Their specific requirements included implementing Force Login to restrict general site access, crafting a sophisticated registration form tailored for B2B customers, displaying custom prices for this segment, and addressing various CSS-related customization requests to enhance the user interface.

Implementing Force Login:
One of the primary challenges Koppi encountered was restricting access to its wholesale section. They needed a solution that would ensure only B2B customers could navigate through this part of their website. BSS B2B Solutions responded with the implementation of the BSS B2B Lock app. This application not only hid prices from non-logged-in customers but also enforced Force Login, ensuring that only authorized B2B users could access the wholesale features.

Crafting a Dedicated B2B Registration Form:
A crucial aspect of Koppi’s requirements was the creation of a registration process tailored specifically for B2B customers. The standard registration form did not suffice for their needs. To address this, BSS B2B Solutions introduced the BSS B2B Solution app. This app not only facilitated the adjustment of prices and VAT exemptions for B2B customers but also allowed for the customization of the registration form to align with Koppi’s brand aesthetics and user experience preferences.

CSS-Related Customization Requests:
Koppi had specific design and user interface preferences that required customization of CSS elements. BSS B2B Solutions took on this challenge, ensuring that the wholesale section not only functioned seamlessly but also aligned with Koppi’s brand identity. This included adjustments to the visual elements on various pages, creating a cohesive and visually appealing experience for B2B customers.
