Shortlist & platform selection
Profotonet is a full-service photo lab based in Capelle aan den IJssel. They specialize in high-quality photo prints, wall decorations, photo books, and other photo products — all delivered with craftsmanship, attention to color and materials, and fast turnaround. Profotonet faced the challenge of selecting an e-commerce platform that could support complex product configurations, fit operationally, and stay within budget.
Profotonet selects the right platform. Open Commerce delivers advice that balances functionality and budget.
Open Commerce was involved in two phases to support Profotonet. First, we mapped business processes, workflows, and critical requirements through interviews and analysis of the existing application landscape. This allowed us to define exactly what was needed: support for complex photo product configurations, integrations, and a user-friendly management environment.
Next, we created a shortlist of suitable platforms and evaluated them critically — not just on features, but primarily on stability, maintenance costs, licensing fees, and operational fit. We developed a clear evaluation framework and guided Profotonet in making an informed decision.
Thanks to this structured approach, Profotonet gained a clear overview of their options, a solid basis for their final choice, and a platform that meets their unique requirements, business processes, and budget. This laid the foundation for a future-proof e-commerce platform.
