The challenge
Librería Peluffo is an Argentine stationery and office supplies retailer with a catalog of more than eleven thousand items managed in its ERP.
The hard part of a large catalog online is not publishing it once: it is that stock and price change every day, and a store that lies about availability loses the sale and the customer.
And none of it was online.
- Eleven thousand items: too many to load or maintain by hand.
- Data that moves daily: stock and price live in the ERP and change constantly.
- No online channel: the full catalog was invisible to anyone not in the store.
Keying the same catalog into two systems guarantees that one of them is wrong.
The solution
We built the store so the ERP stays the single source of truth: the catalog is published from it, and stock and price are never typed twice.
The store
- PrestaShop store with the full catalog organized by category.
- Product pages generated from the ERP data, not loaded by hand.
One source of truth
- Catalog, stock and price synced from the ERP.
- A change in the system of record reaches the store without anyone repeating the work.
Making eleven thousand items findable
- Category structure and internal search built for a catalog of this size.
- Filters that let a customer narrow down instead of scrolling.
Architecture and technology
- PrestaShop with catalog, stock and price integrated against the client ERP.
- Category structure and search sized for a catalog of more than eleven thousand items.
