Based in Poland, Sylius is an E-commerce Open Source framework using Symfony. Easy to learn and use, based on development by testing providing high-quality coding, Sylius benefits from excellent documentation supported by an active community (close to 500 contributors on GitHub, over 1,500 users on Slack and more than 17,000 commits). You might think it’s a detail, but for us…

To date, the Sylius framework and its components have been downloaded over 4 million times and are used by companies of all sizes, worldwide. Some impressive references, like Reiss, PopSugar or Best Value are also implemented on Sylius.

Long story short: it’s for these good reasons along with many others that today we are proud to announce that NewQuest has joined the Sylius’ team of professional partners!

Sylius for eCommerce

DID YOU MENTION SYMFONY?

Symfony is an Open Source framework in French PHP, enabling the development of tailor-made web applications. The important international community ensures that projects developed in Symfony have strong flexibility and upgradability.

CMS OR FRAMEWORK ?

Since the beginning of NewQuest, we’ve been developing the majority of our work using CMS such as PrestaShop, Magento or WordPress.

We became aware of Sylius a few years ago: one of our clients had very specific needs and the traditional CMS couldn’t meet these requirements, notably in terms of performance and upgradability. It was when looking for a more modulable solution that we came across Sylius: a framework in the shape of a multitude of decoupled, easily configurable components for e-commerce. Bingo!

Today, this new partnership lets us carry out innovative experiments, opens up new perspectives and more closely meets certain needs arising from our clients’ demands.

By becoming a professional partner for Sylius, NewQuest has supplemented and broadened its technical scope.

Actually, a CMS is closer to a web application for managing and delivering website content. As long as the content is provided, the CMS creates and configures the web pages. No need to rethink the whole thing each time you make a modification, it’s possible to replace just the content.

Frameworks, on the other hand, are the basis of a development. They provide the tools which enable you to develop what you’re looking for more easily/quickly, they comply to a schematic organizational or architectural plan. Frameworks provide the basic functions, automate some tasks and have rules which must be obeyed.

Thus, Sylius is a solution more suited to off the beaten path e-commerce needs or suitable for sites which have a component which may be more easily integrated or coupled with the Symfony framework.

Moreover, as we mentioned above, the Sylius technology is built entirely from decoupled components, which means each function (product catalogue, shipping solutions, promotion system …) can be used by another application. In this way, even when using a framework other than Symfony, we are now able to offer all our clients certain components of Sylius.

A THREE-DAY TRAINING COURSE

For 3 days, the founder of Sylius – in person, came to our premises in Chambéry to train part of our team. Three intense days during which we went into this solution more deeply and perfected our use of it.

And as always, if you’d like further information on this subject, don’t hesitate to contact our team!

Have you said ERP?

For several years, NewQuest helps you to implement ERP! This tool, that takes the form of a software, allows you to easily follow your operational information and services. Composed of independent and interactive units that cover all the information systems, it gives flexibility to any company. Indeed, each unit manages a specific type of information and the company can choose to turn it off or on. Purchase management, stocks management, accountability, storage management… The ERP, linked to your e-shop, allows you to centralize all your data and makes your life simpler. Hello! The mission of NewQuest starts here!

And so, we have been implementing a lot of different ERP units for our clients to improve:
– Stock management
– Prices management
– Orders management and the tracking
– Client’s data management

A lot of advantages!

As explained before, an ERP centralizes a lot of information on the same platform. Now, you can have a complete view of your data and get well-informed when you have to take a decision. Indeed, it allows you to in-depth analysis, a good way to better understand your customers, to improve your forecast and to strengthen your marketing strategy.

Another advantage, the ERP deletes any wrong, lost or duplicate data. Each action that your website does is automatically transferred to your ERP. Let’s take an example: when you want to edit a price, you only have to change it in your ERP software and it will be automatically changed on your website. Another example: when a customer buys a product, the client’s information is registered on your ERP with all the other data that you already have for this client (no matter how the data was collected, from your stores or your e-shop).

What is an ERP?

The ERP also has a huge advantage: you can automate product management, orders and shipments. In that way, orders and client’s data will be included in the ERP without any physical assistance. A monitoring system even allows you to follow the status of the expedition.

Regarding the stock management, you can automate it too. No matter if you sell online or offline, you will find out all the information on the ERP platform and the stock will be updated according to the sales. Furthermore, it seems important to precise that your suppliers can be connected to your EPR and automatically supply you when you need.

As you know, an ERP allows you to save time and to have a complete and instantly view of your activity, both online and offline. You will then be able to increase the customer satisfaction and exclusively focus on your activities with more added value.

We have been working with different ERP software

Indeed, according to the client’s needs and objectives, the solution can be different. Here is a non-exhaustive ERP list where you can see different software we worked with. We can implement them on platforms like PrestaShop, Magento, WooCommerce or Symfony.
