Tender

and subsequent collaboration

In the summer of 2022, we were invited to bid on a customer portal project. At the time, ISOTRA was working with another company's analysis, which turned out to be incomplete. We won the tender and started from scratch with our own discovery.

Brief

and project challenges

ISOTRA needed not only to modernize how partners placed orders, but also to ensure smooth integration with their existing ERP and production systems. The portal had to support 7 languages and serve 3,000+ partners across Europe.

"It was essential to come up with a solution that enables a smooth transition of all partners to the new portal while maintaining continuity of business processes."

Tomáš Ondruš, CTO, Cognito Works

Third-party

software integration

One of the key challenges was integration with ISOTRA's existing systems, specifically the K2 information system and production configurator Infor CPQ.

Active role of

UX specialists

Our UX specialists played a crucial role, tackling complex user scenarios and optimizing the interface for partners across 43 countries.

Key features of the system

Advanced product configurator

Enables B2B partners to easily configure products like blinds, awnings, and pergolas, with dozens to hundreds of configurable parameters per product.

Real-time pricing

Through integration with the K2 system and Infor CPQ configurator, the system can instantly calculate prices and validate technical parameters of orders.

White labeling

Custom portal design for key business partners, allowing them to present themselves to their customers under their own brand.

Multi-language support

The system is designed with multi-language support, enabling ISOTRA to effectively operate in international markets.

Business cycle automation

The portal allows partners to manage the entire process from quotes through orders to complaints, significantly increasing efficiency and satisfaction.

Analytics & AI

Advanced sales, conversion, and partner behavior analytics. AI-powered search in manuals and technical documentation for faster onboarding and support.

Development

and coordination

Overall project development required close collaboration between multiple teams. Cognito handled portal development and integration with third-party systems.

Launch

and future plans

The portal was successfully launched in spring 2024, and ISOTRA's first business partners are already actively using it. Project development continues in an agile manner.

How we worked

From public tender through agile development to deployment and ongoing growth. Complete B2B portal delivery in partnership with ISOTRA and IT Euro.

1

Tender and analysis

We won the tender in summer 2022. The original analysis from another company proved inadequate, so we started fresh with our own discovery—mapping business processes, integration points, and user needs.
2

Architecture and UX design

Our UX specialists redesigned the overall experience, focusing on key ordering workflows. Software architects designed the integration layer connecting the portal with ISOTRA's ERP, PIM, and production systems.
3

Agile development and integration

Development involved close collaboration among 15 specialists from Cognito, ISOTRA, and ITEuro. We maintained two-way communication through shared sprints, joint demos, and continuous feedback loops.
4

Launch and deployment

The portal launched successfully in spring 2024. The system supports 7 language versions and serves over 3,000 partners with self-service ordering, real-time pricing, and delivery tracking.

Further development and AI

We're planning to implement AI capabilities for streamlined localization, technical support automation, and improved onboarding for new partners.
