In 2022, Bond Jewellery sought to enhance their online platform by integrating a real-time diamond feed from Nivoda, aiming to provide customers with up-to-date diamond availability and pricing. The existing website operated on a custom Content Management System (CMS) built with Angular and an outdated version of ASP.NET MVC, presenting unique integration challenges:
- Limited Documentation: The Nivoda API had sparse documentation, and the custom CMS lacked any formal documentation, complicating the integration process.
- Technological Constraints: The outdated technology stack of the CMS posed compatibility issues with modern APIs.
Our Approach
- Expert Analysis: Our team conducted an in-depth analysis of the existing CMS to understand its architecture and identify potential integration points.
- Custom Integration Development: We developed bespoke connectors to bridge the gap between the Nivoda API and the legacy CMS, ensuring seamless data flow.
- Currency Conversion Implementation: To cater to Bond Jewellery’s diverse clientele, we incorporated real-time currency conversion, allowing customers to view diamond prices in their preferred currency.
Outcome
- Enhanced User Experience: Customers now have access to a live diamond feed, ensuring they can view and select from the most current inventory.
- Operational Efficiency: The integration streamlined the inventory management process, reducing manual updates and minimizing errors.
- Increased Engagement: The up-to-date diamond listings and dynamic pricing have led to higher customer engagement and satisfaction.
This project underscores our technical expertise in navigating complex integrations, even within legacy systems, to deliver solutions that meet our clients’ evolving needs.
