The challenge
D&B Supply has approximately 15 stores all with their own distinct inventory. They wanted an online experience where their customers can purchase items and pick them up in the specific store in their local area. Given this unique situation with inventory management, Binary Anvil had to build a custom extension to work with Adobe Commerce’s native Multiple Inventory Source so that it can properly sort through stock and able to determine the salable quantity of each store location. This allows the customer to choose which store they want to shop at and pick up their order when it’s ready.

What we did
01 Website redesign & ecommerce replatform
Redesigned the website to reflect the brand's identity and to make it simpler and easier to use. We also implemented a progressive mobile approach to keep the website's usability consistent and seamless across multiple devices (e.g., desktop, tablet, or phone).
02 STORE SWITCHER FUNCTIONALITY
Implemented a custom store switcher for customers to be able to select which D&B Supply store they want to shop and pick-up their order. Binary Anvil also implemented a dynamic inventory check when customers tend to switch from one store to another, to ensure that products that are already in their cart are available on the new store they switched into and prevent issues with post-sales. Customers can switch stores from the header as well as from the product details pages.
03 DYNAMIC TAX CALCULATION
Extended Avatax's functionality to be able to calculate tax based on the store location where the order is picked up.
04 SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIALS ON PRODUCT DETAIL PAGES
Binary Anvil implemented a customization on all product detail pages that allows D&B Supply to conveniently update or add downloadable documents to products that have manuals or other instructional materials.
05 MULTIPLE WEBSITES SET-UP
Utilized Adobe Commerce’s native multiple websites capability to build D&B Supply’s B2C and B2B websites.
