Lovech Woodwork's Transition to Custom E-commerce and ERP Solutions by Vestra Inet
Lovech, known for mainly dealing in MDF and slab doors, is a reputable business based in Concord, Ontario. They have years of experience in successfully undertaking woodworking projects across the country. Although MDF and slab doors are two key products offered at Lovech, they also manufacture a wide range of cabinets, folds, panels, and other custom accessories, known for their impeccable quality. Lovech lets customers order customized wooden doors, MDF doors, and drawers with minimal effort through their website.
Lovech needed a system to enable custom designing and a hassle-free ordering experience for the customers. Additionally, the system would need to be able to carry out functions like inventory management, document management, supplier relationship management, and full-fledged CRM for the effective functioning of their business.
The production management system used for this project enables the employees of Lovech to review order placements, generate work orders, and initiate the production of the order. Production schedule configurator is another useful asset that we added to their system. As the name suggests, this configurator enables the company to schedule the production of doors and slabs in a timely manner.
The custom configurator feature added to the system offers accurate pricing of commonly-bought products to the customers. Since Lovech also deals in numerous special products, we came up with a special products quotation system that made the customers aware of the price of different special products.
The custom configurator and special products quotation system together offer customers transparent pricing and visibility at every step of the purchase. While the CRM system enables Lovech to manage the entire customer relationship with ease, the ERP system used in this project enables the business to keep track of its orders, resources, and supply chain all in one place.
With the addition of the custom accounting feature, we provided Lovech with a 360-degree system capable of making the entire business operations digitized and easy to track. The custom accounting feature of the system is capable of tracking payables, receivables, and inventory accounting, thus taking care of the entire accounting aspect of the business.

Online Ordering System
- Live inventory updates
- Custom price margins

Development and implementation of these online ordering systems leads to seamless end-to-end order placement that significantly improves the ease of the process. Additionally, the elimination of human involvement in the ordering process reduces staffing costs, eradicates the risk of human errors, and makes the ordering systems available 24/7. Special calculator integration also drastically boosts the speed with which large, complex orders are placed and processed. The automation of this system helps reduce supply chain complexity while allowing multi-stage customizations with ease.
Product Configurator
- Real-time product view
- Automatic SKU generation
- Multiple-stage customization
- Quote generation integration
- Custom compatibility filters
Product configuration software is a smart tool that allows your customers to accurately configure products to the smallest detail before ordering them. We design custom product configuration systems to intelligently guide users in a step-by-step process, ending up with their desired product. Product modifications can be visualized in real time, enabling your customers to see the unit as each element or detail is added or deleted. This feature also enables your customers to preview the product before placing an order, giving you confidence that your customers get a positive post-purchase impression and will come to you for more business.
When we build product configurators, we account for compatibility filters and exceptions that apply automatically as your client customizes the product, ensuring incompatible or irrelevant elements are not displayed during configuration. This accounts for your unique assembly process so that your customers can be guided through the product assembly without live agent involvement.
Product configurator can be integrated with a custom quote generator feature so your customers can create a quote and adjust it at any time before placing the order. Once the product is fully configured, the system can automatically generate a unique SKU, ensuring your customer’s order details are secure and error-free and the product your client receives in the end is exactly what they ordered.
Price Calculator
- Real-time complex calculations
- Multi-system integration
- Custom price margins
Price calculators with advanced capabilities met unique situations where complicated calculations involving multiple variables were required. The functionality of the calculators varied based on client needs, with features like quantity-based discounts, price margin management, additional options, and real-time updates to the displayed price. These calculator tools were implemented into various client systems including product builders, online ordering systems, and assembly selection. Depending on requirements, additional functionality to set custom price margins was programmed. Additionally, personalized pricing information was displayed to individual users based on order history and other predetermined factors.
Each pricing calculator was designed to meet specific criteria for each client. These custom systems were designed to adapt to the unique needs of each business and its specialized operations, with the ability to adapt to multiple complex variables in real-time. This greatly improved user satisfaction due to immediate results when making item selections or building products online. Designed to be integrated into multiple client systems, these calculators met exact requirements in terms of customizability and functionality. Custom price margins enabled users with administrative access to define parameters such as quantity-based discounts, promotional offers, individual product price margins, and more. This resulted in a more personalized pricing information display for users.
E-commerce System
- CRM and ERP connection
- Quantity discount and special rate calculations
- Multiple shipping and merchant integrations
Currently, there are various commercially available software applications to facilitate e-commerce functionality such as Shopify. These have a fixed set of features that are meant to work with straightforward e-commerce operations. However, in more complicated scenarios, these lack features to meet the unique needs of individual businesses.
Complex e-commerce solutions were designed and tailored to meet specialized requirements such as customizable price margins, connectivity to product builder tools, quantity-based discount calculations and connection to CRM and ERP systems. Order placement features included support for QR codes or scanner guns. Additionally, special rate calculators and communication with multiple shipping carrier databases were designed. These features were implemented based on client needs in order to improve the specific capabilities of e-commerce systems unique to each client.
