Company

Gesswein is a trusted supplier of precision tools and equipment serving jewelers, mold makers, metalworkers, and manufacturers worldwide. Focused on delivering quality products and service, Gesswein recognized the need to improve their digital customer experience and streamline backend operations to support ongoing innovation and growth.

The Challenge

Gesswein’s BigCommerce site was creating friction for both the business and its customers. Integration with their Acumatica ERP relied on an outdated plugin, resulting in manual adjustments, data inconsistencies, and operational inefficiencies. Additionally, BigCommerce’s B2B product was not fully embedded into the platform at the time — functioning more like an external plugin than a native feature — making it difficult to support Gesswein’s growing B2B needs.

To grow and innovate faster, Gesswein needed a modern commerce platform with seamless ERP integration, stronger built-in B2B capabilities, and the flexibility to reduce user friction and support faster rollout of new features.

The Solution

Gesswein partnered with Zaelab to replace their website with a modern, user-focused solution. The priority was to reduce friction, improve the Acumatica ERP connection, and streamline backend operations. The new platform also needed to support future innovation and growth.

Shopify was selected as the new eCommerce platform for its flexibility, performance, and robust B2B capabilities. It enabled smoother transactions, improved data flow, and laid a scalable foundation to support Gesswein’s evolving digital strategy. Shopify was also chosen due to its committed investment in advancing the platform and supporting long-term growth.

As part of the solution, Zaelab implemented an Advanced Product Listing Page (PLP) to improve product discovery and streamline the purchasing experience. With enhanced filtering, dynamic sorting, and real-time data visibility, the new PLP supports faster decision-making for Gesswein’s customers.
