The Challenges
Online sales channels help companies stay ahead of their competitors. However, our client was unable to use a standard online store for the following reasons:
Complex Goods
Our customer sells technologically sophisticated products that are smaller components of multicomponent systems. Such products require exceptional accuracy in the selection, but at the same time need standardization. For each product, they need the ability to create a new product card.
01
Multivariate Analysis
When designing a system for specific parameters – such as heating, our client’s customers use elements that need to be defined with clarity and precision. All characteristics of the goods that were sold were accurate and unchanged. However, suppose the necessary product was not available. It has to be replaced by combining other components with different parameters that could create a system with the required characteristics.
02
Rigid Standardization
The product purchased by a buyer must be quintessential for multiple other elements of the final system. Any error or assumption in the parameter of a system element can lead to a malfunction, so accuracy is vital to avoid dangerous accidents.
03
Delayed Consequences
An error in choosing a product may not appear immediately but lead to a system crashafter a while. Then the pledged resource will already be exhausted, and the system will operate at total capacity, and stopping it will entail high costs.
04
User-Friendly Interface
Despite its complexity, it is important for the site to be easy-to-use for both our client and their customers. The products are presented for sale on a public domain and may be used by individuals with limited experience. The selection algorithm should be at maximum efficiency to provide both parties with a flawless experience.

The Solutions
ITUniversum developed an online store boilersupplies.comwith a tool for creating customized product cards and a unique search algorithm for mating elements (made together with the client's specialists).
The algorithm takes into account the strict operational requirements of each system element, including:
dimensions
load
throughput
efficiency
duration of use (each system has a guaranteed service life based on the service life of the most short-lived part)
conjugation of materials
tolerances.
