Main Goals
- Speed up CS-Cart.
- Functionality improvement in order to make the store more convenient for customers and administrators.
- Automation of warehouse accounting.
Our Work Process
1. Speed up CS-Cart
About 350 categories were represented in the online store. Due to such a high amount of products, the mobile version was very slow. The first measurements through Google PageSpeed Insights returned depressing results in the red zone – 19 out of 100.
The pages of the site consist of many blocks, which means we receive a lot of queries to the database. The solution is to cache blocks on the page, by doing this instead of processing blocks every time, you can process them once and put them in the cache. Data from the cache will be given instantly.
The second step was to optimize the size of the images. All images were compressed without loss of quality.
These measures accelerated page loading by 4.5 times. Google PageSpeed Insights scores are now in the green zone at 90 out of 100. This is a great score that is important for both user experience and search engines.

2. Packaging stickers
In order to make it easier for ieDepot to ship the products packaging should include all of the order information. We have added a section for customizing stickers to the admin panel. The administrator enters the necessary information about the order, and the warehouse workers print it on a sticker and stick it on the package. This greatly facilitates the work of the delivery service.
3. Automation of accounting for products in the warehouse
ieDepot has most of its products in stock, allowing them to be shipped the same day they are ordered. This is great news for customers, but at the same time it is a huge burden on warehouse workers. To facilitate their work, we have implemented a system for accounting for balances and searching for products by barcode.
A barcode scanner is connected to the computer in the warehouse. When a product arrives, the administrator scans the barcode on it, and the product information is automatically uploaded to CS-Cart. No manual input is required. Also, the barcode accounting system is used when packing products: before packing you need to scan the barcode, and then this product will be marked as packed in the order. This helps to correctly take into account the product status and not miss anything.
4. Possibility to buy products in installments
In the ieDepot online store, you can apply for product purchase in installments. In the administrative panel, the monthly payment and the loan term are configured depending on the cost of the products. The buyer can find out this information on the product page and, if everything suits him, fill out a feedback form for obtaining a loan.
A loan specialist from ieDepot will call him back and clarify everything he needs. For the feedback form, an extended modification is used: fields can be configured, added and removed.
5. Flexible management of administrator rights
The client has many employees working with CS-Cart. In order to limit the access of personnel to the capabilities of the administrative panel, we have made a modification with which you can fine-tune the rights of administrators. They will have different access to add-ons, different privileges for working with products and printing documents. You can set access to the catalog: for example, not all administrators can delete products. Advanced access rights settings minimizes the risk that one of the employees will disrupt the work of CS-Cart.
6. Usability improvement
We have significantly improved the usability of the storefront and added features to stimulate sales:
- customer receives a reminder about his abandoned cart in the form of a pop-up window;
- for each product, a block with additional accessories or kit options is offered;
- the Google API auto-completes the address of the buyer;
- bright labels mark promotional or new products;
- customizable banners inform about discounts and promotions.
