Messe Preview JTL-Connect

JTL-Connect 2019: News for JTL-BI and JTL-Shop 5

On Monday, we already provided you with plenty of information about JTL-Connect 2019, and today we’re following up with short previews of JTL-BI and JTL-Shop 5. So if you’re still unsure whether you’ll be visiting us in Düsseldorf on Friday, here are some more reasons why it’s worth the trip.

JTL-BI

In spring, we announced JTL-BI (short for Business Intelligence) at the JTL-Partner Convention. You can find out more about the basics of the new solution here. Since then, the project has been quiet, but not for lack of work in our development department. At JTL Connect, you, the customers, can take a look at our Business Intelligence solution for the first time.

What has happened since the JTL-Partner Convention?

We have made great progress, especially with the various reports that are available to decision-makers via JTL-BI. Our so-called Renner-Penner analysis, i.e. which items promise success and which are slow sellers, has now been defined and integrated. We have also integrated the short-term income statement (KER) and a daily overview of incoming and outgoing orders. With the KER in particular, we provide customers with a picture of their financial success that they were previously unable to obtain from JTL products.

Speaking of customers: in order to develop as closely as possible to customer requirements, we now have our first major alpha tester on board. For around two months now, the system has been working with “real data”, which we can use to test its function and requirements. Last but not least, we have made great progress in the area of overall design and user control. This is considerable progress for a project that was only launched at the beginning of the year.

What can visitors to JTL-Connect expect from JTL-BI?

At the JTL-BI stand, we will be making our anonymized alpha customer system available for trade fair visitors to get to know and try out. So you can click through for yourself and get an impression of the evaluations. In the presentation at 13:30 on the main stage, we will also be giving a live presentation of the system – you shouldn’t miss it.

If you get a taste for it on site and have suggestions or even want to support us as a tester, please talk to our team at the stand.

JTL-Shop 5

Attentive blog readers will certainly have noticed our surveys on the new store template over the past few months. But that’s not the only part of the JTL-Shop 5 release that we’ve been working on over the past few months. After providing you with the OnPage Composer for testing after the trade fair last year, we have implemented a lot of the feedback we received. The result: more stability, more user-friendliness and therefore the ability to edit your content in the store quickly and easily.

The focus was on usability for users and buyers. So we worked on the back end. The back end template is now fully responsive, a plus for administration on the go. This was accompanied by the optimization of the navigation and, if that wasn’t enough, it is now also available in English. Version 5 of the front end offers customers an all-round frustration-free shopping experience: intuitive design, significantly revised navigation and many improvements for the Google page speed review bring lots of benefits for retailers.

What can visitors to JTL-Connect expect from JTL-Shop?

Similar to JTL-BI, our store team is also making the current development status available for testing. The new features mentioned above are already included, so you can already get your hands on the revised OnPage Composer and the new back and front end. Again, please leave us your feedback, because that’s exactly what our test instances are for. Of course, we will also report more about the development of JTL-Shop 5 and its possibilities in the plenary lecture. So if you’re curious, don’t miss “Creative product descriptions and landing pages with JTL-Shop 5” at 11:25 am.
