Case Study: Purdue Extension streamlines public and internal buying with Magento Open Source by IWD Agency

Purdue Extension streamlines two-audience commerce with IWD Agency over 3+ years

Purdue Extension, part of Purdue University, needed an ecommerce store to sell educational materials to both the public and its own internal departments. Their challenge was that a standard Magento platform could not serve these two distinct buyer audiences from a single store. IWD Agency was engaged to build a solution on Magento Open Source.

IWD Agency engineered a custom Magento store featuring a gated internal catalog, five different payment methods including university billing, and a tax-exempt checkout workflow. The solution streamlined procurement with custom reporting, eliminating manual work for the finance team. The store serves two audiences cleanly and is kept current with an annual upgrade program managed by IWD Agency.
