Case Study: Nobilis achieves a multilingual online catalog and real-time B2B stock & order visibility with LANSA for the Web

Nobilis Evolves Ecommerce Web Site With Lansa

Nobilis, a renowned French designer and manufacturer of high-end fabrics, furniture and wall coverings sold through about 200 partners worldwide, needed to evolve a simple corporate website into an exhaustive, multilingual online catalog and a B2B extranet that would give subsidiaries and distributors real‑time access to stock levels and order status — all while a small four‑person IT team preserved flexibility, speed of development and existing iSeries investments.

Using LANSA for the Web, Nobilis quickly built an integrated online furniture catalog (in under a month) and expanded to fabrics and planned wall/floor coverings, plus a secure multilingual B2B extranet providing live stock, reorder dates and order tracking. The solution required no new hardware, leveraged their iSeries security, cut communication costs for overseas partners, improved customer and partner service, and delivered immediate positive uptake while saving development time and money.
