in Canada
Franklin Empire Inc. is the largest independently-owned electrical distributor in Canada, with over seven decades of market presence.

Franklin Empire Inc focuses on supplying electrical components for new and old commercial and residential constructions and maintaining industrial plants.
On the services front, the brand provides OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) and MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Operations) solutions besides other specialty services like lighting design and automation.
Challenges
The brand wanted a Magento agency to fix issues existing in Magento and third-party ERP sync.
To pace up the ordering placement experience for its existing users, the brand wanted to build custom B2B ordering features.
The electrical distributor needed Magento integration expertise to integrate email marketing and product information management (PIM) systems into its Magento backend.
To focus on sales and fulfillment activities, the brand was looking for a dedicated Magento managed services partner to take care of the store’s regular maintenance and upgrades.
Solutions
ERP and Magento Sync
Ziffity optimized queries and restructured communication between the systems to ensure seamless connectivity between Magento and third-party ERP.
Custom Magento Development
By customizing the 'Quick Order' B2B feature offered by Magento, the store's users were able to add products by specifying SKU or product name and place bulk orders easily.
Marketing Integration
To extend the marketing capabilities of the electrical distributor, Ziffity integrated a 3rd-party email marketing tool with the Magento backend.
PIM Integration
By integrating a product information management (PIM) system with the store, Ziffity helped the brand manage existing product data, achieve data consistency, and quickly release new products.
