Over the past decade, Hermes has established a national network of 12 bookstores proudly bearing the publisher’s emblem in cities across Bulgaria, including Sofia, Plovdiv, Varna, Burgas, Ruse, Stara Zagora, Blagoevgrad, Vidin, Pazardzhik, Sliven, Veliko Tarnovo, and Haskovo.
Guided by the motto “Books for every family member,” Hermes bookstores offer a diverse array of literary genres, encompassing fiction, reference materials, popular science, educational resources, encyclopedias, literature for leisure, illustrated editions, children’s books, stationery, and educational games.
Hermes bookstores play a vibrant role in their communities, regularly hosting book premieres, author meet-and-greets, and various cultural events. Distinguished authors such as Jorge Bukai, Jose Rodriguez dos Santos, Alexandra Marinina, Georgi Mishev, Vladimir Zarev, President Petar Stoyanov, Solomon Passi, Ivinela Samuilova, Nedyalko Slavov, Emil Andreev, Alexander Sekulov, Ralitsa Gencheva, Radoslav Gizgindzhiev, Stanislav Koichev (known as Stan), and many others have graced Hermes bookstores with their literary presence.
In a special effort to foster a love for reading among young audiences, they organize children’s festivities complete with delightful surprises.
To draw even closer to their cherished clientele, Hermes has chosen us to undertake the transformation of their online store by migrating it to Magento 2.
What we did for them:
- Separated their B2C online store - hermesbooks.bg;
- Excellent navigation;
- Advanced filters according to different product categories;
- ERP synchronization with Zeron ERP Business with the ability to create products, sync prices and stocks, transmit orders in real time, automatically change and track order statuses, sync order statuses from the ERP system to the online store;
- Integration with the entire nomenclature of products with several external suppliers - descriptions, photos, prices, etc. on a daily basis;
- Ability to add labels to products to visually distinguish special offers in the product catalog;
