GoLive Nyffox

Since 2023, we have been developing the new webshop of Nyffenegger Armaturen AG based on the VELOX e-commerce foundation. Today, we are thrilled to announce the launch of the webshop, code-named “Nyffox”, which marks an exciting new step in our journey to revolutionize B2B ecommerce. It is our very first completed webshop fully built on a microservices architecture and the fourth VELOX project we have delivered so far, marking a significant leap forward in terms of integration, functionality and user experience.

A year in the making: Swiss expertise

The Nyffenegger webshop has been developed entirely in Switzerland, with our talented local team bringing the vision to life over a dedicated one-year development timeline. Throughout the process, we collaborated with our trusted experts from TecHUB Swiss, ensuring each technical aspect of the platform meets the highest standards of performance and security.

Key integrations for enhanced functionality

Nyffox has been developed with the future in mind and has several powerful integrations:

• iFAS ERP system: By linking with iFAS, we have enabled real-time price calculations tailored to each customer, providing them with an accurate cost breakdown each time they visit the website.
• myCONTENT PIM system: With this integration, Nyffox efficiently shows product data and catalogue structures, ensuring that customers are presented with seamless, consistent product information.
• Storyblok headless CMS: By integrating Storyblok, Nyffox benefits from a flexible and scalable content management system that improves the overall website experience.

Robust infrastructure for performance and scalability

Running on the powerful AWS Cloud infrastructure with Kubernetes (k8s) orchestration, Nyffox is designed to scale continuously with Nyffenegger’s growing business needs. The system’s robust cloud architecture ensures the platform is fast, secure, and able to handle large volumes of traffic and transactions. The well-architected infrastructure, using AWS Control Tower, AWS CloudFront, and AI-based tooling like GuardDuty, ensures reliability and security. The infrastructure is fully implemented following the IaC (Infrastructure as Code) principle using Terraform and GitOps.
