Our Online Shop Shines in New Splendor
We are pleased to present a comprehensive modernization of our online shop today. Over the past few months, we have worked intensively to elevate your shopping experience to a new level. The result is a platform that is not only technically up-to-date but also impresses with new features that significantly simplify product purchasing and technical research. At the same time, everything remains in its familiar place, so you won't have to adjust to a new layout.
Product Presentation in 3D and Augmented Reality
One of the biggest new features is the 3D and AR view. Products can now be viewed three-dimensionally, rotated, and analyzed from various perspectives directly in the online shop. The AR integration offers even more practical relevance: with just a few clicks, products can be virtually placed in your own space to realistically assess size, shape, and fit (provided you have a suitable mobile phone).
We have also integrated a special service for engineers and designers. The 3D models are available for download in two common formats. The STP format allows for direct further processing in CAD systems, while the GLB format is ideal for visualizations and presentations. This allows you to seamlessly integrate our components into your own construction projects and save time during planning.
Navigation Made Easy: The New Mega Menu
We have revised the navigation in our shop. The new mega menu guides you to your destination with just a few clicks. It is designed so that you can grasp the entire product variety at a glance without losing the overview. Large, clear sections and a clean structure ensure that you find the products and information you need faster than ever – a real relief, especially with such a wide range of products.
Noticeably Faster and More Modern
The technical foundation of our shop has been comprehensively modernized. Pages load faster, page transitions are smooth, and subtle animations provide quick visual feedback. This not only ensures a more pleasant shopping experience but also increases efficiency in daily work.
Simplified Processing for Educational and Research Institutions
For universities, colleges, and Fraunhofer Institutes, we have significantly simplified the ordering process. During registration, our system automatically recognizes when you sign up with an email address from one of these institutions. The "Purchase on Invoice" payment option is then immediately activated, without you having to wait for manual approval. This automation accelerates your procurement processes and allows you to get started without complications.
Flexible Invoice Delivery
Many of our business customers have expressed the wish to have invoices sent to a different email address than the one used for registration. We are happy to accommodate this request. You can specify a different email address for invoice delivery during registration. This is particularly practical if invoices should go directly to your accounting department or a central inbox, while you yourself place the orders.
Technical Information Now Also in English
To better support international teams, technical explanations, specifications, and application examples are now also available in English.
Tried and True Features Remain
Despite all the innovations, it was important to us that you, as an existing customer, can seamlessly pick up where you left off. Your complete order history has been transferred to the new shop. You can therefore track which products you ordered and when, and place a reorder with a single click. Naturally, your encrypted login data has also been securely migrated to the new environment, allowing you to log in immediately with your familiar credentials without re-entering passwords.
We warmly invite you to discover the various improvements for yourself and look forward to your orders in our modernized online shop.
