Dr. Ziegler: connecting JTL-Shop, the Swiss market and reliable shipping processes

This project shows why shop, ERP, internationalisation and shipping processes need to be planned together when an existing JTL setup is expanded into new markets and operational workflows.

Dr. Ziegler – JTL project exampleProject example

Dr. Ziegler

Dr. Ziegler Naturfutter GmbH is a commerce business with an existing JTL-Wawi and JTL-Shop setup. The assessed material documents a Swiss shop, multilingual implementation, FFN integration and a storebox REST API connection.

In short

What was solved for Dr. Ziegler

In short: what was solved, how RIS helped and why it matters in daily operations.

Starting point

An international JTL shop needed to connect Wawi, shipping, fulfilment and a multilingual market presence reliably.

Solution

RIS connected shop, Wawi, shipping processes and integrations into a coherent operating setup.

Result

The reference shows how international commerce processes work better when they are treated as one system.

Why RIS

RIS is strong when shop, ERP, integrations and operational processes must be understood together.

Reference setup

What was the most valuable contribution?

Most valuable contribution: making complex JTL-related operations manageable for growth and international workflows.

What the project shows

What RIS solved particularly well

This section explains the practical difference RIS made for the customer.

Warehouse planning & zones

RIS makes warehouse zones, warehouse areas, temperature and shipping requirements, and operational routes visible as a planning basis.

Picking methods

The key question is which picking method fits assortment, shipping model and throughput.

Frozen and standard shipping

The value lies in connecting Wawi, warehouse, shipping logic and practical execution for different shipping requirements.

Route optimisation

Short routes, clear zones and suitable workflows reduce friction in the warehouse and improve scalability.

Case study

This case study focuses on concrete work and outcomes and deliberately avoids invented metrics, ROI figures or customer quotes.

Starting point

  • JTL-Wawi and an existing JTL-Shop were already part of the system landscape.
  • A dedicated JTL-Shop for the Swiss market was considered.
  • FFN and storebox integration were documented topics for shipping and fulfilment processes.

Challenges

  • Dedicated Swiss shop with currency, shipping and tax setup.
  • Multilingual frontend: German, English, French, Portuguese and Italian.
  • Connection to the JTL Fulfillment Network.
  • Integration of the storebox REST API via a polling client.
  • Automated print-output workflow after polling feedback.

Implementation

  • Shop installation and base configuration for the Swiss market were prepared or estimated.
  • Template implementation aligned with the existing .com shop was described as target scope.
  • Product and category transfer was included in the project scope.
  • A polling client for the storebox REST API was specified.
  • Processing feedback and triggering the print-output workflow were documented technical objectives.

Technical focus

  • JTL-Shop
  • JTL-Wawi
  • JTL Fulfillment Network / FFN
  • Multilingual setup
  • storebox REST API
  • Polling client
  • Shipping processes
  • Print-output workflow

Ongoing support

  • Support and follow-up tasks are documented in Projektkommunikation snapshots, including shop operations, Wawi access, invoice data and shop functions.
  • The project work indicates several project and support tracks rather than a one-off implementation.

Result

  • There is verifiable project evidence for internationalisation, fulfilment and shipping-process integration.
  • RIS can credibly position this as shop, Wawi, interface and operational shipping-process work – without invented metrics or quotes.
Next step

Planning internationalisation or shipping processes?

When JTL-Shop, Wawi, fulfilment, country logic and shipping processes need to work together, a clean technical and operational review is worthwhile.

Every project is individual. The results shown relate to Dr. Ziegler, the specific system landscape and the agreed requirements.
