No meeting marathon:
Webshop planning with just two workshops
Our project team records your requirements and processes in just 2 workshops. A meeting marathon lasting several weeks is no longer necessary.
Workshop 1:
Requirements, functions & processes
- Goal
The aim of the first workshop is to gain an overview of the goals you are pursuing with the web shop and your internal processes. We also document your functional requirements for the web shop and determine the necessary interfaces.
During the workshop, we define clear to-do's that you can prepare and clarify internally before the next workshop. Everything discussed in the workshop is documented in our collaboration tool. After the workshop, you will receive access.

- Project management webshop, IT, sales, marketing, product data maintenance / merchandise management

Workshop 2:
Data model & interfaces
- Goal
The aim of the second workshop is to compile the findings from the first workshop into a data model and to discuss the necessary interfaces.

- Project management webshop, IT, sales, product data maintenance/merchandise management, data maintenance merchandise management internally or service provider
ECOPLAN / Partner:

- Preparation
The preparation time for this second workshop is based on your to-do's from the first workshop. These are individual for each company. We clearly define the tasks so that you can clarify them internally and, if necessary, divide them up between the respective departments. There should be approx. 3 weeks between the first and second workshop so that there is sufficient preparation time for the follow-up workshop.
- Procedure
The following topics will be discussed in the workshop:
approx. 08:15 am to 12:30 pm
Clarification of the tasks from workshop 1
Discussion of the data model
Interfaces

Discussion of data imports & live interfaces
Hosting
Training location / premises
You have the choice: The workshops can take place as an online meeting via Microsoft Teams. In this case, each participant should take part from their own PC to ensure good acoustics. We have already conducted many smooth workshops online. Alternatively, the workshops can also be held at your premises.
Method / Procedure
We work according to the unique avanta Go! method. We have a structured approach with which we document your requirements, functions and processes and define your interfaces and data models during the workshops using a ready-made template. This allows us to reach our goal quickly and cost-effectively after just two workshops without a weekly meeting marathon.
Important details and queries can be clarified flexibly between the two workshops if required.
As we have been focusing on B2B sales processes for over 25 years, we have the relevant expertise and do not need any time-consuming explanations.
What happens after the workshops
After the workshops, we are able to specify the first rough cost indication. You will then receive an updated cost breakdown.
You can then decide whether you want to implement the webshop with ECOPLAN. You will receive our contract.
