Customers daily place a great number of very different orders, which are all handled manually, so Aktiv Guld has been very busy. And since the company via a high level of service and daily delivery also serves as a stock for many watchmakers, goldsmiths, etc., Aktiv Guld has experienced an increase in daily placing of new orders to be handled. To continue to be able to provide the best service to its customers, Aktiv Guld has in cooperation with Hesehus developed an e-commerce solution which benefits both the customers as well as Aktiv Guld. The customer obtains more flexibility in terms of the time of placing the order with the option of placing standard orders via self-service, and Aktiv Guld is able to release resources for other tasks such as maintenance of product data and not least servicing of more complicated orders that require personal service.

The prices are for example calculated per gram, kilo and metre. The webshop also includes a number of custom-made products and the price depends on different variables specified by the customers. Finally, Aktiv Guld is selling a number of products that have a work price as well as a commodity price of which the latter is updated daily and this is also handled in the webshop.
