Why Drupal was chosen:
Nihon Kohden has adopted Drupal as its content management system for operating its sales company websites in regions such as Europe and Asia. It's essential for the sales company websites to seamlessly, securely, rapidly, and reliably deliver regional activities as well as information from the head office in Japan. Drupal was chosen as the CMS platform to realize these objectives and to contribute to further increasing recognition among site users and expanding customer touchpoints.
Describe the project (goals, requirements and outcome):
Multi-site Management
Thanks to Drupal's multi-site functionality, multiple sales company websites with different domains are operated on a single Drupal installation on the same platform. While each sales company uses the same platform and CMS functions, this system allows them to independently manage their content specific to each sales company.
Multilingual Support
Utilizing Drupal's multilingual capabilities, the system supports site displays in numerous languages, including English, French, German, Spanish, and Korean.
Improvement of user navigation paths
To ensure users can smoothly access the information they need, the navigation path for product information searches has been revised to enhance searchability. Users can now search for product information using keywords or categories with various parameters, and it's been made easier to view related products and information from the product pages.
Key modules/theme/distribution used:
・Paragraphs
By implementing defined design components using Paragraphs, content creators are now able to efficiently create pages by selecting the necessary design components during content production.
・COOKiES
The functionality to obtain cookie consent from site visitors has been realized by utilizing the COOKiES module. It ensures that consent is confirmed for the scope of cookie use with site visitors and that cookies are used based on the agreed terms.
