Pentland Firth spoke to shoppers in 12 languages and simplified teamwork
The Whiz-Cart, a smart shopping cart by German software company Pentland Firth, lets customers check out quickly without repacking or waiting, making the shopping experience faster and more user-friendly in 200+ stores across four countries.
The Challenge
Whiz-Cart was initially supported only in English, but the company wanted customers to enjoy the cart in their preferred language and prepare for cross-country launches. Without a unified localization system, the team members had to merge code manually in Visual Studio, compare English with other languages, and update translations by hand, which was time-consuming and prone to conflicts and inefficiencies.
The Solution
Pentland Firth built and perfected their translation workflow using Localazy. Developers now push the latest code to the platform, where translators are notified to start immediately. Once translations are finished, the updated content is reintegrated and tested before release, ensuring accuracy across all interfaces and related projects. For new languages, the team relies on Localazy’s professional services. CLI and Webhooks keep everything in sync, making multilingual updates fast and hassle-free.
The Result
Using Localazy, Pentland Firth successfully scaled their Whiz-Cart platform into 12 languages, starting with German and following with Scandinavian languages, Polish, and Dutch. The Whiz-Cart is currently available in countries like Thailand, the USA, and Romania, with product information being updated quickly for a better customer experience and new languages being added continuously depending on client needs.
