Overview
Zarc International, Inc.™, the leading manufacturer of pepper sprays in the USA, has been at the forefront of personal and professional defense products for nearly four decades. Renowned for their exceptional quality, Zarc’s products are the first choice for law enforcement and military agencies across the U.S. and worldwide. With a vision to further enhance their market presence, Zarc International partnered with Biztech to establish a groundbreaking eCommerce platform, built on the innovative Odoo 15 framework.
Leveraging the strengths of Odoo 15, our expert developers curated an interactive, user-centric eCommerce platform that effectively highlighted Zarc’s product offerings. The newly built frontend is engaging, designed to deliver a seamless and intuitive user experience, while the backend is tailored to be effortlessly integrated with other applications, ensuring streamlined operations. Recognizing the need for staying ahead in the rapidly evolving digital landscape, Biztech facilitated a seamless migration of Zarc’s eCommerce store to the more advanced Odoo 16. This strategic transition not only fortified the website’s robustness but also prepared it for future scalability.

Words That Make an Impact
I had long been researching new ERP systems and ultimately decided to go with Odoo. I will say that I was impressed from the first inquiry I made with Biztech. It was a Saturday when I sent the request and within an hour, I had a call from them.
This has been a big project for me and the help and resources that I have received from Biztech have been invaluable. Their developers know Odoo very well and have produced great designs and solutions. What takes me a lot of time to try and figure out, they can give me an answer very quickly. This project has been a learning experience for me and I thank Biztech for their assistance.
