Snapshot
Background
Challenge
Replatforming to the B2B Suite of Spryker Commerce OS was primarily associated with the following four digital objectives for SLV:
We were particularly impressed by Spryker's B2B feature set and the modular system architecture, which together enable flexible development and a strong focus on B2B customers.

Solution
Technical light or emotional light, controllable or static. All these aspects are easily selectable for SLV customers via an optimised UX in the shop. Yet the scope of the company is complex. SLV sells more than 7,000 products online, which have up to 500 attributes, and thus have a complex product logic and hierarchy among each other. At the same time, the lighting expert serves 15 shops in 11 different markets and national languages. All shops are connected via the Spryker Multi-Store functionality.
Due to the solid backend of the headless Spryker Commerce OS all shop front-ends as well as external systems like Akeneo’s PIM or a SAP integration for orders can be combined in one system. The B2B Suite equips SLV with the specific B2B features the company needs for personalized customer management.
We are now in a position to understand and implement digital value creation in a completely different way.

Results
SLV has succeeded in being the owner of a high-performance commerce technology with a convincing customer experience. Since the relaunch on Spryker, the number of visitors has doubled and all UX parameters have been significantly improved. An average session duration of well over 5 minutes, more than 10 pages per visit and a bounce rate of less than 30 percent are a clear expression of customer satisfaction.
But even more important for SLV is the fact that the digital maturity level of the organization has increased significantly. The lighting expert can now independently operate digital value creation and has thus achieved a sales growth of 45 percent in 2020. Thanks to Spryker’s modularity, the system’s maintenance requirements have nevertheless been greatly reduced, leaving more resources available for further development. The success story of SLV’s digital team is still at its beginning.
We had high expectations and one year after the relaunch we can say that we are ahead of plan on all the targets we set ourselves.
