An Outdated System That Puts Customer Satisfaction in Jeopardy

Previously relying on a self-developed e-commerce system, Löffelhardt’s online store suffered constant outages and was limited in terms of features. The antiquated system also offered a poor search function, making it challenging for customers to find the right products—which greatly affected customer satisfaction.

With the goal of supporting all B2B industry-standard interfaces for connecting customer systems, they set out in search of a flexible e-commerce solution that would enable them to easily integrate new APIs and improve time-to-market. They also prioritized:

  • A modular architecture to support business growth and evolving requirements
  • Seamless integration with existing enterprise systems and third-party solutions
  • A robust platform capable of handling high data volumes and traffic efficiently
  • Adaptability to industry-specific needs without excessive development effort
  • A reliable partner offering continuous innovation, updates, and expert support
