  • Ensuring the shop solution is easily expandable to quickly and seamlessly deliver additional value to members through new features and services.
  • Creating a unified shopping experience tailored to different markets and legal requirements.
The result
  • Implementing a unified shop platform solution with a modular and scalable architecture, simplifying system migration and providing a flexible basis for future expansions and adaptions.
  • Delivering a shop platform that offers a new and modern shopping experience optimized for the needs of Soennecken members and their end customers.
