THE CHALLENGE
Delifrance has a decorated name in the region and as its customer base expanded and grew, the brand wanted to migrate to the Shopify Plus enterprise commerce platform to leverage its high-scale features and capabilities and offer personalized experiences to its customers. Delifrance wanted a flexible, scalable, and fast to launch eCommerce platform that could assist their ever-evolving customer needs and help deliver better shopping experiences. Their operations team wanted to build an intuitive and user-friendly admin interface that can seamlessly integrate with competitive third-party systems and applications and boost overall brand-customer interaction and loyalty.
THE GOAL
Delifrance wanted to migrate from Shopify to Shopify Plus enterprise commerce solution and build an omnichannel system that supports customer journeys across the growing touchpoints.
