They’re stores include household Salling Group chain brands such as fotex, Bilka, Netto, Salling and Wupti, as well as Starbucks and Carl’s Jr. franchises in Denmark, and more than 1,400 stores and web shops in Founded: 1906 Poland and Germany. Headquarters: Brabrand, Denmark The challenge Salling Group began to realize they needed to Industry: Retail strengthen their omnichannel experience, which Revenue: 9 billon USD required technology that would serve their customers across all digital channels. Furthermore, it was clear that Employees: 50,000 their existing SAP Hybris setup was not scalable in terms of cost efficiency and recruiting talent. Partner: In-house The solution Salling Group implemented a new tech stack with commercetools’ headless commerce architecture at its core, and based on modern UX designs with a mobile- first mindset. Headless CMS (Magnolia), microservices, APIs and Jamstack to replace the monolithic platform. The result The solution brought time-to-market for their new web shops down to a two-month lead time and lowered eCommerce costs by 75%. It also enabled each brand to customize their online shop and content, while still working under the same technology. Additionally, release cycles increased from once every other week to multiple times per day. Salling Group refreshes its eCommerce Breaking free from the monolith In 2013, when Salling Group made the decision to re-platform their digital stores, they went with the obvious choice at the time: SAP Hybris. But seven years is a long time in an industry that seemingly has daily breakthroughs, and what appears shiny and new at the beginning can become cumbersome and outdated in no time at all. As the biggest retail chain in Denmark with many different brands under their wing, it was imperative for Salling Group to be scalable and cost-efficient, and their old monolithic platform could not keep up. They had the option to either “We strive for a simple and modern upgrade or re-platform completely, but the omnichannel shopping experience, built on previous web shop installations cost too much headless principles and microservices, which in licenses and maintenance.

  • The Rise of Late-Stage Funding for European Technology Scale-Ups
    Blooming Late: The rise of late-stage funding for European technology scale-ups NOVEMBER 2019 Introduction Europe’s technology industry continues to grow up. Across the EU, Israel, Russia and Turkey, startup ecosystems are flourishing, expanding and - in a few places - maturing into veritable world-class hotbeds for innovation. Evidently, challenges remain and Europe will have to overcome many of them to even have a chance of staying competitive in an ever-evolving world - and with haste to boot. To continue scaling up and accelerate the maturation process of its key tech hubs, Europe has to play to its strengths and eliminate some of its inherent weaknesses to mitigate the risk of getting left behind. Two of these weaknesses have historically been the lack of major exits and late-stage financing rounds (€100 million and more) for Europe’s fastest-growing tech businesses as catalysts for growth. As we’ve detailed in previous reports on the influx of capital for Europe’s finest tech startups, there has been a tremendous increase in investment volume for early-stage and growth-stage companies in recent years, with no signs of a slowdown so far. Numbers only tell part of a story, but the rise in seed and growth capital (Series A-B-C) flowing to European tech businesses across the region paints a picture of a healthy collection of ecosystems with potential for further growth. But when it comes to really big rounds of financing, Europe hasn’t really seen many of those to date, certainly not in comparison to the US and, increasingly, China.

  • How Digital Transformation Is Reshaping the Global Fashion Industry
    Trending this season: How Digital Transformation Is Reshaping the Global Fashion Industry www.commercetools.com Executive Summary When it comes to online revenue share, the global fashion business takes the pole position. The growth of mobile commerce, as well as social media, translate both into new revenue streams but also into challenges which have to be met. This white paper talks about how well-known brands and retailers tackle things like brand experience, assortment, and scalability and how they leverage cloud infrastructure and in-house technical know-how to adapt to these changing conditions. Introduction According to McKinsey’s 2018 State of Fashion report1, “The total sales of the traditional fashion sector have grown by more than 20 percent over the last three years”. Every year, the fashion industry, ranging from retailers to luxury brands, drives a significant profit to the global economy. It is one of the biggest, yet most challenging industries impacted by hundreds of factors, including economic uncertainties as well as digital transformation. Digital transformation in the fashion industry brings a lot to the table, but if ignored, it can unravel everything else. In response to this digital wave, many fashion brands are now under pressure to innovate while at the same time being cost-conscious. Brands have started to improve their speed to market and to innovate and automate their core product design, manufacturing, and overall supply chain process. The need to embrace digital transformation is a need of time for them. Why? Because consumers’ expectations are now at the highest level. They are no longer content with the simple purchase transaction; they want to have an experience attached to it, and the credit goes to digital technologies they are exposed to.

The cloud-native platform enables brands and retailers to build innovative shopping experiences across all touchpoints like web, mobile, voice, and in-car. www.commercetools.com Introduction When the automobile was invented at the end of the 19th century, it was basically meant to serve as a substitute for horses and carriages. With the help of a combustion engine, an array of knobs, switches, and a steering wheel, drivers could drive their vehicle around, carrying other passengers and goods. Now, imagine if a time machine could bring Karl Benz, Gottlieb Daimler, and Henry Ford to our time, what would they see? Electric cars are becoming more popular, instead of complex combustion engines, those cars only need simple electric motors. Cars are connected to the internet, which allows them to get automated updates and have drivers and passengers enjoy all The eCommerce kinds of entertainment. Oh, and no more knobs needed: people just use their voice to play a new song, look for the next service station, pre-order a cup of cofee or make dinner reservations. And in a not-so-soon future, Solution for vehicles drive autonomously, so no human drivers are needed. For sure, things have changed a lot.
