Challenge

Offline meets online – and analog becomes digital

The timber industry remains largely analog in many areas – orders, cutting requests, and consultations are still often handled via phone, email, or in person. J. u. A. Frischeis recognized early on that this traditional approach no longer meets the rising expectations of modern B2B and B2C customers.The goal was to develop a central digital platform that would streamline internal workflows while making the company’s extensive portfolio of over 25,000 products easily accessible – clearly structured, always up to date, and user-friendly across all channels, target groups, and devices.The key challenge was to build a Digital Experience Platform (DXP) capable of addressing the complex needs of sales, marketing, and logistics – for more than 15,000 registered users, diverse customer segments, and international markets. This required a robust technological foundation, a flexible data structure, and a consistently user-centric approach.
