Challenge

As part of its digitization initiative, the Krombacher Brewery Group wanted a white label-capable e-commerce solution. This needed to be integrated into the Krombacher digital platform, where it would replace an existing online store. In addition to implementing the e-commerce framework based on Pimcore, the task was to use interfaces to integrate both the payment service provider and the fulfillment service provider, Avarto Bertelsmann. After the launch, Basilicom was also tasked with optimizing the store’s visibility and performance with a comprehensive initiative using search engine marketing (SEA) and social media advertising (SMA).

Solution

To create the Krombacher fan store, Basilicom was able to draw on a number of existing assets. For example, in the course of developing a digital experience platform for Krombacher, we had already implemented a white label-capable content management system (CMS) with a design system based on Atomic Design. Its module library now enabled us to use numerous frontend modules and efficiently add new store modules as required. We had also already implemented a product information management system (PIM) and connected it to the merchandise management system. This meant that the product master data for the fan shop was already available in the system and could be directly supplemented with marketing content. In addition, digital asset management (DAM) enables easy maintenance and management of all product assets. Finally, the implementation of a comprehensive e-commerce tracking system became the basis for a post-launch performance marketing initiative.

Results

With the new fan store and the e-commerce framework’s integration into the digital platform, we created a true brand asset for Krombacher. By purchasing products in the Krombacher Fan Shop, the brewery’s customers can express their brand loyalty. And they do — the digital shopping experience, seamlessly embedded in the brewery's digital brand world, has been extremely well-received. In its first year alone, the store saw sales increase by over 60 percent. The conversion rate of 7 percent further demonstrates how attractive the offers are for the brewery's site visitors. In addition, successful search engine marketing and social media advertising show that the store is ideally suited as the first digital touchpoint of a Krombacher Brewery digital brand experience.
