The project
The collaboration between Gina Tricot and CAG Ateles started already in 2009 when Gina Tricot chose to set up a platform for e-commerce. The goal was then to develop a solution that not only was a sales channel to customers but also automated internal processes through integrations with the business and logistics systems.
By the end of 2017, Gina Tricot chose to further digitalize their commerce. In this new project, CAG Ateles works with business development of Unified Commerce in order to increase digital presence and sales. The long-term goal is to digitize Gina Tricot's physical stores to create a unified customer experience regardless of sales channel, whether it's in store, online, mobile or in social media.
The solution
CAG Ateles initially delivered a flexible and scalable solution based on Elastic Path with integration to business systems and all surrounding support systems. CAG Ateles also developed an integrated CMS in Pimcore so that the content of e-commerce could easily be updated. Initially, e-commerce was launched to the Nordic countries according to schedule in April 2010. Until 2017, the solution has been implemented on 28 markets.
As the online department at Gina Tricot was limited, focus was on automating processes and integrating all systems to avoid manual work. Since the first launch, the online store has been constantly changing with added functionality that further increased sales and automated processes.
“E-commerce, omni-channel and digitization have never been more important than we currently have at Gina Tricot, and therefore we put great value in working with the right partners. CAG Ateles has been our strategic partner since 2009, and over the years we have expanded our e-commerce to 28 markets and developed the majority of omnichannel solutions that integrate our sales channels. This has been made possible thanks to the fact that CAG Ateles is an extremely dedicated and flexible supplier that can handle tight time frames and always delivers good quality.”
