the
challenge

Danone needed to augment existing experience platforms – which already had an essential role in the customer journey of the Danone brands - with e-commerce functionality, in a smooth and seamless way. They had to be able to scale fast with as little tailoring as possible.

technology
& tools

The platform is based on infrastructure in Amazon Web Services. It uses the MACH-solution commercetools as primary e-commerce engine, connected to centrally maintained sources such as PIM, DAM and ERP. Of course, the landscape foresees connections to necessary tools like payment providers and shipping/warehouse solutions. The total architecture is meant to be ready-to-use and unlocks integrated headless e-commerce possibilities for new markets.

working together

Together with Danone, Lab Digital created a collaborative atmosphere that enabled us to combine steady and high-quality technical development with an end-user-focused experience while doing fast rollouts in a large and international environment. We began with a thorough discovery phase up front to define the technical strategy and investigate the most suitable solutions to composing a modern headless landscape. The platform's initial development, rollouts and maintenance were taken care of by a multi-disciplinary development team in close cooperation with Danone.
