Client Overview
Our client, a well-established fashion retailer with popular brick-and-mortar stores across major cities, was loved locally but had limited digital presence. Realizing the need to reach a wider audience, the retailer sought a partner to guide their digital transformation and position them for global online success.
Creating a Digital Presence to Facilitate the Global Customer Base
With the fourth generation handling the reins, the business wanted to recreate the same royal Indian ethnic feeling within the shopping experience.
They required a platform that was reliable, could easily scale, and could cater to audiences in more than 100 countries.
Consultation Phase
Our consultation with the client was critical in aligning their vision with a feasible, high-impact digital strategy. In this phase, we:
Identified Core Goals and Challenges: We started by exploring the client’s main objectives and challenges, from creating a digital presence to competing with global brands. We mapped out their existing infrastructure and uncovered scalability and digital catalog management issues.
Conducted Market and Competitor Analysis: We performed in-depth research on competitors, market trends, and customer expectations to tailor the approach specifically for the fashion industry.
Recommended Technology Stack and Digital Roadmap: After evaluating the client's goals, we recommended a scalable, cloud-based solution coupled with AI and data-driven personalization to optimize customer experience.
Defined Success Metrics: Together, we outlined KPIs, including increased site traffic, mobile app engagement, and improved operational efficiency, as benchmarks for assessing progress and impact.
Challenges
Through consultation, we discovered critical pain points that needed to be addressed in the solution design:
Limited Digital Infrastructure: With no eCommerce website or mobile app, the client lacked a digital platform for customer engagement and online sales.
Scalability Needs: The client’s existing infrastructure couldn’t handle high traffic or international scaling.
Catalog Management Complexity: Managing a diverse and seasonal catalog required a solution that could automate updates across platforms.
Personalization: Creating a competitive advantage would require personalized experiences tailored to customer preferences.
