Möbel Boss: From Legacy to Future-Ready with Commercetools

Situation & Vision

Möbel Boss has experienced significant eCommerce growth in recent years. However, their previous platform, SAP Commerce with a SAP Spartacus storefront, reached the end of its licensing model. This posed a strategic challenge: how to ensure technological independence while maximizing flexibility for future innovations. Collaborating with foobar Agency and building upon the technological foundation established during porta Möbel's replatforming, Möbel Boss embarked on a comprehensive journey to transition to Commercetools, supported by a custom-designed storefront. This decision marked a pivotal step in transitioning to a future-ready, scalable architecture.

The primary objective was to migrate Möbel Boss to a unified platform built on Commercetools, Contentful, Google Vertex AI, and other cutting-edge tools. This move would replace the legacy stack, streamline operations, and position the brand for long-term growth.

Our approach

Through agile processes and close coordination, foobar Agency played a critical role in implementing a comprehensive solution for Möbel Boss by building upon the platform established by their sister company. Key steps included:

Platform Validation and Extension: The existing platform's multi-tenant capabilities were rigorously tested to ensure scalability and reliability. Specific processes and features unique to Möbel Boss, such as specialized delivery methods and order splitting, were seamlessly integrated.
Developing a Custom Storefront: Tailored to Möbel Boss’ requirements, the storefront delivers high performance, a modern design, and an enhanced user experience.
Building a MACH-Based Architecture: Designed for scalability and flexibility, this architecture supports omnichannel components such as in-store kiosks and mobile apps.
Strategic Planning and Execution: A detailed roadmap was created, outlining milestones to ensure a swift and agile implementation. The project was completed on time and within the pre-defined budget, successfully going live ahead of Black Friday 2024.
Close Collaboration: Frequent alignment sessions ensured seamless communication and allowed for iterative improvements throughout the process.

Conclusion and outlook

The successful implementation delivered tangible benefits. By building upon the multi-tenant platform established by their sister company, Möbel Boss achieved a tailored solution that aligned perfectly with its strategic goals. The result was a seamless integration of new capabilities and a significant performance boost, with faster load times enhancing user satisfaction.

The project’s MACH-based architecture positioned Möbel Boss as future-ready, seamlessly integrating omnichannel features. This flexibility enables the company to adapt to evolving customer demands and technological advancements. Additionally, by leveraging synergies with their sister company, Möbel Boss achieved operational efficiency gains, significantly reducing long-term costs and delivering an optimized resource model.

Completed on time and within the fixed budget, this project demonstrates how meticulous planning and agile execution can deliver a cutting-edge platform that drives both immediate results and long-term growth.

This project underscores the power of innovative technology and a partnership-driven approach. Möbel Boss now operates on a cutting-edge platform that not only supports its current success but also lays the foundation for continued innovation and scalability in the dynamic eCommerce landscape.
