NEW BRAND IMAGE & SHOPWARE 6 RELAUNCH 

The relaunch of the RIANI fashion online shop from Shopware 5 to Shopware 6 was meant to be more than just a technical update. With a fresher look & feel, the brand aimed to reposition itself. In the fashion industry, where multiple collections are launched each year, a flexible, high-performance, and easy-to-manage shop system is essential. It enables fast product launches, targeted campaign execution, and an inspiring shopping experience for customers.

CHALLENGES

TIME TO MARKET AFTER TAKING OVER THE SHOPWARE 6 PROJECT


The project was taken over from another agency while already in progress, as it had stalled. With only five months remaining until the scheduled go-live, achieving this ambitious time to market required a well-structured and highly experienced project team.

  • Project takeover during ongoing operation
  • Short Time to Market: 5 months from takeover to GoLive
  • High-quality shop design to meet the premium standards of the RIANI brand
  • Technical optimizations, such as the synchronization of returns from the ERP system to leverage Shopware’s standard features
  • Optimized returns management, e.g., through discounts on returns within the Shopware standard
  • Technical optimization of content and commerce elements like Shop the Look
OUR APPROACH

PREMIUM PERFORMANCE WITH SHOPWARE 6


The original RIANI online store was based on Shopware 5, an outdated technology, whose support will be discontinued in July 2024. After that, security updates or bug fixes would no longer be guaranteed. For operators of Shopware 5 stores, migrating to a new platform like Shopware 6 became essential.

A Shopware 6 online store represents the combination of technological innovation, flexibility, and user-friendliness that makes brands digitally successful:

  • Future-Proof & Scalable: Cloud and headless commerce options provide maximum scalability.
  • Performance & Internationalization: Optimized loading times and performance for a seamless shopping experience.
  • Multi-language and multi-currency features simplify international trade.

The fashion industry is characterized by fast cycles and seasonal collections. Several times a year, new products need to be seamlessly integrated into the online store, campaigns must be flexibly launched, and changing assortments must be presented optimally. A powerful e-commerce system like Shopware 6 is therefore essential to ensure agility, scalability, and an inspiring shopping experience.
