Client Overview:

A boutique fashion retailer with $12M in annual revenue and three physical locations specialized in curated contemporary women’s clothing and accessories. Serving style-conscious customers aged 25–45 in urban markets, the brand earned loyalty through exclusive pieces and personalized in-store styling services. However, with no digital footprint, they struggled to compete with fast fashion giants and suffered a 60% drop in sales during pandemic-related closures.

Limited reach, inventory inefficiencies, and missed opportunities for personalization threatened both profitability and brand identity. The client needed a solution that extended their boutique experience into a scalable digital model—without losing the intimacy that defined their brand.

“Reimagine boutique retail with an omnichannel platform that unifies inventory, personalizes service, and unlocks growth beyond the store floor.”
– Business Needs

Technical Contribution :

Implemented Salesforce Commerce Cloud to deliver a seamless, personalized shopping experience across physical and digital touchpoints, through:

  • Unified Inventory Management: Real-time syncing across all store locations, enabling BOPIS, ship-from-store, and “endless aisle” capabilities.
  • Personalized Shopping Experience: Rich customer profiles with purchase history, personalized product recommendations, wishlist features, back-in-stock alerts, and virtual styling consultation bookings.
  • Omnichannel Customer Journey: Seamless integration between online and in-store, mobile access for store associates, social commerce features, and early access to exclusive product drops for VIPs.

Benefits Deliver:

  • We significantly optimized our inventory management, leading to a 35% improvement in inventory turnover. This enhanced efficiency also resulted in markdown reductions of 28% due to more effective redistribution strategies. Furthermore, customer satisfaction and sales improved as stockouts dropped by 55% thanks to the implementation of endless aisle access.

  • Our focus on operational efficiency yielded substantial gains. Staff productivity saw a 25% improvement through the strategic deployment of mobile tools. The time spent on transferring inventory was drastically cut by 70%, streamlining our logistics. Crucially, these operational enhancements also enabled us to prevent lost sales, even during periods of temporary closures.
