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.”

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.
