The project at a glance
In today’s fast-changing retail environment, major brands are rethinking their distribution processes and transitioning to a more agile, personalized, omnichannel experience. 
Against this backdrop, Bongénie Grieder turned to Hardis Group to help it accelerate its shift to an omnichannel e-commerce model via a far-reaching project with the following aims: 
  • Offer a seamless and increasingly personalized customer experience
  • Unlock data and build a more agile ecosystem
  • Ensure teams on the ground play a full role in the omnichannel model

Hardis Group gave senior managers across our various departments a comprehensive overview. With the key business and technical projects identified, it made it easier to see what changes we needed to make to achieve our priorities. Hardis Group also helped us create a resource we use to secure buy-in across our workforce.

Their expert business advice, pragmatic approach and deep knowledge of IT/e-commerce were key aspects of the support they provided.
