The renowned Czech retail chain https://www.comfor.cz/, comparable to Saturn in Germany, has successfully migrated its online store to the modern Smartstore platform in order to meet the requirements of its growing e-commerce business. The previous e-shop, which had been based on Kentico version 9 since 2017, was increasingly reaching its limits - both in terms of performance and daily administration. The migration to Smartstore marks a strategic step towards better serving customer needs and sustainably improving the digital experience.
With Smartstore, COMFOR benefits from a number of key advantages:
- Increased speed and stability: the new platform allows COMFOR to efficiently serve thousands of simultaneous visitors, which is particularly important during peak periods and promotions. Speed and stability are key factors in ensuring a smooth and positive shopping experience for customers.
- Modularity and flexibility: Thanks to its modular architecture, Smartstore offers the option of flexibly expanding the e-shop. This means that the system can be adapted to new market requirements or specific customer requests at any time without compromising performance. The modularity ensures that functions can be added or changed as required - an important prerequisite in a dynamic environment such as e-commerce.
- Optimized administration: The clear separation of frontend and backend according to the headless principle makes store administration much easier. Employees can complete administrative tasks faster and more intuitively, while the stability and independence of both areas remains guaranteed. This not only saves time, but also increases efficiency.
- Improved search function and user experience: The powerful search algorithm makes it possible to search through up to 10,000 products in just a few milliseconds. Customers find what they are looking for more quickly, which increases satisfaction and makes shopping easier. The fast and precise product search is an essential part of a good online shopping experience and strengthens customer loyalty.
- Maximum scalability and future-proofing: Smartstore relies on Docker containers, which enable a flexible and scalable architecture. This means that the e-shop can easily grow in line with increasing visitor numbers without sacrificing performance. For a growth-oriented company like COMFOR, this not only means high resilience, but also future-proofing.
The migration to Smartstore is a clear commitment by COMFOR to offer its customers a high-quality and modern shopping experience. By choosing this open source platform, the online store will remain flexible and adaptable in the future. The decision to use Smartstore was a forward-looking step that will enable COMFOR to successfully meet the fast-moving and dynamic demands of e-commerce and continue to be a reliable partner for its customers.
