The Brief

Dune London has consistently provided customers with a first-class in-store experience across the years. But with with more and more of their customers shopping online, the retailer decided it was time to step-up and deliver a new website that could better reflect the brand, as well as deliver an intuitive and smooth online user experience.

Dune London’s previous ecommerce platform was restricting their ability to innovate and adapt to changing customer expectations online as all enhancements or changes required customised solutions. The outdated and limiting nature of the platform meant that the team spent a lot of time managing back-office administration and processes.

The retailer also wanted to expand and develop richer experiences for customers across the globe, but international expansion was difficult without additional development time, resource and cost.

The solution

Dune London partnered with Tryzens to relaunch its ecommerce site and provide customers with a more immersive and enjoyable shopping journey. With the power of Salesforce Commerce Cloud’s native functionality and flexibility to integrate with leading technologies, Dune London have been able to innovate and deliver seamless experiences that truly reflects the iconic brand, regardless of where the customer is or what device they are using. The team at Dune London also have the flexibility to develop rich and engaging content without the burden of development costs and complicated backend processes. Technology like Salesforce Einstein, a built-in AI capability, has enabled the retailer to evolve its digital strategy in line with growing industry trends and offer targeted and personalised experiences on the site, all while reducing manual administration for the team.

Key integrations

“With over 45 years in the footwear trade, I have observed time and time again the need to be looking ahead at ways to adapt and grow whilst staying true to your quality promise. This partnership with Tryzens to deliver our new digital flagship is exactly the right balance of growing into the future, with an agile and scalable platform, whilst allowing us to develop our ability to provide customisable and world-leading customer experiences.“
