RenewableEnergySolutions
The client is a leading provider of solar energy solutions catering to businesses and government agencies. Dedicated to offering top-notch products and services, the client champions the global adoption of renewable energy.
Facing rapid growth, the client recognized the need for a significant digital transformation to maintain momentum and profitability. A pivotal challenge was upgrading the digital customer experience by deploying a new e-commerce platform. However, they lacked insights into the customer journey, with critical touchpoints heavily reliant on poor-quality ERP data. The complexity of their product structure, data, and pricing model compounded the order process. Moreover, customers demanded precise delivery, which existing tools and processes could not support.
The digital transformation began by mapping the order flow, customer touchpoints, and data gaps affecting the customer journey. Quick, high-impact, low-effort enhancements were identified and executed to improve data quality and user experience. A definitive eCommerce strategy was established, recruiting key roles and forming a cross-functional product team of client employees and Netlight consultants. The team built and launched a robust B2B eCommerce platform, integrating crucial systems like content management, order management, and CRM. Post-launch, the team ensured ongoing, customer-focused development, continuously refining the experience to maximize sales.
Impact:
• Achieved rapid improvements in data quality across all areas of the order flow.
• Launched a new e-commerce site and customer portal delivering the desired user experience.
• Formed a cross-functional team to sustain high data quality, customer experience, and process alignment over the long term.

EnhancedCustomerExperience
The client is a prominent European consumer electronics retailer based in Ingolstadt, Germany. With over 1000 stores, the client provides online shopping services across 15 European countries.
The client aimed to introduce a fast delivery service within nine months to create new revenue streams, maintain competitiveness, and retain customers by offering deliveries within just 90 minutes. This required developing a comprehensive platform for the entire purchasing process, including product selection with delivery options, purchase transactions, doorstep delivery, and subsequent product returns.
Netlight assumed a leading role in product and engineering, guiding the client to integrate offline shops and warehouses with a rapid delivery service in their online platform. Collaborating closely with various teams across list/detail pages, checkout, and order management, we defined technical product specifications through extensive workshops. Our coordination on architectural design, particularly in representing the delivery service in stores, was crucial for establishing a development strategy. Consequently, we developed the product end-to-end to ensure a timely market launch.
Impact:
• Expanded the client's reach by enabling 1.4 million daily customer sessions and offering fast delivery for 500,000 technology products in Germany.
• Achieved high customer acceptance with approximately 400 daily deliveries in the launch month.
• Optimized the customer journey by delivering a comprehensive service from selecting delivery methods to product returns.

To address this, the client enlisted Netlight's support to leverage its proficiency in cutting-edge AI technologies and cloud infrastructure.
The challenge of enhancing the web shop's customer experience was addressed by utilizing Netlight's expertise to create a production-ready, multilingual chatbot.
