Groheshop
Professional tools online - Italy's first Shopware 6 Enterprise Shop
Grohe is a leading wholesale distributor for professional craftsmen's supplies in South Tyrol and all of Italy for four generations. From products to services, the company is always striving to offer its customers the best possible service in all areas. Therefore, Grohe has completely redeveloped the already successful online shop and equipped it with even more customer-oriented features - in the well-known Grohe service quality appreciated by many loyal customers.
Facts at a Glance
The new shop was developed as the first shop in Italy on a Shopware6 Enterprise License – including Shopware's powerful B2B suite. Approximately 50% of the shop is implemented in the Shopware standard. More than half of the functions were customized to Grohe's specific circumstances and requirements and specially programmed for Grohe. The focus was on shop performance: The page speed has been optimized despite the large number of products through special caching, continuous generation of WebP images, and other measures.
Grohe customers have always been accustomed to a uniform categorization of products. This allows them to find their way quickly and easily both in the print catalog and in the local store in Bruneck. The online shop adopted the same product categories, color-coded them, and combined them into suitable product groups – creating a uniform and consistent customer experience across all channels.
