Creating a scalable structure

What strategy should be followed to equip a young brand with a flexible and scalable structure both in Italy and abroad? This is the scenario that Retail Reply addressed in the digital transformation project of Primadonna, an Italian fashion company. To make its entrance in the fast fashion world, Primadonna needed to expand its digital channels, at first only based on a few social pages to communicate with customers, and implement innovative products and services that can offer consumers an experience in line with their expectations.

Primadonna, thanks to Retail Reply’s work, was awarded first prize in the Digital retailing and Omnichannel category at the eighth edition of Netcomm E-commerce Award, a prize dedicated to Italian excellence in e-commerce.

Redefining the in-store experience

The digital transformation strategy defined and implemented by Retail Reply has developed along two main lines: consolidation of the sales network and development of new digital channels. To provide Primadonna with the necessary technological uniformity to scale across multiple stores, a single solution has been designed for all store operations, based on Oracle. The next generation “cash register” allows you to: recognize and follow customers on the move with a tablet, browse the collection, give information about product details and availability, create orders on behalf of customers, manage repairs, send clothing alteration requests, and view and coordinate warehouse operations. 

Digitizing the brand

Following the transformation strategy designed for Primadonna, new digital channels were enabled through the creation of two e-commerce sites, developed with Salesforce Commerce Cloud, dedicated to the group’s two reference brands: Primadonna and Valerio 1966. Retail Reply has provided Primadonna with a CRM capable of designing an omnichannel loyalty program, developing an app for Primadonna’s virtual loyalty card management.
The Loyalty Program designed by Primadonna allows customers to register from the cash register, the site or the app allowing omnichannel purchases and points accumulation. Information about preferences is also shared with the new in-store cash register, allowing sales representatives to build a customized shopping experience based on customers’ habits, thus increasing the in-store shopping trend.
