THE CHALLENGE
Omnichannel for four brands with Salesforce Storefront Reference Architecture
To implement omnichannel processes for four brands in order to offer customers new shopping experiences and integrate the new Salesforce SFRA infrastructure, including new e-commerce features to ensure a smooth transition from the legacy system.
SCENARIO
Rethinking retail and websites
The Miroglio Group is an Italian company active in 22 countries in the fashion sector with well-known brands, including Motici, Fiorella Rubino, Elena Mirò and Oltre. In an increasingly competitive market, the Group has decided to face the challenge of the B2C shopping experience's digital transformation to keep up with technological opportunities and offer its end customers new shopping experiences.
The Miroglio Group's digital retail solution needed to be redesigned to enable omnichannel processes for its brands and to offer new order management solutions, while its websites needed to be migrated to the latest version of Salesforce Commerce Cloud (SFRA).

THE SOLUTION
Accelerate E2E omnichannel processes with an innovative management system
Retail Reply proposed a new application landscape to Miroglio, integrating the Salesforce OMS and Salesforce Omnichannel Inventory systems into Salesforce Commerce Cloud. A series of optimisations were therefore provided that made it possible to enable multishipping and manage routing rules to optimise the number of shipments, reduce delivery times and increase the availability of goods, thanks to the use of store stock.
The Retail Reply Accelerator has also been adopted, leveraging AWS technologies and services, to complete the E2E omnichannel processes related to in-store processes, allowing the enabling of in-store pickup and packaging, the capture and refund process, the provision of return labels and the management of in-store returns.
HOW DID WE DO IT
Complex integrations and new features
To create a complete E2E solution for Miroglio, Retail Reply also managed integrations with various systems, such as ERP, WMS, Service Cloud, ShippyPro, EGON for address validation, Live Story for the editorial component, ORCE and various Payment Service Providers, including Axerve, Klarna and Paypal. Thanks to the synergy between Commerce, SOM, OCI and ORCE, complex features such as loyalty discounts have been implemented with two different logics for accumulating/unloading points for the four brands involved and the use of the digital gift card for single or hybrid payment (multi-payment).
THE RESULTS
Omnichannel at the service of competitiveness
The solution introduced by Retail Reply has enabled more than 600 omnichannel order fulfillment locations for all Miroglio brands, leading to an increase in turnover thanks to the sales contribution of the stores.
These new omnichannel processes offer a better configuration to support business objectives in terms of revenue, number of orders fulfilled and customer experience. Thanks to the new application landscape that simplifies the construction of a single retail platform, unifying physical stores and digital channels, the customer has become more competitive on the market.
