PIK AG: B2B Shop Boost with Adobe Commerce & Hyvä

PIK AG has been known for its comprehensive expertise and reliability in the area of media and event technology since 1985. The company offers comprehensive support from the initial idea through design, planning and implementation to service and maintenance. Through their online shop, initially implemented with another service provider, B2B customers have the opportunity to process orders efficiently with personalized assistance.

 

To further professionalize its e-commerce strategy, PIK searched for a new partner for consultation and implementation. The collaboration with the valantic team began with a detailed Adobe Commerce code review and an evaluation of the existing system landscape.
