The challenge

“70 in one go”: This could be the motto of the new website of German shoe manufacturer Gabor. The company embarked on a transformative journey from predominantly stationary shoe sales to an innovative e-commerce network based on the marketplace model.

By integrating 70 Gabor retailers through a digital interface, they created a comprehensive online shopping experience for customers.

Pimcore was chosen as the platform for the new Gabor online store, enabling the extension and optimization of the existing e-commerce infrastructure with new structures and features. Pimcore, an open-source solution, not only met the complex and unique requirements but also offered long-term financial advantages.
