Content Commerce Thanks to Modern CMS Channel

Initial Situation & Objectives

BayWa AG and dotSource have been working together closely for many years. For Südpellets, a BayWa brand and platform for wood fuels, the website was to be fundamentally changed: this involved migrating from TYPO3 to a new CMS – Bloomreach Experience Manager – and building an innovative CMS channel with commerce features. The goal was to create an appealing brand presence that allows customers to order wood fuels for several months.

Project Scope & Implementation

The migration had to be completed within a tight time frame. After a short scoping phase, BayWa AG and dotSource worked according to agile principles based on Scrum. The new system was implemented sprint by sprint to enable content commerce and use exactly the same CMS as the entire group on www.suedpellets.de.

Success & Added Value

The new CMS channel resulted in numerous added values for the BayWa brand Südpellets:

The old CMS (TYPO3) was successfully replaced
Thanks to the migration to Bloomreach Experience Manager, Südpellets received a modern CMS that is capable of content commerce
The website was modernised and the design is now fresher
Data maintenance is significantly easier in the new CMS (front-end editing possible)
Since the entire BayWa AG uses the CMS, it is now standardised across the group
The new CMS is easier to maintain
A more modern website with commerce features promises increases in sales
