COMPREHENSIVE SOLUTION FOR BRANDING, DESIGN AND ENGINEERING

Challenge: Positioning a new furniture brand

UrbanDesign faced the challenge of establishing itself as a new brand and reaching a national audience across various channels.

Omnichannel strategy for a strong market presence

An omnichannel strategy was developed for the market launch, seamlessly connecting brick-and-mortar retail with digital platforms. The aim was to create a consistent brand experience – both online and in-store – featuring modern design, intuitive navigation and a robust technical foundation for digitally savvy customers.

Digital marketing of versatile furniture variations

A key challenge lay in the digital presentation of complex furniture variants. Individual configurations needed to be possible from a limited selection and presented clearly, including price details – functionally compelling and visually high-quality.

TAILORED APPROACHES FOR SUSTAINABLE SUCCESS

Our approach: Branding & User Experience

To create a modern and user-friendly e-commerce experience, a new sales channel based on Shopware 6 was implemented. A bespoke design concept presents the UrbanDesign brand in the best possible light, both visually and functionally. In addition, efficient tools simplify the purchasing and configuration process and ensure a seamless user experience.

Holistic brand & design concept

A holistic corporate identity concept was developed for UrbanDesign, defining clear brand values and ensuring a consistent presence across all channels.

Optimal display on all devices

A mobile-first approach ensures high usability on smart devices and a scalable, responsive display on larger screens. Intuitive navigation structures ensure an optimal customer journey..

User-friendly one-page checkout

The clear, one-page checkout consolidates all order steps and offers modern payment options such as Twint, PayPal and Apple Pay – for a simplified purchasing process and higher conversion rates.

Das Marken- und Designkonzept von UrbanDesign definiert klare Markenwerte und schafft eine konsistente Präsenz über alle Kanäle hinweg.

Additional sales channel with Shopware 6

Future-proof shop solution

The seamless integration enables centralised management and creates a scalable foundation for further growth. Optimised structures improve the customer journey and connect both platforms seamlessly.

Efficient product configuration with XcalibuR

The integration of XcalibuR into Shopware 6 enables flexible product configurations with realistic 3D visualisations. Materials, colours and sizes can be customised from various angles and are immediately visible – helping customers make an informed purchasing decision.

Intuitive configuration & product pre-selection

Product data from XcalibuR is displayed in a structured manner by product group and filter, and is supplemented by guided queries and optional live advice. The integrated Product Wizard also supports quick pre-selection and efficiently guides users to the configurator.

Sample ordering with integrated data processing

Customers can order free fabric samples at checkout. All requests are automatically recorded in HubSpot, enabling structured data management, better tracking and optimised customer communication.

Mit dem „Product Wizard“ erhalten Kunden eine innovative Vorauswahl, die den Kaufprozess intuitiv und effizient gestaltet.
