DISTRELEC

About Distrelec

Distrelec is a renowned Swiss-based distributor of electronic, automation, and measurement technology products. It is a part of the RS Group and serves across Europe, in over 15 countries. With an already impressive reputation for delivering high-quality innovative solutions, the company continues to grow its success through digital transformation.

How We Made It Happen

The Challenge

Distrelec had long relied on its SAP Commerce setup for handling its global operations efficiently. However, as their service expanded through countries and their customer base grew, the system began to slow down.

The industrial electronics distributor found it difficult to scale their operations because of frontend dependencies. The limited flexibility made it harder to keep up with the evolving needs of business and the users.

Moreover, Distrelec wanted to introduce new personalization features and UX enhancements. But their existing structure didn’t allow the modern features that could accelerate the engagement levels for their audience.

They needed a system that levels up their digital and customer experience management while ensuring stability. Distrelec set out to fill the gaps so they can consistently serve the best experience to their growing international customer base.

The Solution

Spadoom understood Distrelec’s need for an advanced setup and led the company to transform its SAP Commerce Cloud architecture into a fully headless system.

The modern setup reduced the frontend dependencies and allowed the team to work independently on the frontend updates without disrupting the backend operation.

It significantly improved the system’s flexibility and simplified content management. With an API-first model, the company’s e-commerce operations became more efficient and responsive.

Spadoom helped Distrelec to roll out new personalization and UX features that enhanced the customer experience. This approach also strengthened the brand’s digital foundation, ensuring its online shop is ready to scale and evolve with future demands.

The Results

Spadoom’s solution to transition to a headless architecture gave Distrelec the scalability and flexibility it was looking for. The SAP Commerce Cloud upgrade created new possibilities for the company.

Because of the decoupling of the frontend from the backend, the system performed much better and faster than before. It also helped the Distrelec team to introduce new features and content updates with reduced time-to-market.

The company also got the freedom to experiment with personalization and user experience upgrades, which allowed them to cater to their expanding customer base.

This SAP development positioned the electronics distributor for agility and long-term growth. The modern, flexible system strengthened their digital commerce capabilities and reinforced their competitive edge.
