We have complete confidence in our online sales with the SAP Commerce Cloud solution. Our online shop was able to handle an unexpected peak of 15-times-greater site traffic without issue.

Flexi
Flexi is a footwear brand beloved by men, women, and children across Mexico. For three generations, the family-owned business has sold shoes out of its in-person retail locations.
Despite operating approximately 500 stores by 2019, Flexi wanted an online presence. The company sought to expand into e-commerce with cloud technology. With this approach, it gained the flexible foundation necessary to meet its customers’ fast-changing shopping needs as well as fluctuations in demand – even in times of worldwide disruption.
Flexi decided to launch its e-commerce Web site with the SAP Commerce Cloud solution to help fulfill growing demand for online shopping. Little did the company know that the same solution would help mitigate losses a few months later, when approximately 475 of its retail stores closed during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Along with helping Flexi create an online, direct-to-consumer shopping experience, SAP Commerce Cloud also gave Flexi insights into customers’ evolving buying habits and preferences. The business surveys customers through the solution and then sends sales promotions tailored to each shopper’s preference.
The integration capacity of SAP Commerce Cloud has also proven useful during a time of intense economic challenges. Flexi has maintained its presence on third-party e-commerce sites, such as Mercado Libre and Amazon, with no disruption.
Flexi has developed and optimized its e-commerce platform to offer shoppers faster speeds and reliability. Specifically, customers can shop safely from home during holidays, such as Mother’s Day and the “Hot Sale,” an extended period of sales days in Mexico in the fall.
With SAP Commerce Cloud, Flexi can provide a better shopping experience year-round. For instance, the company can send out-of-season stock back to the warehouse from its retail locations and then promote the stock to online shoppers who may buy the products.
Flexi has seen its shopper sales conversion rate double since implementing SAP solutions. It hopes to continue offering its share of online, direct-to-consumer shopping even after customers return to in-person retail locations. From there, the company plans to expand into the business-to-business market.
Just a year or two ago, we didn’t have communication with customers. Now, with the SAP Commerce Cloud solution, we have many strategies to help us learn about our customers and offer them deals that keep them coming back.
