Solution
To tackle Galeries Lafayette Doha’s challenges, Krish implemented a comprehensive strategy combining technical precision and innovative thinking. By leveraging Adobe Commerce Cloud as the core platform, our experts ensured seamless integration of key systems like Oracle Retail, Capillary Loyalty, and Aramex Shipment. This alignment streamlined inventory management, customer data synchronization, and shipping logistics, creating a robust operational backbone for the brand.
In addition, integrating the QNB payment gateway addressed security and reliability concerns for online transactions, ensuring a smooth payment experience for customers. We also revamped the brand’s omnichannel gift card functionality, enabling customers to redeem gift cards seamlessly across online and in-store platforms. We also introduced a personalized shopping experience for their customers to customize their perfume bottles by adding their name, initials, or a bespoke label. This feature elevated the product’s appeal and created a deeper emotional connection with the brand. These solutions were meticulously planned and executed to align with their vision for an elevated digital presence.
The Strategy
Our experts deployed Oracle Retail as a centralized integration hub to ensure real-time synchronization across multiple systems, including Adobe Commerce and Capillary Loyalty. This setup maintained consistent customer profiles, inventory levels, and loyalty point updates, eliminating data silos and enhancing operational efficiency.
To foster customer engagement, a bi-directional integration with Capillary Loyalty allowed real-time updates on rewards and points, ensuring customers always had access to accurate loyalty information. The QNB payment gateway was integrated through secure APIs, ensuring safe and seamless transactions. Additional features like AI-powered product recommendations, the "Shop the Look" functionality, Instagram Feed integration, and Twak live chat support elevated the overall customer experience, making the platform more interactive and personalized. Lastly, we also enhanced the gifting experience by offering customization in beauty hampers wherein customers can curate a selection of their favorite products. This feature enables customers to mix and match items, select packaging options, and add personalized messages.
