Creative Hobbies Group, the biggest retailer of hobby- and creative products in Europe, implemented with Softlution a new webshop for KnorrPrandell and a user friendly Product Information Management (PIM) solution for all countries.

Client situation

Creative Hobbies Group consists of the 3 largest distributors of hobby products in Europe: KnorrPrandell in Germany, Kars&Co in the Netherlands and Bastel Service in Switserland.They develop new hobbies and trends and also develop their own hobby products.Their products are sold to the customers through thousands of shopkeepers.

At the moment each company has their own webshop, each running on a different platform and connected to their own ERP system. Only B2B customers can purchase online.The current webshop platform is not suited for future requirements. Especially regarding sales, marketing and personal approach the system lacks functionalities.


Challenge

Creative Hobbies Group expects that more B2B and B2C customers will buy their products online. Besides a new webshop for KnorrPrandell, Kars and Bastel Service there will also be several white label shops and B2C shops in later phases. All shops will run on the same Hybris 4.2 platform.

Besides a higher conversion, centralizing the product content will also be an important part of this project. The product content of each country will be centralized and enriched by using the Product Information Management functionalities of Hybris. The goal is also to extend the product catalog from 20.000 products now to more than 100.000 later (longtail) and provide more product content to their customers.
