Issues and challenges

Luxury and performance: a B2B/B2C e-commerce platform

To assert its high-end positioning, Valois Varden needed a Shopify e-commerce platform that combined operational efficiency with visual sophistication. The challenge was to create a single site capable of delivering an immersive, elegant user experience, while integrating seamless B2C and B2B sales management. This complex project called for a robust, intuitive and scalable solution, adapted to international requirements.

Technical and administration

Valois Varden needed a site that was easy to use, powerful and flexible. The back-office had to be intuitive to guarantee fluid, autonomous management of products, orders and customers. The solution also had to limit the need for logistics and technical maintenance, so that the team could devote itself fully to the strategic development of the brand.

Brand image and luxury positioning

The site had to reflect the world of luxury and reveal the uniqueness of "emotional jewelry". Every detail of the interface was designed to captivate visitors from the moment they arrived, thanks to refined visuals, fluid navigation and an elegant presentation of the brand's craftsmanship. The result was an immersive experience in keeping with the demanding codes of haute bijouterie.

Hybrid B2B/B2C management

Bringing together two distinct worlds on a single platform required a tailor-made approach. Valois Varden needed to offer its private customers a fluid, immersive and elegant experience, while its reseller partners needed to benefit from an exclusive space, designed to simplify professional management. Each account had access to personalized content, differentiated pricing and dedicated functionalities. A sophisticated B2B module guaranteed autonomous tracking of orders and commissions, ensuring smooth and efficient collaboration.

International expansion

As part of its drive to expand internationally, the company wanted a platform capable of adjusting to the specific characteristics of each market. Multi-currency management, localized content and catalogs adapted to local regulations were carefully thought out to guarantee a homogeneous, premium experience for a global clientele. This flexibility, combined with the modularity of the digital solution, ensures smooth, controlled expansion on the international scene.

Development of a customized B2B module

Multi-market management Thanks to Shopify Markets and Translate & Adapt, the site automatically adapts to the user’s localization. Prices, texts and product catalogs readjust in real time, guaranteeing a fluid, relevant and personalized experience in each target market.

This advanced personalization guarantees fluid navigation, adapted to each user profile.

Adapting to international markets

The site's international scope was integrated from the outset. Thanks to Shopify Markets, prices, currencies and content adjust dynamically according to the user's location. This flexibility ensures a relevant experience in each target market, guaranteeing seamless navigation that respects cultural specificities.

Optimizing the customer journey and sales tunnel
