Heutink realizes its full potential with the Intershop Commerce Platform

  • New product and target groups required migration to future-proof e-commerce platform
  • Personalized portals based on customer types
  • Integration with best-of-breed CMS and marketing tools
  • SPARQUE.AI implemented for website search and product recommendations

Jena (DE) / Nijverdal (NL), November 17, 2022 – Heutink Primair Onderwijs B.V., an international distribution and manufacturing company of educational supplies for elementary school, high school, and childcare facilities, has successfully re-platformed to the Intershop Commerce Platform.

Due to new products, services, and target groups, Heutink wanted a new e-commerce platform that was more than an order entry tool. It should inform, inspire, and advise customers to show the full potential of what Heutink has to offer, increase customer satisfaction, and improve the customer journey.

There were several challenges in this process: On the one hand, the complex customer needs making access management essential. On the other hand, a solution for both offline and online school materials in the form of licenses. Moreover, there is a peak season right before the summer holidays, when all customers order their materials simultaneously. For Heutink, this means 5,000 order lines per hour. Tjibbe van Doorn, E-commerce Manager at Heutink: "Because of the extensive possibilities and the high-commerce performance, we selected the Intershop Commerce Platform, which the Intershop business partner De Nieuwe Zaak implemented."

The online shop went live just before the peak season. “The result is a commerce platform that marks the beginning of Heutink’s digital transformation”, says Tjibbe van Doorn. For an improved, more relevant customer experience and high customer satisfaction, SPARQUE.AI is already being implemented – Intershop’s solution for website search and product recommendations.
