Press Release | September 1, 2020

Amsterdam - Due the sudden drastic change in the economy, it is no longer a question whether to go digital or not. Stores who had their digital landscape ready before the Pandemic are far ahead of their competition. Online shopping will stay, that’s for sure. To contrast with the Digital Transformation in large enterprises, we shed light on what such transformations look like in smaller, more entrepreneurial companies, like Shoeby.

To stay relevant and in the competition with other retailers, Shoeby decided on time, to create an omnichannel experience for their customers. They do not only have hundreds of stores, they also invested in their digital landscape, online shop, app and marketplace. They invest a lot in data and combining forces within retail, named AIR (Artificial Intelligence for Retail). They are merging the customers digital and physical experience, to become ready for the future, but more important… to be ready.. Now!

This interview is the 2nd in a row of our series of interviews with the best 'Digital Transformers' in the market.

Background information

In a series of interviews, these transformers elaborate on their digital journey. Their challenges, setbacks and successes. This interview series is intended to inspire companies, highlight best practices and the practical side of realizing such transformations.
