Introduction

Audio-Optimum GmbH, a provider of high-quality studio monitors and high-end audio products, has successfully relaunched its online shop based on Shopware 6. This shop enables the sale of high-end audio products and the presentation of premium studio monitors. The new shop is based on a previous Shopware 5 installation, from which all products were migrated. The shop implementation was carried out by Webwerk, a department of Farbdenker Digital e.K. This report outlines the key phases of development, the challenges faced during the project, and the final outcomes.

Planning Phase

  1. Goal Definition: Establishing the goals of the new shop, including optimizing the sales process for studio monitors and high-end audio products, improving the user experience, and enhancing brand loyalty.
  2. Technology Selection: The decision to upgrade to Shopware 6 was made to benefit from its higher scalability, improved performance, and extended features.
  3. Corporate Design: The shop was customized to match Audio-Optimum GmbH’s corporate design, ensuring that the brand identity and premium product portfolio were prominently displayed.

Development Phase

  1. Data Migration: The entire product catalog was successfully migrated from the previous Shopware 5 installation, including all relevant product information, high-resolution images, and pricing categories.
  2. Plugin Setup: All necessary plugins were implemented and configured to provide functionalities such as advanced search filters, customer reviews, SEO optimization, and real-time inventory updates.
  3. Testing Phase: Extensive testing was conducted to ensure the shop’s functionality, performance, and user-friendliness. Special attention was given to plugin compatibility and the seamless integration of the corporate design.

Implementation Phase

  1. Team Training: A comprehensive training session was conducted for Audio-Optimum GmbH’s internal team to ensure efficient use of the new shop system. The training focused on product management, order processing, and customer communication.
  2. Marketing Campaign: A targeted marketing campaign was launched to promote the new shop, including social media, newsletter marketing, and SEO efforts, to attract both existing and new customers.
  3. Launch: The shop was officially launched after the successful completion of all tests and training sessions, followed by final approval from the management.

Results

  • Increased Sales: The new shop led to a significant increase in sales volume, particularly in the studio monitors category, within the first few months after launch.
  • Expanded Customer Reach: Thanks to improved SEO optimization and targeted marketing campaigns, the shop was able to reach a larger international customer base.
  • Customer Satisfaction: Positive feedback was received from customers due to the user-friendly navigation, clear product offerings, and enhanced shop performance.

Challenges

  • Technical Adjustments: During the transition from Shopware 5 to Shopware 6, challenges arose with the integration of older plugins and custom modifications. These issues were successfully resolved by Webwerk through targeted interventions.
  • Logistics Optimization: The increased order volume required adjustments to the logistics processes to ensure fast shipping and product availability.

Conclusion

The relaunch of the online shop for Audio-Optimum GmbH was a major success. The switch to Shopware 6 not only improved usability but also laid the foundation for future growth. Continuous shop optimization and the integration of customer feedback will remain a priority to further enhance the shopping experience and increase sales.
