Project background
The Carglass® Belux website is key in the digital transformation at Carglass®, with online bookings growing in number year over year and providing a more cost-effective, yet user-friendly, alternative compared to call center bookings. In addition, the online channel is heavily promoted in all campaign communications. This also includes data drive online advertising partially based on interactions of visitors with the website.
As part of their omni-channel strategy, the Carglass® website is deeply integrated with the back-end ERP system that drives operations. The data driven website helps to ensure a consistent and smooth user experience throughout all stages of the customer journey (before, during & after the appointment) both online and offline in the field. A custom templating engine created on Sitecore and integrated with ERP helps to generate relevant communications/emails at every stage of the journey.
