Swisse Kentico eCommerce Solution

Background

Swisse are a global wellness brand that promotes health and wellbeing in all aspects of life.  Known best for their multivitamins and dietary supplements, the Swisse brand extends to sports nutrition, skincare and functional foods.  Swisse products are currently available in Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and the United Kingdom.

Swisse approached Revium to consolidate the Swisse.com website across a single delivery platform.

Swisse’s web presence has grown over time with the implementation of several websites and two eCommerce systems (retail and wholesale).  Swisse initiated plans to consolidate their web based systems across one single delivery platform.  The first step in this process was the redevelopment of the public website and retail ecommerce systems with the aim to provide an intuitive, premium consumer experience – optimised for all devices and market segments.  A new content strategy would also seek to increase customer engagement and build a community of highly engaged customers, who are passionate Swisse brand advocates and experts; who will recommend Swisse products whenever the opportunity arises.
