Vodafone Smart Tech eCommerce Evolution Case Study

A state of the art platform that incorporates the whole purchasing process and customer journey while ensuring flexibility to add new offers and pricing models while answering different market requirements.

Vodafone - one of the largest communication providers in the world – first launched a consumer IoT offering in 2017 and, since then, has been developing its own range of ‘Designed & Connected by Vodafone’ smart tech devices.

With a focus on pioneering smart devices and digital experiences that are seamless to use and provide greater peace of mind, Vodafone is helping consumers stay connected to the people and things they love the most.

The Challenge

With the IoT market growing at a fast pace, it’s expected that home devices will increase from five to fifty, amounting to almost 25 billion connections and 900 billion euros by 2025. With this in mind, an agile and scalable ecommerce solution was essential to reach different markets and segments.

The Vodafone Smart Tech team sought an eCommerce platform that addressed their needs from back to front-end to be able to scale their eShop globally and provide customers with great experiences.
