The functionality of a modern webshop, or rather the lack of it, is often the main reason to consider replacing the current system. The simple "picture-price" principle of the previous generation of webshops is no longer sufficient to persuade visitors to buy. Intelligent features are needed, such as excellent search and selection capabilities, relevant product recommendations, personalised content, etc. One can choose to accommodate all functionalities in the platform, but a so-called "best of breed" solution is also possible.

Especially when you are going to work with, for example, a Marketing Automation, Personalization tools or a Customer Data Platform, connectivity is very important.

A well-chosen Ecommerce Platform facilitates the users more, so that less needs to be spent on, for example, a web builder. In addition, the costs of hosting a modern solution per visitor are often lower.

Due to the flexible possibilities of content management, “story telling” functions and AB testing possibilities, the conversion percentage increases, resulting in more sales. These are just a few examples, but the list of optimizations is often long. Just like in a “brick shop” it is necessary to move with the times and to ensure an optimal experience for the visitors. Lower costs and higher turnover usually ensure a quick payback of a Replatforming.
