desiary

desiary.de has been selling selected home accessories and special design gifts made by international designers and architects since 2009 and provides shipping throughout Europe. They bring a passion for craftsmanship and individuality to everything they do. The shop’s product range comprises around 1,500 items in 100 different categories. desiary.de primarily targets end customers, however, it also operates in the B2B market.

Migration from Oxid to Shopware 6 for new future prospects

desiary.de recently decided to migrate from Oxid to Shopware 6 as its e-commerce platform of choice. The goal was for the new e-commerce solution to offer more agility, thus ensuring the company is well positioned for the future. Having a user-friendly interface and easy-to-use content management were further requests in this project. With the help of Shopware 6 and Shopware’s partner Proxation, this was achieved and implemented successfully.

Shopware 6 experience worlds are an integral part of the shop

With the Shopware 6 experience worlds, specific products in the desiary.de shop are accentuated in the form of a magazine. The magazine enables new content to be presented to customers in an easy and efficient way and a variety of products to be advertised as well. Special features such as a colour search or a gift finder make the shop stand out from the crowd.In addition to experience worlds, Shopware 6 also left a good impression with its Social Shopping feature. This component is included in the Shopware 6 Professional Edition.

Social Shopping makes more sales channels available, enabling a simple integration into the usual social media channels. This way, desiary operates its shop using an administration interface, Google Shopping and Facebook.

The shop is operated on a managed server provided by Shopware’s hosting partner Profihost who looks after the technical setup. The agency also connected the shop with Plentymarkets, a merchandise management system.

Implemented by Shopware’s solution partner Proxation GmbH

The desiary.de shop was implemented in as little as 12 weeks by Shopware’s partner agency Proxation. This collaboration was highly satisfactory. As desiary managing director Julia Ritter positively puts it: “Working with Proxation was professional and quick at all times. The agency pays special attention to creating a clean layout, which I truly appreciate as it demonstrates a sense of aesthetics. In stressful phases, Proxation was there for us 24-7. So far, they have always found good, workable solutions.”

Looking ahead

desiary.de is especially looking forward to implementing the remaining social media integration in the shop. Also, completing the feeds is high on the agenda. Apart from that, the company is looking forward to a successful pre-Christmas period with its new Shopware 6 shop.
