Introduction

Atleticos.com, a sports footwear and apparel retailer with a strong physical presence, decided to embark on a new and exciting adventure: expanding its business into the world of e-commerce. In order to capitalize on the growth of online commerce and reach a wider audience, Atleticos.com made the bold decision to invest in technology and establish its presence in the digital marketplace.

Challenge

While Atleticos.com had an established reputation in its physical stores and a loyal customer base, it faced the challenge of adapting to new online consumer trends. The company understood the importance of being present in the digital world to remain relevant and competitive in the industry.

The main challenges they faced were:

1. Create an e-commerce platform that is easy to use and attractive to customers.
2. Effectively synchronize products and inventory from the central warehouse with the online store to avoid errors and stock-outs.
3. Implement an online marketing strategy to attract and retain new customers in the digital world.

Solution

Atleticos.com understood that it needed a robust and reliable solution to carry out this digital transformation successfully. For this, the e-commerce platform PrestaShop was chosen due to its flexibility and scalability. An internal team of developers and e-commerce experts was formed to lead the project.

The main actions carried out were:

1. Development of an online store in PrestaShop: An attractive e-commerce website was created, easy to navigate and optimized to provide an excellent user experience. Emphasis was placed on product presentation with high quality images, detailed descriptions and intuitive navigation.
2. Product and inventory synchronization: To ensure efficient inventory management and avoid availability problems, a synchronization system was implemented that connected the central warehouse with the online store. This allowed stock changes and new products to be reflected in real time on the online platform.
3. Digital marketing strategy: Atleticos.com leveraged social media, email marketing and online advertising to attract new customers and build loyalty among existing ones. Promotional campaigns were carried out, special discounts were offered and relevant content was created for the target audience.
