Plus - Strategic Partnership with Digital Transformation Mission

The Bold Fusion: OutSystems, commercetools, and Contentful

Growing ambitions of the supermarket chain had to be supported by a more robust and flexible platform in the long run. This is when PLUS appointed Product League do develop a new platform that would enhance stability, scalability, and time to market. The collaboration led to the pioneering integration of OutSystems, commercetools, and Contentful, marking it the first-ever combination of these leading technologies.

The new platform leverages OutSystems’ modular building blocks to swiftly construct intuitive front-end interfaces for both the webshop and mobile application. Commercetools’ back-end capabilities facilitate unparalleled shopping experiences, while Contentful seamlessly manages all digital content.

Exceptional Results

Officially launched in February 2024, the platform has already demonstrated impressive year-on-year growth in market share and online revenue. PLUS anticipates a rapid return on investment, as the transition from a monolithic to a composable architecture significantly reduces the total cost of ownership. The agility of the new system allows for frequent updates without the constraints of irregular release cycles, thereby fostering continuous innovation and enhancing customer satisfaction.

The constructive interaction of OutSystems, commercetools, and Contentful ensures an exceptional uptime of 99.99%, eliminating previous concerns about stability. The platform’s performance is guaranteed through automated, data-driven scaling services. Notably, the addition of advanced features such as voice and barcode search capabilities were accomplished within a mere two-week sprint—a task that previously required months of development.
