Project shortcuts

Heinemann, a global retailer and distributor in travel retail, offers a diverse product portfolio at airports, on cruise ships and in diplomatic zones. Our SAP experts successfully migrated the B2C web store from an on-premise solution to an SAP cloud license model. The aim of the project was to improve the scalability of the system and ensure long-term support for modern SAP technologies. With the migration, we created a future-proof foundation that supports the company in its global expansion and digital development.

Scalable e-commerce solution

The main goal of the project was to replace the on-premise web store and fully migrate to SAP Commerce Cloud. This changeover makes it possible to take advantage of continuous support and future technology upgrades, as well as to ensure long-term system stability.

As part of the project, we also successfully updated the SAP Commerce version and migrated the database, thus creating the basis for a high-performance and future-proof platform.
