Blåkläder is a B2B producer, with customers based throughout the world. This means that the company has to process sales in different countries, with different prices and delivery methods for each individual customer and market. Storm Commerce provides Blåkläder with access to a scalable B2B solution and an advanced PIM implementation for all markets, streamlining information updates, providing better control of all flows and simplifying roll-out on new markets.

One of the key reasons why the company opted to choose Storm Commerce is that the platform acts independently from the business system and is a stable cloud service (SaaS), delivering the best possible level of scalability and performance.
