Tell us Phil, how did the collaboration with BVB start?<\/b><\/h2>\n

After a two-month onboarding phase, the first endurance test followed: The players ran out in their special coal and steel jerseys on December 07, 2019 and triggered an incredible run on the club’s store. Within 15 minutes, the server collapsed – a steep challenge for our team, who didn’t hesitate and got the technology back online in record time. Shortly after the store was back online, it was recording almost 1,000 orders per minute. Heja BVB![\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”3b6de9dc-9290-4ad3-9f67-28ec97e192ef” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n

What were the milestones of the last 5 years?<\/b><\/h2>\n

We took care of smooth sales and functioning storytelling – even in high-load scenarios. Next on the agenda were internationalization, a comprehensive front-end relaunch and in-depth consulting services. The collaboration continued to develop milestone by milestone. From operational support to a strategic partnership in which processes were optimized, workflows improved and a fan-centric architecture developed. <\/p>\n

What sounds like a lot of work here was in fact a very challenging job. At the same time, however, it was also a huge pleasure for the black and yellow heart that beats in the hearts of many of our developers and consultants. Especially when event highlights such as the DFB Cup in our Gescher office or the Champions League final at Wembley were on the agenda.

We have become a permanent technology partner and solution developer. The club now follows our expert advice not only for e-commerce projects, but also when it comes to digital business processes and product data management. Over the last 5 years, we have become a regular member of the BVB digital squad. Which – in case it hasn’t become clear yet – we are incredibly proud of.

We have also been able to reduce security risks and significantly expand our development, project management and consulting mandates. So after the game is also before the game for us … things are looking bright for us with BVB in the future.
