Iconic British Retailer Fenwick Turns to Salesforce to Launch Digital Shopping Experience

Together with Salesforce Marketing Cloud and Service Cloud, Fenwick Will Deliver Personalized, Connected and Fast Digital Shopping Experiences

Salesforce, the global leader in CRM, announced that British department store Fenwick has selected Salesforce Commerce Cloud, Marketing Cloud and Service Cloud to deliver new digital shopping experiences.

With nine stores in the UK and 135 years trading, Fenwick faced the challenge of rising customer expectations in a world that is fast becoming digitized. Fenwick needs to be able to support all points of commerce and service across multiple channels. The new ecommerce platform and personalized experience powered by Salesforce will help the British retailer meet the expectations of today’s connected and digitally savvy customers.

Fenwick’s implementation of both Service Cloud and Marketing Cloud is supported by Salesforce partner, eMark and the implementation of Commerce Cloud by Salesforce partner Astound Commerce.
