As businesses across India navigate how to engage with their customers in the new normal, technology companies have a key role to play in digitally transforming the way businesses connect with their customers. Replicating retail on digital platforms can be a challenge, as customers expect smooth, uninterrupted, and optimized purchase experiences that are on-brand and unique. And, because an online store never closes, businesses need to meet these evolving expectations while continuously scaling and maximizing revenue growth while lowering costs.

PUMA entered India in 2006, and over the last 13 years, the company has grown to operate over 375 owned stores. As the no.1 sports brand in India, PUMA has raced past their competitors in the Indian sports and active wear market. Scaling the business to greater heights, PUMA India has deployed Salesforce Commerce Cloud to enhance the online and mobile shopping experience for their consumers on PUMA.com. With best practices in mobile UX design, merchandising, and technical architecture being built into the solution, the teams can offer their customers an engaging 1-1 personalised experience.

That’s why we are proud that PUMA has chosen Salesforce Commerce Cloud to enable their teams to deliver a truly 24/7 online customer experience.”
