A few years ago, the very ideal of a 30-minute delivery would make most e-commerce stores balk.

Data is the future, data is the new oil… we’ve all heard the idioms that user data is going to be important.

Surely, for data collection and management to rise, regulations…

Experience is everything these days. At least it might seem so between hyperpersonalization, customer experience and a hundred other buzzwords ending in experience (more on that later 😉 )   Specifically in e-commerce & retail, this is an increasingly obvious direction, so we have one encompassing term: experience-driven commerce. Well, one other all encompassing term.   What is Experience-Driven Commerce?  Experience-Driven Commerce…

The internet has always been a bit of a pendulum for e-commerce stores. On one hand, stores can reach a wider audience than a physical outlet but, on the other hand, so can all their competitors.  Typically, companies try to swing the pendulum in their favour through tried and tested means: good marketing, good promotions. But what if the promotions…

The input from business has been invaluable. – It is now clear that we still have months, if not years, of this emergency ahead of us. Therefore we have to start helping in a different way. Now is the time for long-term systemic actions – emphasises Grzegorz Rudno-Rudziński, managing partner of Unity Group

Regardless of the effective date, the changes will be quickly noticeable. – Large e-commerce platforms use advanced pricing solutions and personalized promotions also on the basis of identified customer preferences and in this case, they will have to inform about the use of such mechanism – says Sebastian Błaszkiewicz, Sales Director at Unity Group.

It is worth following what is happening in the B2B segment of e-commerce. Many companies, e.g. in the construction industry, stock up on inventory (to fulfill current contracts, but also future ones). These companies are concerned over rising prices and inventory shortages. Here also (in B2B e-commerce), despite unfavorable economic factors, we observe sales increases and investments in the development of these sales channels. ” – sales director at Unity Group Sebastian Blaszkiewicz

We should not forget that nearly 3 million refugees from Ukraine – mostly women with children – have entered Poland. – This has an impact on online sales of food, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics.

The accelerating inflation and rising interest rates caused turnover drops in many e-shops; buyers lost, among others, their creditworthiness – assessed Grzegorz Rudno-Rudziński from Unity Group commenting on the CSO data. Some sectors, e.g. construction, however, recorded increased turnovers, he added.

System integrations are easier said than done. The concept is simple, but the wider system integration process is a little more complicated. In fact, to do it right, some of the more important system integration steps take place before the actual work itself.  Why? Because unlike implementing other digital solutions, integration projects aren’t visible by themselves. More so, badly implemented…

All teams were actively involved. In our organization, almost immediately four people were released from their duties so that they could only deal with and coordinate these activities, says Grzegorz Rudno-Rudziński, Managing Partner of Unity Group, one of the companies belonging to ITCorner and president of the cluster’s board

urrently, the most interesting trends in the commerce sector are cross-border, q commerce, green commerce, live commerce, e-grocery, as well as the growing role of the marketplace – says Piotr Wrzalik, partner manager at Unity Group and in the perspective of the next 5 years the following phenomena will become important: MACH (microservices, API, cloud, headless) dominating for companies selling in omnichannel model, the proliferation of SaaS and PaaS models, voice commerce and VR.

The past 25 years have seen rapid advances in technology, taking commerce to ever higher levels. The intervals between successive milestones in this industry are clearly becoming shorter. Our predictions definitely go beyond the borders of commonly understood e-commerce – says Grzegorz Rudno-Rudziński, managing partner of Unity Group and president of ITCorner, a nationwide organization associating IT companies.

For many, their first experience with buying groceries online came as a surprise, and a positive one at that. Thanks to the pandemic, consumers felt first-hand that technology is becoming more user-friendly, logistics are faster, and online shopping does not exclude the possibility of picking up at one of the increasingly numerous pick-up points, if one has such a preference – says Sebastian Błaszkiewicz, sales director at Unity Group. – In the last two years, there have been many fundamental changes in the area of trade, especially online, which made the observed changes in shopping habits permanent – he adds.

Not only the purchases of consumers, but also companies are changing. – The pandemic favours not only the development of B2C e-commerce, but also the much less media-savvy B2B e-commerce, whose value in Poland exceeds 600 billion PLN – claims Sebastian Błaszkiewicz, Sales Director at Unity Group. – Shopping habits are already changing permanently and the role of shopping malls will switch in the coming years.

In such cases it is worth to use the knowledge of experts from the outside, who have a track record of many transformation processes. The role of such person/team is to get to know the company from the inside, i.e. to understand how it functions and whether it is ready for changes. The mission of outsourcing of transformation processes is to make the strategic goals more realistic and to translate them into effective task execution thanks to properly selected technologies. The result of this work should be a reliable action plan resistant to challenges during the transformation – says Mateusz Bąska, Head of Consulting in Unity Group, who has conducted over 500 commerce transformation projects.

A lot can change in 25 years. A lot has changed #Since1997 already. But what about the next 25 years? We’ve all observed that technology is growing at an exponential rate, which means the changes ahead of us surely outweigh those that have already occurred, right? In fact, there are many digital transformation trends shaping the future of industry –…

Back in 1997, many of today’s concepts didn’t even exist. We were on the verge of becoming netizens and webheads with our palmtops by our sides. Technology wasn’t “smart”, nothing was “optimized” and a tablet was made of stone. The technology world is no stranger to buzzwords. We ourselves talk about multiexperience, single sources of truth and mobile-first concepts. And…

“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it” George Santayana In 2021, Walmart overtook eBay as the 2nd largest e-commerce store in the US, with Amazon remaining number 1. While that might seem trivial to some, the implications are far from insignificant; a traditionally brick-and-mortar supermarket was able to overtake a long established, digital-native king. Surprising, of…

“Digital Transformation” is not a magic stick. You can’t just throw money at a problem and expect everything to work out. Digital Transformation can – and does – sometimes fail. And often, that happens even before technology is even involved. We’ve spent 25 years helping companies to fully realize their digital potential. We’ve seen how digital transformation helps business time…

1997 was a very different place. Netflix had just started its rental service, DVDs were slowly taking over VHS and we accessed the internet via Netscape – at least those of us with the time and modem to do so. Even giants like eBay and Amazon were only 4 and 5 years old respectively. Google had only just registered its…

On Thursday, December 9, a few minutes before midnight, information regarding a serious vulnerability in the Log4J2 library hit the IT world.

Repetition, inaccuracy and inconsistencies are issues every business wants to avoid. They’re also typical signs of poorly chosen – or poorly used – technologies. When used right, good technology can eliminate unnecessary repetition, ensure greater consistency and generally improve results over all. At the core of this is often the concept of “A Single Source of Truth” and it’s a…

When talking face to face, personalization often happens at unconscious level. Interacts are smooth, adapted on the fly to suit the customer’s needs.

We must adapt. E-commerce…

Everyone gets stressed on Black Friday but, between us, shoppers are the ones that have it easy 😉 Behind the scenes, entire IT, marketing and customer support teams need to prepare a solid strategy.

A leader in electric scooter manufacturing decided to move the entire system infrastructure from local servers to an Azure cloud-based model.

Retail sales growth (in constant prices) accelerated in August to 5.4% from 3.9% y/y in July, but came in below consensus. According to economists, it testifies to the continuing strength of consumer demand, which remains the main driver in Q3. Sebastian Blaszkiewicz, sales director at Unity Group, reminds about the changes taking place in online shopping and the overall growing number of e-shops. (content in Polish)

For most businesses, a typical content management system (including traditional and headless CMS versions) will answer all essential needs – landing pages, home pages, contact details etc – with little effort. With e-commerce operations however, there are additional needs we need to consider: products. In fact, that’s an oversimplification. With products also come brands, manufacturers, categories and a whole ecosystem…

A new marketplace player has emerged in Europe, starting its expansion with Poland. The solution belongs to Sea Ltd, the Singapore-based technology group of billionaire Forrest Li.

As a result of the pandemic, the digital transformation of companies has significantly accelerated, and recent months have shown that it will only continue. The driving force behind this process are companies providing professional IT consulting and services, among which (both regionally and globally) there is fierce competition. Unity Group teams up with Euvic Group to strengthen its capabilities. (content in German)

In our previous post, we discussed the challenges of making websites more accessible for people with vision impairments and (spoiler) how to solve them. This time, we want to expand on the concept of usability as a whole, to show how businesses can better make their products and services accessible for all. This time, we want to talk about: So,…

Nearly every industry these days has an online element – in some cases, it’s the predominant channel. And that’s great – if you don’t have any accessibility requirements.  But as more and more of the world moves online, we need to consider the wider needs that different people may have. For example, we already make it as easy as possible for people to change a website or app’s displayed language – often in just 1-2 clicks – so why don’t…

How do you measure success? It’s not a trick question. With an online business such as e-commerce stores, there’s a whole wealth of information to draw insights from. However, at the same time, it’s easy to get lost in the multitude of data, statistics, tables and charts. That’s why we want to guide through the most essential statistics: what they…

Depending on how mature your business is, you might find it necessary to set up a data storage tool. The most common motivation to implement a database is the need to put in order the constantly growing number of business-relevant information from a large number of sources. A well-designed database ensures coherence and integrity of the information it contains, but…

We previously discussed the wider concept of customer experience, but let’s focus on one of the most critical steps: product page conversion. After all – this is the make-or-break moment. Do users convert into customers or not? Users on such pages have found what they want – optimizing product pages will ensure they’re more likely to follow through and add…

A great retail business is as much about the experience as it is the products. And in this area, the digital side has often been lagging. With the growth of e-commerce* the need for a better digital customer experience only grows – so let’s hit that nail right on the head. If you are the owner of an e-commerce store,…

If you’re an IT Director, you’ve probably had a lot of change recently. More so, in the B2B sector, these ripples seem to keep on coming – your role looks very different from a year or two ago.   Repetitive tasks, a nice orderly schedule and emergency-free weeks have gone out the window. Now, digital transformation is more important than ever. Now,…

We’ve talked a lot about headless. We’ve also talked a lot about e-commerce. We like to talk so – what if we throw these two topics together?   Headless commerce is a very logical conclusion – and the wider industry seems to agree. Some of you already know this but for those that don’t, we wanted to give a handy primer to cover all…

Mobile is arguably the most important channel for e-commerce stores to invest in. It’s continually competing with traditional desktop browsers for user engagement and the current state of mobile technology is such that a genuine shopping experience is very possible.  Or in other words: it’s no longer an excuse to say the mobile audience isn’t there, doesn’t want it, or…

E-commerce is booming: that’s no secret. What is worth highlighting, however is the sudden B2B e-commerce growth that’s often lost in the wider story. An industry that typically relied on in-person sales is now relying on digital sales more than ever.  While they may be ‘behind’ compared to B2C, this is also means B2B online sales can learn from the former’s successes (and mistakes).…

The technology sector is full of buzzwords. You’ve got your clouds, your hyperautomation, your internet of behaviours… but one term that doesn’t arguably get heard enough is multiexperience.  That’s mostly because it’s very similar to omnichannel – but it’s not the same. And that difference is often vital if you’re looking to implement the best possible digital experience.  So, here’s a (mostly)…
