Project description

The task

DF Automotive is one of the leading online retailers in the tuning segment - with strong growth and a high transaction volume.

However, the technical complexity increased with each new payment method. Interfaces had to be customised, which tied up resources and slowed down the go-live of new payment methods.

They were looking for a solution that would centralise all payment processes, make them scalable and reliably cover future requirements.

Solution

The realisation

After reviewing several payment tools, DF Automotive opted for collana pay – a modular solution that can be flexibly expanded and provides a comprehensive test environment.

Despite it being peak season, the system went live. Thanks to thorough preparation, the go-live went smoothly.

collana pay has been integrated into the existing infrastructure. All the relevant teams quickly got to grips with the optimised processes – with no visible changes for customers, but with tangible benefits behind the scenes.

„[...] the go-live was absolutely problem-free. All departments quickly got used to our optimised processes. At first glance, nothing has changed for the customer, except that we can now offer a wider range of payment methods.“
