Scalable Web Transformation for a Leading FMCG Brand With Pimcore

The client is a prominent Indian FMCG giant, known for its extensive portfolio of products that cater to millions of consumers across the country. With a diverse range of offerings, the company operates multiple brands that have become household names in India.

The company's existing website landscape was a network of 12 websites, some built on Drupal and others on .NET. However, the complexity of handling such a diverse digital ecosystem posed significant challenges in terms of efficiency and consistency.

Challenges

The client’s fragmented website infrastructure presented several significant challenges:

1. Inconsistent User Experience: The disparate platforms and technologies used for the websites resulted in a fragmented user experience, potentially confusing customers and hindering brand recognition.

2. Inefficient Content Management: Managing content across 12 separate websites was time-consuming and resource-intensive, leading to delays in updates and inconsistencies in information.

3. Limited Scalability: The existing infrastructure lacked the flexibility to accommodate future growth and changes in the business.

4. SEO Challenges: Optimizing multiple websites for search engines was difficult, potentially limiting organic visibility and traffic.
