Kavat
From classic Retail to Unified Commerce
Kavat approached Youwe for support in setting up their digital e-commerce channel, aiming to create a central place for both consumers and B2B customers. Within 16 weeks, we realized the first version of their new webshop, followed by the launch of the B2B portal, Retailer Central. Working with Youwe, Kavat now has a solid digital platform that effectively serves both customers and retailers and is ready for further growth.
Our partnership with KAVAT began in 2020, when they took on the challenge of growing their e-commerce and revamping their digital look and feel. Customers expected a consistent experience whether they purchased online or in-store. In addition, KAVAT wanted to expand abroad, which presented localization challenges that needed to be meticulously addressed.
KAVAT sought a partner who could think from their brand and help them achieve these goals. That's how they ended up with Youwe. With our offices in multiple countries, we were able to support them with local insights, such as culture-sensitive approaches and payment preferences. In addition, our B2B specialty helped KAVAT with more complex processes, such as advanced pricing models, order management and logistics-essential for the fashion industry, where seasonality and inventory management play a big role.

KAVAT wanted to be able to grow in more markets and completely remove the barriers between online and offline. To do this, it was looking for an eCommerce solution and agency that could scale with it and serve consumers as well as business customers.
Our solution
Omnichannel eCommerce platform
Our first assignment for KAVAT was to launch a new webshop adapted for modern e-commerce. Together with WH Group, we built an integrated e-commerce solution based on Adobe Commerce, a scalable platform with the ability to showcase tens of thousands of products. In just 16 weeks, we launched the first version of KAVAT's new webshop, and shortly afterwards we also launched their B2B portal: Retailer Central.
Since then, KAVAT has worked with us at Youwe to further develop their digital channel. One example of this is the choice of Sitoo's new POS system, which we integrated with both Adobe Commerce and Visma Business together with WH Group. This laid the foundation for us at Youwe to create omnichannel flows between KAVAT's online sales and their physical stores.
The results
Never again NO
And the result? Thanks to our partnership, KAVAT now has a fully integrated e-commerce platform that offers customers a seamless experience, whether they are shopping online, standing in a KAVAT store or ordering through the B2B portal.
With the implementation of Adobe Commerce, all sales channels are now digitally connected, meaning no more "no" in-store sales. Thanks to this digital transformation, KAVAT can continue to grow internationally and promote its brand even more strongly.
