The international digitalization, consulting and software house valantic continues to grow across Europe by joining forces with e-commerce specialist AIOPSGROUP. The new Competence Center focuses on global retailers with complex B2B and B2C e-commerce platforms. AIOPSGROUP provides a holistic service portfolio encompassing e-commerce strategy consulting and architecture design as well as development and implementation of complex e-commerce systems, platform migrations and 24/7 support. In addition to Salesforce Commerce, AIOPSGROUP also provides extensive expertise for B2C and B2B shopping solutions based on Adobe Commerce, Scayle, commercetools and Optimizely platforms. In addition, AIOPSGROUP develops custom, cloud-native software solutions based on the latest technology stacks.

Since 2017, analyst Gartner has consistently recognized Salesforce Commerce, which is primarily used by AIOPSGROUP and its clients, as a top-ranking solution in the e-Commerce Platforms category of its Leaders Quadrant. Coming in a close second is Adobe Commerce. In 2021, Salesforce Commerce experienced 20 percent growth, and continued to enjoy strong business growth in 2022.

AIOPS Monitoring solution boosts ROI by observing 200 KPIs for order, payment and sales transactions in real-time

AIOPSGROUP has created a monitoring solution utilizing the Splunk data analytics platform. This monitoring tool tracks over 200 key performance indicators (KPIs) in real-time for sales, payment, and order transactions, as well as monitors data exchanges with product information systems (PIM) and order management systems (OMS). In the event of any anomalies that could potentially indicate operational deficits, performance issues, or fraudulent activities, AIOPSGROUP raises an alert, ensuring its clients maintain exceptional levels of customer experience and cybersecurity.

Several successful projects showcase AIOPSGROUP’s capabilities. For sports equipment supplier PUMA, for example, it developed a highly scalable technology stack for its 20-plus websites and e-shops. And for luxury fashion brand MCM Worldwide, AIOPSGROUP utilized artificial intelligence to optimize the ordering and search processes for over 20 e-commerce websites, significantly improving store manager productivity.

AIOPSGROUP perfectly complements the existing valantic Salesforce cloud portfolio

valantic’s existing e-commerce and CX division is well-established, and the addition of AIOPSGROUP will enhance its Salesforce consulting and solution expertise. Thanks to their Salesforce Commerce expertise, AIOPSGROUP perfectly complements the existing valantic Salesforce cloud portfolio, which already includes Salesforce CRM, Marketing Cloud and Tableau. Hence, valantic can now offer its customers support for all relevant Salesforce Clouds thanks to its specialized team of 300 developers and consultants who focus on Salesforce solution technologies.
