Webinar Recap: Navigating B2B eCommerce – The Movora Journey

The recent Movora Global B2B Digital Transformation Webinar shines a light on the fascinating case study on how one company successfully navigated this complex process, overcoming challenges and positioning themselves for future success.

The Journey Begins: Overcoming Initial Hurdles

Hosted by our very own Rupert Cross, the webinar kicked off with introductions from key figures in Movora’s digital transformation, including Korrie Wilhelm, Global VP of Marcom, and Justin Pizer, Ecom Manager at Movora. They were joined by Paul Dabrowski from BigCommerce, who highlighted the collaborative effort between Movora and its technology partners in driving this transformation.

From the outset, it was clear that while technology played a vital role, the success of Movora's digital transformation was also rooted in human partnerships. This collaboration was crucial in addressing Movora’s initial challenges, such as managing multiple legacy websites and ensuring consistent product information across different regions. By partnering with BigCommerce, Movora was able to streamline operations and build a more unified digital experience.

Key Milestones in Movora's Transformation

One of the key themes of the webinar was how Movora’s transformation was not merely about adopting new technologies but about rethinking their processes and integrating systems to enhance customer experiences. The integration of Akeneo’s Product Information Management (PIM) system, paired with BigCommerce’s B2B edition, played a pivotal role in improving product data management and streamlining operations.

This was particularly important in Movora's work within the veterinary med tech space, where customers often face tight time constraints. By centralising product data, Movora was able to ensure greater transparency and operational efficiency, ultimately enhancing the overall customer experience.

Future-Proofing with Headless Technology

A defining moment of the discussion was Movora’s decision to adopt a headless commerce strategy. By decoupling the front-end experience from the back-end processes, Movora positioned itself to future-proof its digital infrastructure. This approach allowed for greater flexibility in adapting to changing market demands. The use of APIs and an open-SaaS platform enabled seamless integration with existing systems, ensuring that Movora’s technology could scale alongside future expansions.

Continuous Improvement and Long-Term Vision

One of the webinar’s most valuable takeaways was the emphasis on setting realistic expectations while maintaining a long-term vision for growth. Despite challenges such as simultaneous ERP replatforming, Movora remained committed to continuous improvement. The company’s focus on gathering customer feedback, training internal teams, and refining processes ensures that Movora is positioned for ongoing success.

Movora's journey serves as a prime example of how strategic planning, technological innovation, and strong partnerships can create the foundation for digital transformation. With a customer-centric approach and a commitment to long-term development, Movora is well-equipped to expand its digital solutions and meet the evolving needs of its global customer base.
