BURLINGTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Demandware®, Inc. (NYSE: DWRE), the industry’s leading provider of enterprise cloud commerce solutions, today announced that Guthy-Renker, one of the largest and most respected direct marketing companies in the world with distribution in 68 countries, is using the Demandware Commerce platform to power the digital commerce strategy for its multiple brands. Since its Natural Advantage® site went live in 2011, Guthy-Renker has launched six additional ecommerce and mobile commerce sites for Wen® Haircare, Proactiv®, Proactiv+, Malibu Pilates®, X Out™ and most recently, Meaningful Beauty® in December 2012.
Prior to Demandware, Guthy-Renker used a custom-built platform that was difficult to scale with its rapid growth. The company selected Demandware for its robust merchandising capabilities and flexibility to launch and run multiple branded sites on a single, cloud-based platform.
“At Guthy-Renker, we drive marketing for many key brands that consumers love. With Demandware, we have a flexible commerce platform that supports all of our global brands and enables us to quickly generate consumer demand with new offers and campaigns across multiple digital touchpoints,” said Julie Bauer, Senior Vice President of Digital and Global eCommerce for Guthy-Renker.
The Demandware Commerce platform provides the following benefits to support Guthy-Renker’s growth plans:
- A scalable and secure commerce cloud infrastructure that minimizes risk and allows Guthy-Renker to focus on the growth and innovation of its global brands
- Ongoing enhancements and innovations that can be easily applied across digital channels via automatic upgrades, without disrupting daily operations
- A centralized platform for developing and managing multiple branded sites across channels, including web, mobile and social
- A comprehensive, growth-oriented solution that includes all the capabilities to quickly expand across new brands, geographies and channels
“Guthy-Renker’s aggressive online growth strategy requires a scalable, easy-to-manage digital commerce platform, equipped to meet the unique marketing and selling needs of each of its brands,” said Jeffery Barnett, Chief Operating Officer of Demandware. “We look forward to working with them on the complete migration of its brand portfolio onto Demandware Commerce and supporting ongoing growth initiatives.”
