Case Study: Interflora modernises ecommerce and cuts hosting costs with Candyspace

Interflora reduces hosting costs by 20% with Candyspace in 9 months

Interflora, a leading flower retailer, faced the challenge of modernizing its three outdated and costly legacy ecommerce websites. Their custom-built platform had reached end-of-life, limiting development and making it inefficient to handle peak traffic. To gain a competitive advantage with a streamlined customer experience, they engaged Candyspace to select a new technology stack and architecture.

Candyspace implemented a cloud-native composable architecture for Interflora using Commercetools, Amplience, Algolia, and Pimberly. They launched three new websites in just nine months, which reduced annual hosting costs by 20% and doubled sprint release frequency. The solution provided Interflora with a scalable, next-generation digital estate and empowered their internal teams with new capabilities.
