Case Study: World of Books Group achieves faster, scalable, cloud-native commerce with commercetools

World of Books opened a new page in amazing user experiences with a website that performs flawlessly

World of Books, a UK-based retailer that resells used books through its own sites and marketplaces like Amazon, needed to modernize its commerce platform and migrate its UK website after a successful Australian move. To achieve a future-ready architecture and improve site performance and customer experience, World of Books partnered with commercetools and adopted its cloud-native, API-first, headless commerce platform built on microservice architecture.

commercetools implemented a modular, cloud-based microservices solution that unified inventory and pricing across Amazon, eBay and more than 20 other marketplaces, enabled auto-scaling, and delivered an updated navigation and optimized checkout. The result was a substantially faster, more agile website where customers find and purchase books with fewer clicks, real-time inventory management across channels, and a platform that supports continued growth and responsiveness to market demand — all delivered by commercetools.
