Case Study: Scabal grows online sales 40% year over year with Shopify

Scabal grows online sales 40% year over year with Shopify

Scabal, a family-owned premium menswear and womenswear retailer in Bergen, Norway, faced the challenge of selling through a marketplace platform that undercut its margins and brand identity. Their previous solution, a custom-built website, was technically problematic and unprofitable. They needed a platform that would allow them to own their customer relationships and run the business themselves, leading them to partner with Shopify.

With the help of Shopify agency Appsalon, Scabal built a new Shopify-based storefront that synced instantly with their point-of-sale systems. The solution, which utilized Shopify POS and Sidekick, allowed them to quickly modernize their operations. As a result, Scabal exceeded its first-year online sales target by more than four times and achieved 40% year-over-year growth in online sales, transforming their ecommerce channel from 1% of total business to nearly a quarter of it.
