Case Study: DECOR-UNION achieves efficient management of hundreds of individualized websites with Sitecore

Cooperative Can Now Manage Hundreds of Individualized Websites Easily

DECOR-UNION, a German interior‑design cooperative representing more than 170 members and 230 stores, needed to replace an aging open‑source CMS that couldn’t efficiently maintain centralized content across 130+ member domains or support individualized, responsive sites and future e‑commerce/marketing initiatives. The cooperative selected Sitecore (Sitecore 7.0) for its enterprise performance, scalability, analytics and marketing automation capabilities, and engaged implementation partner evodion Information Technologies GmbH.

Evodion used Sitecore to build responsive, multi‑layout, multi‑palette websites and a digital asset management system that lets DECOR‑UNION create new member sites in as little as 30 minutes, push centralized updates quickly, and let members edit their own SEO and social content while protecting shared assets with granular security. The Sitecore implementation has streamlined maintenance, freed marketing resources for higher‑value work, and set the stage for planned Sitecore features like e‑commerce, personalization, analytics and email campaigns.
