Case Study: HORNBACH achieves faster omnichannel retail experiences with Solace

Hornbach boosts omnichannel retail across 173 megastores with Solace

Hornbach, a major European DIY retailer with over 170 stores, faced challenges with its legacy point-of-sale system which lacked the flexibility and speed to support real-time insights. This caused delays in sharing critical data like price changes and sales records across its digital and physical channels, creating a barrier to delivering a seamless customer experience. To modernize its operations, Hornbach worked with Solace.

Solace implemented an event mesh using its event brokers to provide secure and scalable real-time integration across Hornbach's highly distributed systems. This solution ensured key data events were instantly available everywhere, which reduced time-to-market for new services and strengthened the omnichannel experience for shoppers with accurate pricing and product information.
