Case Study: Standaard Boekhandel achieves scalable, future-proof omnichannel commerce with Virto Commerce

Standaard Boekhandel Opens New Chapter on Digital Commerce by Replatforming to Virto

Standaard Boekhandel, Belgium’s largest book retailer (about 150 stores and €200M revenue), needed to strengthen its position in a fiercely competitive online book market by delivering a best-in-class omnichannel customer experience. Facing limitations in their previous ecommerce tool—especially around scale, integration with cash-registration/point-of-sale systems, and flexible product/stock management—they replatformed to Virto Commerce to gain a more flexible, sustainable commerce foundation.

Working with implementation partner Delaware, Virto Commerce delivered a best-of-breed, highly customizable platform that integrated 200 offline points of sale, two webshops and 207 fulfillment locations, and now supports a catalog of 15 million products. The new Virto Commerce solution was deployed in about a year, processes thousands of orders daily, handles continuous metadata and stock updates (millions of updates daily), and gave Standaard Boekhandel the future-proof extensibility and performance it needed.
