Digital transformation of consumer marketplace

ZIRA Group

Njuškalo needed a smarter way to grow a system that could handle millions of buyers and sellers, different business models, and keep things running smoothly.

Challenge

Njuškalo set out to build a scalable platform and improve the capabilities of its shopping portal. With over one million buyers and sellers, one of Njuškalo’s biggest challenges was managing a growing network of partners and different business models. To simplify this complexity, they needed a powerful, modernized BSS backend, one that could streamline how customer and partner relationships are handled across their entire lifecycle.

Before we started this initiative, we had no 360 view of the customer, many manual steps, bad quality due to missing validation, and a long time to market when we needed to introduce new products.

Why did we succeed? It hasn’t always been an easy journey to accomplish something this ambitious and transformative for our customers and our business. It’s about having top management support and then creating great teams between all parties involved and really sharing the same target end state. It’s complex to create business value: you need to understand the customer journey, touchpoints, BSS impacts, integration layer. We reached our targets and milestones by always keeping in mind the end customer as our guiding star.
