Project Description

Galeria Kaufhof offers its services to its customers on a multi-channel basis. To further strengthen the e-commerce division, the company has developed an online platform itself, in 2015. The highly efficient platform provides the technological basis for the strong growing online business and for the sustainable positioning of Galeria Kaufhof as a multichannel warehouse, emphasizes Klaus Hellmich, Managing Director of Multichannel Retailing, organization and informatics at GALERIA Kaufhof GmbH. In close collaboration with CareerTeam, an agile team of product managers, developers, designers, UX and platform specialists was established. Particular attention has been paid to the fact that all candidates have not only gained experience in an innovative and agile environment, but are also able to perform well in group structures. The agile development allows Galeria Kaufhof to work in parallel with various development teams and thus can quickly implement new applications. Also, it is one of the core competencies to quickly advance multichannel developments and services.
