TDS has been manufacturing individual bicycles and e-bikes for the Swiss market since 1934. Every customer, from the pedal to the handlebar, can determine what his bike looks like. In the course of the relaunch of tds-velo.ch, Arvato Systems not only implemented the design of the website, but also renewed the technology.

Arvato Systems was faced with the challenge of implementing a bicycle configurator with up to 1 million variants, yet still ensuring a certain overview and addressing different target groups from specialist dealers to customers. As in previous years, TDS relies on Magnolia CMS for this launch. We have updated it to version 6.0 for the new website and use modern frontend technologies and REST APIs to implement the configurator. This enables a good extensibility as well as flexible use on different devices.

Logo-BOSW-Award
Awarded:

In April 2022, we won the Best of Swiss Web Award Bronze in the category "Digital Commerce" with this project together with Tour de Suisse Rad AG.

Background Situation

The rebrand of Tour de Suisse was not reflected in the website, at the same time the mobile implementation of the old site needed improvement. The work processes of the specialist dealers are very analogous, TDS wants to push ahead with digitization.

Vision

To improve the Customer Journey on the basis of existing logics of the old configurator and to keep it technologically up to date.

Solution

On the basis of Magnolia CMS and its hybrid headless functions, a modern and flexible configurator including a website was developed.
