Client & Project Brief

 

Client Overview:

A high-end retail conglomerate in Australia managing multiple luxury fashion and beauty brands under one parent group. Each brand previously had independent websites, technology stacks, and inconsistent customer service experiences, resulting in fragmented data and high maintenance costs.

Project Objective:

To unify all brand stores under a centralized Adobe Commerce Cloud environment, streamline maintenance operations, and integrate an AI-powered chatbot to provide personalized concierge-style customer engagement across all luxury brands.


 

Challenges

 

  • Multiple independent Magento installations with duplicated extensions and inconsistent UX
  • Manual release cycles with high deployment risk
  • Fragmented customer data across stores — no single view of loyalty or purchase history
  • Premium customers expected 24×7 personalized support without human delays
  • Brand teams needed autonomy while maintaining centralized governance

 

Solution Delivered

 

  • Migrated all five brand stores into a single multi-store Adobe Commerce Cloud 2.4.6 instance with shared product catalog, unified CRM integration, and brand-specific themes
  • Designed central governance layer with store-level permissions, analytics dashboards, and security controls
  • Implemented AI Chatbot “LUX-Assist”, powered by Azure OpenAI + Adobe Sensei, capable of:
    • Product discovery & fit recommendations
    • Order tracking and return initiation
    • Guided selling via conversational tone matching each brand’s personality
  • Automated CI/CD pipeline with Adobe Cloud Manager, enabling controlled deployments across brands in under 15 minutes
  • Established Adobe Target + Marketo integration for predictive personalization and automated luxury marketing campaigns
  • Enabled Power BI dashboards showing brand performance KPIs and unified loyalty analytics
