The Business
Easyparapharmacie is the leading online pharmacy in France. This family-owned business, established in 2007 in Nice, now has a global presence, a product catalog of 25,000 products, and 800 brands from the largest pharmaceutical laboratories. With a turnover of 27 Million € in 2019, 20% higher than the previous year, Easyparapharmacie expects to hit 30 Million € in revenue for 2020.
The Challenge
Previously using a renowned marketing cloud, Easyparapharmacie still lacked many technical resources critical for executing and optimizing their marketing. The time and cost involved weren’t translating into the returns the company had hoped for. Very few automations were possible, which meant that the team was spending a great deal of time performing manual tasks on a regular basis. Lastly, the segmentation was not optimized, which meant reduced visibility into the performance of CRM activities as well as an inability to understand clients on a one-to-one basis, or as a cohort.
“Thanks to its ergonomic solutions and a user-friendly approach, we have seen precious gains in time and can communicate 360° globally. For example, we can easily integrate digital communications and responsive emails. The SAP Emarsys platform makes our life easier, which wasn’t the case with our previous vendors.”
The Solution
Easyparapharmacie onboarded SAP Emarsys, integrating all channels (email, website, social media, and SMS) into a single platform, eliminating the need to navigate between different tools.
With data and channels connected, SAP Emarsys enabled Easypharmacie to build a complete view of customers, and use lifecycle analytics, segmentation, and automation to personalize email as well as website visits with targeted content like product recommendations.
“We use product affinity reporting and share it with our laboratory partners. It allows us to direct them more effectively in the strategies we are rolling out. We also use lifecycle analytics to better understand our audience and design our loyalty program. SAP Emarsys will be utilized for our loyalty project in particular.”
The Impact
By choosing the SAP Emarsys customer engagement platform, Easyparapharmacie now has a consolidated solution to execute omnichannel automation in an easy-to-navigate dashboard. The Marketing team — and the CRM team in particular — is more productive, better aligned to business outcomes, more empowered to engage existing and new customers with improved personalization and loyalty, and better equipped to execute e-commerce campaigns using the integrated Magento plug-in.
“We have great support from SAP Emarsys. Our contacts are very present and available, and helped me define with precision my CRM objectives and roadmap for the year. That’s a level of support I have never had with the previous vendors I worked with.”
