Falabella

Business Challenge

A South American retail giant, Falabella has multi-national operations and three major online retail brands in distinct regional markets (department store, home improvement, and grocery).

AAXIS Commerce first began working with Falabella in late 2009 when the company was seeking to re-platform its existing eCommerce platform with a more robust solution for its Falabella and Sodimac channels in Chile and Argentina and to open new online markets in Colombia and Peru.
