In an era where digital transformation shapes customer expectations, Coca-Cola Europacific Partners (CCEP) recognized the need to elevate its B2B eCommerce capabilities to deliver unparalleled customer experiences. As a leading bottler within the Coca-Cola system, CCEP services a vast network of Australian businesses with a diverse portfolio of beverages. Over 30% of its orders are processed through myCCA, a critical B2B eCommerce platform that required modernization to meet evolving market demands and leverage the potential of Salesforce technology.

The Challenge
CCEP faced several challenges that necessitated the re-platforming of myCCA:
Customer-Centric Approach: With a commitment to customer obsession, CCEP aimed to design a platform that prioritized user experience, seamless transactions, and personalized interactions.
Technological Advancement: Leveraging best-in-class technology to enhance platform functionality, integration capabilities, and overall performance to support thousands of daily transactions.
Data Integration and Visibility: Achieving a 360-degree view of customer data to break down internal silos and enable customer service teams to provide proactive and efficient support.
Hyper-Personalization: Tailoring marketing content, promotions, and product offerings to individual customer preferences to drive engagement and sales.
Accessibility and Scalability: Ensuring the platform's availability across desktop and mobile devices, with 24/7 accessibility, and seamless integration with back-end systems including logistics, invoicing, and finance.
The Solution
CCEP partnered with Merkle, a leading digital transformation agency, to implement a robust solution on Salesforce B2B Commerce:
Customer-Centric Design: The myCCA platform was reimagined to offer an intuitive and personalized ordering experience. Leveraging Salesforce B2B Commerce, the platform was designed to adapt to customer preferences, display frequently ordered items, and provide tailored product recommendations based on historical data and customer behavior.
360-Degree Customer View: Salesforce integration enabled a unified view of customer data, empowering customer service teams with real-time insights to resolve queries efficiently within the platform. This consolidation streamlined operations, reduced response times, and enhanced overall customer satisfaction.
Seamless Integration: Merkle orchestrated the integration of myCCA with third-party tools and systems using iPaaS (Integration Platform as a Service), ensuring smooth data flow between the eCommerce platform and CCEP's delivery management systems. This integration facilitated dedicated delivery windows and efficient order fulfillment, enhancing operational efficiency.
Performance Optimization: The re-platforming effort resulted in a 27% decrease in page load times, significantly improving site responsiveness and user experience. Customers benefited from faster speed-to-order processes and enhanced usability, contributing to increased engagement and satisfaction.
Mobile Accessibility: Recognizing the importance of mobile access, Merkle developed a dedicated Android solution for customers using Android devices, expanding accessibility and convenience across different platforms.

The re-platforming of myCCA delivered tangible results that underscored its success and impact:
Improved Operational Efficiency: Customer service teams reported a streamlined workflow with access to real-time customer data, leading to quicker query resolutions and enhanced service levels.
Enhanced Customer Engagement: The platform's personalized product recommendations led to an average of 3,000 additional product orders per month, demonstrating the effectiveness of hyper-personalization in driving sales and customer loyalty.
Customer Satisfaction: One month post-launch, Net Promoter Score (NPS) increased from 46.8 to 53.1, indicating a notable improvement in customer satisfaction and positive feedback regarding the platform's user-friendly interface and enhanced functionalities.

Innovating to Impact
The re-platforming of myCCA by CCEP in collaboration with Merkle stands as a testament to their commitment to innovation, customer-centricity, and operational excellence in B2B eCommerce. By leveraging Salesforce B2B Commerce and advanced integration capabilities, CCEP successfully transformed its digital infrastructure, delivering personalized customer experiences and driving significant business outcomes.
Moving forward, the success of this initiative reinforces the importance of strategic partnerships and continuous innovation in navigating digital transformation challenges.

“We wanted to embark on a re-platforming project that was going to deliver additional value over and above just maintaining the core. So it was critical for us to embark on a customer-led design process, resulting in our platform meeting the needs of our end users rather than our end users fitting into our technology.”Jane Lough - Digital Project Manager CCEP eCommerce Team
