Krispy Kreme ANZ: Delivering Joyful and Delicious Experiences with Adobe Commerce

Behind the scenes of the standout experience.

Krispy Kreme ANZ embarked on a digital transformation journey to become an industry leader, utilising innovative technologies to extend their product offering to a diverse customer base across in-store, online and community fundraising customers. To achieve their vision, they partnered with Balance to transform their eCommerce solution to a cutting-edge Adobe Commerce platform, marking a pivotal milestone in the brand’s digital commerce strategy.

The challenge was to seamlessly blend the unique and delightful in-store experience of Krispy Kreme with the digital realm, creating the ultimate customer experience across all touchpoints. This called for an eCommerce platform that not only replicated the welcoming atmosphere and the friendly and helpful staff and showcased the full range of core products and promotional offerings but also introduced innovative elements that would capture the essence of Krispy Kreme’s brand mission.

The platform’s vision is centred around delivering the utmost customer experience, regardless of the chosen shopping channel, be it in-store or online. To achieve this, the solution design placed a strong emphasis on user experience (UX) throughout the design and development phases.

Recognising the importance of optimising their online presence and driving innovation, Krispy Kreme and Balance joined forces with Comma Consulting. Leveraging their expertise, Comma Consulting provided valuable insights and assistance in critical areas such as conducting in-depth UX research and optimisation, devising a digital acquisition strategy for major mobile-focused campaigns, and designing the overall customer experience.

By combining their contributions with our team’s expertise in commerce development, we were able to shape a solution that perfectly aligned with Krispy Kreme’s vision and ultimately delivered an outstanding customer experience.

To ensure a seamless and user-friendly experience, the Balance UX team, and Comma Consulting conducted extensive initial research prior to the launch, which had a significant impact on various aspects of the solution. Moreover, Krispy Kreme recognised the crucial role of enhancing its team’s UX and functionality for daily operations, making it an integral part of the solution’s design process.

The resulting solution has proven to be a pivotal tool, significantly enhancing business efficiencies and empowering teams to deliver exceptional customer experiences across digital channels.
