Mister Spex Chooses Salesforce to further develop its Omnichannel Strategy

Mister Spex, one of Germany's leading optical retailers, has chosen Salesforce to realign its technological infrastructure. By moving from highly customized legacy systems to Salesforce's integrated platform, Mister Spex is reducing complexity, accelerating innovation, and laying the foundation for further growth. As a first step, Mister Spex is introducing Salesforce Commerce Cloud, including Order Management, for its online shop in the DACH region, as well as Salesforce Retail Cloud for its store network, which currently number 66 in Germany. Further expansion stages covering marketing, customer service, and AI-powered capabilities are already in preparation.

A shared foundation for online shop and in-store operations

By combining Commerce Cloud with Retail Cloud, Mister Spex is consolidating its previously separate webshop and in-store retail systems on a single platform. Until now, Mister Spex had been working with highly customized solutions that were becoming increasingly complex to adapt. By choosing Salesforce, the company is prioritizing standardization and best practices in order to sustainably reduce strategic complexity in its day-to-day operations. The goal is to accelerate innovation and more closely integrate online and in-store processes through a scalable architecture. The new solution is being implemented in collaboration with Salesforce Professional Services and will be rolled out gradually over the course of the year.

“We want to consistently reduce complexity while strengthening our ability to innovate. With Salesforce, we are creating an integrated platform that connects our online shop and stores while simplifying our technology foundation for further growth,” says Tobias Krauss, CEO of Mister Spex. “This enables us to focus on what matters most to us: a high-quality customer experience and sustainable growth.”

Consolidated data as the groundwork for AI and personalization

As part of the transformation, Mister Spex is centralizing previously fragmented customer data on the Salesforce platform, creating a single source of truth for the data history of its current base of approximately eight million customers. This unified database foundation will enable more personalized offers and a more consistent customer journey across online and in-store. The focus is on delivering personalized cross-channel customer experiences and making effective use of the integrated AI capabilities in Commerce Cloud, for example for intelligent product placement and more effective management of the online assortment.

At the same time, Mister Spex is preparing to modernize its ERP system next year in order to further harmonize backend and order management processes. In subsequent project phases, Salesforce solutions for marketing and customer service will also be integrated, while AI-supported use cases based on Agentforce will be expanded.

“We are delighted to support Mister Spex in the further development of its technology platform to drive targeted growth, innovation, and a seamless customer experience,” says Alexander Wallner, CEO Central Europe at Salesforce. “With our integrated platform for commerce, data and AI, we are jointly creating an innovative unified commerce foundation that supports growth through seamless omnichannel experiences.”

Regulatory requirements taken into account
As a provider of medical products, Mister Spex is subject to the Medical Device Regulation (MDR), among other regulations. Data protection, security, and compliance were therefore key criteria in selecting the platform. The new system landscape will not only increase technological efficiency but also ensure that regulatory requirements are reliably met.
