Finnish Batteries

Suomen Akut has been selling a variety of batteries and rechargeable batteries both in-store and online since 2011. When the company decided to revamp its online store, it chose the Flowvy e-commerce platform, which integrates with the Jeemly point-of-sale system already in use. The new online store launched in February 2020, and since then, Suomen Akut has tripled its sales.

– I knew that Confirma’s Flowvy e-commerce solution was good, but this explosive growth still took me by surprise. Fortunately, we have large warehouses, and as an importer, we can quickly order more inventory. Otherwise, we would have had to sell out.

Boost Your Business with Effective Product Navigation

According to Rautionaho, the large number of orders can be attributed to a well-functioning system and increased visibility.

– Our online store is now really sleek, easy to use, and intuitive. We constantly receive praise from our customers about it. I still don’t understand how Confirma managed to build such a functional product navigation system for our store. Their experts really put a lot of thought into it. Right from the start, I got the feeling that Confirma genuinely wants to be our partner.

– And most importantly, our close collaboration has continued even after we launched our online store. The team at Confirm is always ready to bounce ideas off of us and help us develop our business. I don’t know where else I could have found friendlier service, Rautionaho says gratefully.

Growth from the online store is also benefiting the brick-and-mortar store

Suomen Akut’s online store ranks highly in organic Google searches, and the company has also succeeded in increasing its visibility through paid advertising. Thanks to the increase in sales, Rautionaho began planning the opening of new brick-and-mortar stores. Since 2020, Suomen Akut has opened five new stores across Finland, and now has locations in 11 different cities.

– Thanks to increased sales in our online store, we’ve been able to open new stores more quickly. Online and brick-and-mortar stores certainly don’t take away from each other; rather, they complement each other like a well-functioning couple. For example, when placing an order, an online customer can choose to have their order delivered to a Suomen Akku store instead of a pickup location and pick up the products from the store without paying shipping fees.
