Overview

Founded in North London in the 1940s, River Island is now one of the UK and Ireland’s largest fashion retailers. An icon of the British high street, it operates in more than 300 stores globally as well as ecommerce platforms. They are known for their stylish, affordable fashion.

The challenge

Despite its large high-street presence, 40% of River Island’s revenue is made from online sales, meaning that ecommerce is critical to the brand’s continued success. To create seamless experiences across all their physical locations and online platforms, River Island needed a tool that was capable of generating automated and omnichannel promotions.

They needed a solution that:

  • Integrated easily into their composable tech stack

  • Generated personalized promotions

  • Delivered automated and omnichannel promotions

  • Could run rich campaigns especially on Black Friday & Boxing Day

The solution

River Island’s original commerce platform was built as part of a monolith architecture, being customized slowly over 15 years. Following their decision to migrate to a MACH architecture (Microservices, API-first, Cloud-native, and Headless), they selected partners that offered best-of-breed services. They didn’t just want a tech vendor — they wanted a business partnership to work closely with their product team.
