Cases

The results obtained from standardising, optimising and automating far outweigh the investment made. Here are some cases that exemplify this.

Caso de estudio: Eroski

Cómo Eroski transformó sus operaciones CRM con Salesforce Marketing Cloud junto a Digital Response

De una operación manual y compleja a un modelo ágil, automatizado y preparado para escalar.

Contexto:

Eroski, uno de los principales grupos de retail y distribución en España, gestiona el canal CRM como palanca estratégica para fortalecer la relación con sus clientes y personalizar la comunicación digital a escala.

Como ocurre en muchas organizaciones de retail de gran tamaño, el crecimiento sostenido en el volumen de campañas, promociones y comunicaciones personalizadas fue incrementando también la complejidad operativa dentro de Salesforce Marketing Cloud. Lo que en sus inicios era un proceso manejable se fue convirtiendo en un conjunto de tareas manuales, pasos encadenados y dependencias operativas difíciles de sostener en el tiempo.

El verdadero reto no era únicamente tecnológico: era encontrar un modelo más ágil y escalable para gestionar las operaciones CRM, manteniendo altos estándares de calidad y mejorando al mismo tiempo la experiencia del cliente final.

Challenge:

Eroski necesitaba replantear y optimizar distintos componentes de su ecosistema de promociones automáticas y operaciones CRM. Los objetivos estratégicos del proyecto eran claros:

  • Mejorar la relevancia y priorización de las promociones mostradas al usuario.
  • Evolucionar la experiencia visual hacia un modelo más moderno y mobile-first.
  • Incrementar la capacidad de personalización y flexibilidad del sistema.
  • Simplificar procesos operativos y reducir drásticamente las tareas manuales.
  • Ganar escalabilidad sin aumentar proporcionalmente la complejidad de producción.
  • Mejorar la eficiencia global de la operación sobre Salesforce Marketing Cloud.

Además, el proyecto implicaba revisar tanto la lógica funcional como los procesos técnicos y operativos subyacentes, con el objetivo de preparar el canal CRM para futuras evoluciones y un mayor nivel de automatización.

Solution:

Digital Response trabajó junto al equipo de Eroski en una mejora de las operaciones CRM. El proyecto se articuló en dos fases complementarias, cada una con un alcance y una ambición propias.

Fase I — Sistema de Gestión Ágil de Campañas (ACM)

Digital Response adaptó su sistema propio de gestión ágil de campañas (ACM) diseñado específicamente para optimizar la producción y el control de contenidos HTML dentro de Salesforce Marketing Cloud. 

El resultado fue una reducción inmediata del tiempo invertido en tareas de producción y una mejora significativa en la consistencia y calidad de los contenidos.

Fase II — Gestión de Bloques Personalizados y Rediseño Operativo en SFMC

La segunda fase abordó uno de los retos más complejos del proyecto: reconstruir la lógica operativa de gestión de bloques de contenido personalizado, un proceso heredado desde la implementación inicial de Salesforce que acumulaba una deuda técnica y operative significativa.

El proceso anterior implicaba múltiples pasos manuales —extraer filtros, exportar datos, cruzarlos en Excel, revisarlos línea a línea y cargarlos manualmente en una landing page— con los consiguientes tiempos de espera y riesgo de errores. Digital Response lo rediseñó para hacerlo más ágil y eficiente.

Paralelamente, se modernizó el diseño de las comunicaciones aplicando best practices de maquetación, accesibilidad y experiencia mobile, y se reestructuró todo el código de scripts para eliminar errores acumulados y dar al equipo de marketing mayor autonomía y flexibilidad.

Results:

La transformación tuvo un impacto directo y medible en la operación CRM de Eroski. 

  • +60% de reducción en tiempos de producción.

La simplificación de procesos y la automatización operativa permitieron reducir de forma drástica el tiempo dedicado a la gestión de campañas CRM, liberando capacidad del equipo para tareas de mayor valor.

  • Mejor experiencia de cliente

La evolución visual y funcional de las comunicaciones mejoró su consistencia, relevancia y rendimiento, especialmente en entornos mobile, donde se concentra la mayor parte del consumo.

  • Mayor autonomía para el equipo de marketing

La reestructuración del código y la nueva arquitectura operativa permiten al equipo añadir nuevos casos de uso, ajustar personalizaciones y gestionar campañas con mucha mayor independencia.

  • Un CRM preparado para escalar

La nueva base técnica y operativa deja el canal CRM en condiciones óptimas para crecer de forma sostenible, incorporar nuevas automatizaciones y evolucionar hacia modelos más avanzados de personalización.

"Lo que antes requería múltiples pasos, horas de trabajo y días de espera ahora se ejecuta en minutos y con mínima intervención manual."

Conclusions and lessons learned:

Este proyecto refleja una realidad cada vez más habitual en grandes compañías de retail y ecommerce: el reto ya no es únicamente disponer de tecnología CRM avanzada, sino contar con un modelo operativo capaz de sacarle el máximo partido. La brecha entre tener Salesforce Marketing Cloud y operar sobre él con eficiencia real puede ser enorme, el equipo de EROSKI lo tenía muy claro, y ahí es precisamente donde Digital Response aporta valor diferencial.

Caso de estudio: Bimba y Lola

Bimba y Lola accelerates production of CRM campaigns thanks to Digital Response

About Bimba y Lola

Bimba y Lola is a global fashion and accessories brand founded in Spain, renowned for its creative, contemporary and groundbreaking style. With a strong digital strategy, the company has established itself as one of the most dynamic firms in the retail sector. Its commitment to innovation and close connection with its customers makes the CRM channel a key pillar in its marketing strategy.

Challenge:

With a presence in 17 markets and a steady pace of weekly shipments, the CRM team at Bimba and Lola faced an increasingly complex challenge: to produce customised campaigns for different languages, audiences and consumption moments.

The initial working method was highly manual:

Large volumes of information were managed in spreadsheets.

Content (texts, links, images) had to be duplicated and adapted market by market.

File generation for the delivery platform (Selligent) was slow and error-prone.

The result: the team was spending hours on each campaign, which created bottlenecks and took time away from innovation. Although the brand already had a high volume of mailings, the operations limited the ability to personalise, segment and explore new opportunities in CRM.

In a sector as competitive as fashion, where speed and relevance of the message are key, it was imperative to leap in efficiency and scalability.

Solution:

From Digital Response We analysed Bimba y Lola's entire workflow and designed a solution focused on three axes: efficiency, automation and scalability.

The proposal materialised with the implementation of our system. Agile Campaign Management (ACM) and the development of the internal tool "Builderdesigned to simplify and automate campaign creation processes.

Thanks to this new approach, the Bimba y Lola team was able to:

  • Centralise campaign management in a single, clear and homogeneous structure.
  • Automate repetitive tasks.
  • Reduce operational errors by eliminating most of the manual work of copying and pasting.
  • Export in seconds the necessary files to the delivery platform, ready to run.
  • Scale campaign personalisation across multiple markets without increasing the operational burden.

The impact:

The improvement was immediate and significant:

  • Reduction of production time

Campaign set-up time was reduced by 50%.

  • Increased shipping capacity

By freeing up resources, the team was able to increase the number of campaigns and creative variations.

  • Personalisation to scale

Messages adapted to specific languages, audiences and contexts with greater agility.

  • Agility in change management

Ability to react quickly to last minute changes.

  • More strategic focus

The Bimba y Lola team now spends less time on operational tasks and more on CRM growth and loyalty projects.

Conclusions and lessons learned:

This case demonstrates that, beyond marketing automation platforms, teams need processes and tools that allow them to to work in an agile and efficient way. In an environment where immediacy and personalisation are differentiating factors, having a specialised partner who understands both technology and operations is key.

At Digital Response we accompany brands such as Bimba y Lola in this type of transformation, helping them to making the most of its technology stackThe new system will help you to simplify campaign execution and boost your CRM and loyalty strategy.
