Helping Currys win at peak trading

 

How a stable, scalable testing partnership delivered a 29% uplift in online conversion...
 

The challenge

Currys, a leading tech retailer operating in eight countries, needed:

  • A Salesforce Commerce Cloud platform to support ambitious online growth across eight countries and 823 stores.
  • A mature, structured testing capability to manage frequent, large-scale changes.
  • Confidence and reliability in moving towards a regular release cadence.

Our approach

  • A holistic testing and release framework covering manual regression, functional, performance, non-functional, security, and penetration testing.
  • A continuous change service through structured business-as-usual (BAU) testing capacity alongside the Salesforce programme.
  • Close engagement with business stakeholders for UAT and ensured thorough sign-off processes feeding into go/no-go release decisions.

Impact

  • A solid, scalable online platform capable of handling peak trading periods contributing to a 29% year-on-year improvement in online conversion during peak trading.
  • A reliable cadence of fixes and enhancements through regular releases.

"From our work with Spike, we've seen a reduction in production incidents and improved stability and performance around releases. This continues to increase stakeholder confidence in our platforms and reduces costs from needing to respond to incidents and rework release features"
