From a limited platform to a future-proof e-commerce solution

With Afosto, Autosound24 gained the scalability and flexibility needed to achieve their ambition: becoming the largest car audio platform in Europe. Thanks to automated processes and improved inventory control, they can serve their customers better and prepare for further growth.

Flexible filters and enhanced customer experience

Afosto enables Autosound24 to offer advanced filters and product options, allowing customers to search by specific features like dimensions and compatibility. This significantly improves the customer experience, helping them find the right product faster.

Seamless international expansion

The ability to quickly add new languages and currencies allows Autosound24 to easily expand into European markets. This scalability supports their ambition to dominate the European car audio sector.

Direct and effective support

Afosto provides immediate support without long wait times. Issues are resolved quickly, increasing operational efficiency and avoiding unnecessary delays.

Complete inventory control

With Afosto’s WMS, Autosound24 can now better manage their inventory, including support for bundles and real-time stock updates. This reduces inventory errors and ensures accurate product availability.

Automation of complex processes

Processes like inventory management and shipping label creation are automated with Afosto, saving time and minimizing errors. This helps the team work more efficiently.

Efficiency in product information management

Afosto’s PIM system allows Autosound24 to easily and quickly manage and edit product information, even for large product volumes. This ensures consistent and accurate product data across the webshop.

The challenge: limitations in scalability and flexibility with Lightspeed

Martijn from Autosound24 encountered limitations with Lightspeed that hindered his ambitions. The platform struggled to support multiple sales channels, advanced filtering options, and expansion into other markets. He sought a solution that could grow with his business. His goal: to establish a webshop flexible and scalable enough to become Europe’s largest player in car audio without compromising the customer experience.

"With Lightspeed, we quickly ran into limitations, such as the number of sales channels and the ability to set filters. We want to become the largest webshop in Europe, and that’s only possible with a platform that can expand into any country with its own language and currency."
