This is extremely helpful for us.by Peter van Os, Product Owner Digital Sales, Dutch Flower Group
The customer challenge
If you have bought flowers recently, they likely came via a Dutch Flower Group company. Dutch Flower Group is a unique family of more than 30 specialized trading companies, who together serve the entire international floriculture chain. They deliver top quality fresh cut flowers, mixed bouquets, plants and decorative greens to their customers. Via whom a weekly average of 75 million flowers, 10 million bouquets and 15 million plants find their way to consumers around the world. With more than 5,200 employees, Dutch Flower Group supplies all distribution channels, from importing wholesalers (who supply florists) to the multiple retail sectors (including supermarket chains, DIY centers, garden centers and petrol stations) and e-tailers.
While introducing the new e-commerce solution, SAP Commerce Cloud, across five sales business units and 20 production sites, Dutch Flower Group was undergoing a massive organizational transition and needed to ensure effective onboarding of their customers and support in the moment of need. Customers, however, struggled to adapt to the new system, making numerous calls to support teams, as overall user frustration ran high. Thus, Dutch Flower Group turned to the Userlane Digital Adoption Platform to address these challenges.
How we helped
Userlane helped streamline the onboarding of over 10,500 customer users worldwide, all while enabling Dutch Flower Group to create interactive content in 24 languages for their customers. With Userlane’s in-app training, users were guided through new and uncommon tasks at the point of need and in real-time, allowing task automation and enabling self-service.
Allowing decentralized content creation
The shift to the new SAP Commerce Cloud system and new self-service processes had their challenges. Every sales business unit wanted to be in charge of how they worked with Userlane and have the liberty to create in-app content based on what their users valued the most. Userlane made it possible to plan, maintain and update content within minutes and completely independently, ensuring that every user group had all necessary information and support.
Ensuring a great customer experience
Onboarding is just one part of the deal; consistent knowledge retention is another story. The main goal when implementing Userlane was to make it easy for customers to work with the new system and complete necessary processes, even if they had not done so in a long time since the initial onboarding. Thanks to Userlane interactive guidance, every user can now quickly and easily navigate the SAP Commerce Cloud system and complete their tasks with minimum confusion or disruption. As a result, time spent on software training reduced dramatically, and the efficiency increased significantly.
Offering support around the clock
As Dutch Flower Group runs its operations all over the world, timely customer support is essential, especially when dealing with customers in different time zones. Therefore, Userlane has become an integral part of Dutch Flower Group’s customer support strategy, offering guidance and help in the moment of need and around the clock.

Training and support staff spent less time creating and updating training material, and customers were more satisfied and efficient, completing their orders in the SAP Commerce Cloud system.

They appreciate the opportunity to create and manage their own in-app guides and content while having support from our central team assisting whenever needed.
