European wholesale marketplace, METRO Markets, reports a digital transformation project powered by Storyblok. Launched in 2019, it was developed to provide a wide range of non-food products for the hotel, restaurant, and catering industries. Following a period of growth, with over 600,000 products and thousands of customers using the platform for their restaurants, food stalls, hotels, bars, and more, it became clear to METRO Markets that its website was no longer up to the job. Its outdated in-house CMS was cumbersome and difficult to maintain, creating bottlenecks and severely limiting the scope for new features and innovation. Storyblok was selected as the best external CMS fit to support its growth and ambitions by enabling a much more flexible way to add content and visuals and, in turn, make the business more scalable.

This approach has also enhanced the overall content experience for the marketplace’s buyer audience and increased traffic with a click-through rate (CTR) of 12% […]

KPMG International has published its KPMG global tech report 2024 , which explores the tech strategies employed by organizations across the globe to deliver value against a backdrop of swift tech advancements and the accompanying industry excitement. It also examines how organizations have balanced their need to keep up with the pace of change with the importance of prioritizing initiatives based on their business value despite the temptation to make hurried business decisions for fear of falling behind or missing out. According to the new report in which more than 2,450 tech execs worldwide were surveyed, the industry is getting better at identifying and delivering value with many areas displaying measurable improvements on last year.
