Treedom Customer Story

Founded in 2010 in Italy by Federico Garcea and Tommaso Speroni, Treedom's original mission focused on sustainability and tree growth. However, over the past 13 years, its mission has evolved to not only grow trees but also support local projects and communities. Treedom collaborates with NGOs and farming communities to establish thriving agroforestry systems that promote biodiversity. As a certified B-Corp since 2014, Treedom's business model generates environmental and community benefits. The company's dedication has garnered awards and investments, allowing it to accelerate tree-planting efforts and broaden its impact.

The Challenge

Treedom's previous in-house built platform wasn't designed to handle stock management consistently or support concurrent carts and subsequent transactions easily. These mission-critical limitations significantly impacted Treedom's ability to maintain and scale operations. To accommodate its future growth plans, the company recognized it was essential to shift to a more robust and flexible commerce solution that could address its requirements of today — and the future.

The Solution

Treedom's specific requirements revolved around seamless integration with the GraphQL backend and React frontend, eCommerce design freedom for user experience enhancements and complex stock process management for its diverse range of trees sourced from around the world. By migrating to commercetools Composable Commerce, Treedom gained a highly flexible and customizable commerce solution that could support its unique business processes and accommodate future needs. 

The new solution enabled Treedom to manage multiple markets, currencies and price lists effortlessly. The use of commercetools APIs allowed Treedom to leverage the platform's extensive features and integrate them into its existing infrastructure seamlessly. Additionally, the native integrations with AWS and Terraform proved to be valuable assets for its serverless architecture and event-based infrastructure.

We are thrilled with the improvements brought by commercetools. One of the most significant benefits is our streamlined stock management, which is crucial for our operations and a major asset for our company. Previously, we would spend a considerable amount of time trying to reconcile our sales with our inventory, ensuring everything was aligned. Thanks to commercetools, this has become a seamless process, saving us valuable time and effort. Additionally, the promotional code engine has been a game-changer for both our team and end-users. It allows us to effortlessly create various promotional flows without having to manually implement complex logic.
