Integration solution for a new eyewear subscription programme
Synoptik is well known as one of Scandinavia’s largest optician and eyewear retail chains, and it is a current market leader in Denmark. In 2019, the chain launched an eyewear subscription service for its customers, initially via the chain’s stores in Sweden.
This service required an overhaul of their internal systems. Synoptik’s legacy systems were integrated with a standard solution that could integrate data based on several set criteria from the company’s POS system to its payment system.
Solitas’s speed in delivery was a crucial prerequisite for Synoptik, with focus on time-to-market with an MVP solution.
An Application Management Service (AMS) was added to the service agreement for optimal application and operation of the Synoptik App.
Supporting digital transformation
The technology choice for the solution was largely about meeting Synoptik’s digitalisation strategy. For this, we recommended an Azure-based solution that helps enable Synoptik’s gradual digital transformation by breaking down data silos. Working across legacy systems and new standard systems became easier through serverless services.
