We directly had a working piece of software after just 2.5 days of hands-on workshop. That fast-prototyping experience was crucial in our decision.

Challenge

Bosch Home Comfort Group operated multiple disconnected loyalty programs across Europe — each running on different rules, product catalogs, and backend systems. This fragmentation made it nearly impossible to get a unified view of partner activity or product usage, and it severely limited Bosch’s ability to scale or align loyalty efforts across regions.

Solution

Bosch selected Virto Commerce following a rapid prototyping workshop — a working piece of software was ready in just 2.5 days. The loyalty portal was built on top of Virto’s flexible, headless Commerce Innovation Platform, designed to scale across brands, markets, and fulfillment networks without structural rework.

Key elements of the unified solution:

Modular, API-first backend fully compatible with Bosch’s existing .NET/C# stack

Points-based rewards model with localized conversion factors per country

Automated nightly catalog updates and product imports across 22,000+ SKUs

Custom-built fulfillment logic integrated with 115+ providers

50+ brand-country storefront configurations

Installer self-service: product registration, loyalty point redemption, training access, and documentation

Result

What started as a project to consolidate fragmented loyalty programs has evolved into a central digital hub for Bosch’s European installer network. The platform has scaled continuously since 2017 — from 5,000 first-year orders to 35,000+ annually — without requiring structural rework. It is now a mission-critical part of how Bosch engages and retains its trade partner network across Europe.
