Client

By partnering with NULogic, Forever 21 successfully transformed their Salesforce Commerce Cloud operations, ensuring stability, scalability, and superior customer experiences.

Forever 21, a leading global fashion retailer, operates a high-traffic e-commerce platform on Salesforce Commerce Cloud (SFCC) to serve millions of shoppers worldwide. With major sales events like Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and seasonal promotions, ensuring high performance, system stability, and seamless customer experience was critical. Forever 21 needed a specialized SFCC monitoring and support partner with expertise in performance optimization, load testing, and 24/7 stabilization to ensure uptime and seamless shopping experiences.

The Challenge

Forever 21 faced mounting pressure to deliver fast, flawless digital experiences on Salesforce Commerce Cloud (SFCC). Seasonal surges like Black Friday and Cyber Monday routinely pushed the limits of their infrastructure, threatening page load speed, checkout reliability, and customer satisfaction.  Without proactive monitoring and rigorous performance testing, even minor disruptions risked revenue loss, customer churn, and damage to brand reputation.

The Solution

NULogic partnered with Forever 21 to design and implement a comprehensive performance framework built on our Modern Commerce, Manage Commerce, and Maximize Commerce pillars.
