Developed using SAP Commerce Cloud's eCommerce platform, the significant investment will ensure Viking's 1.2 million small and medium-sized customers will be able to find everything they need for their offices. Supported by its parent company, AURELIUS, Office Depot Europe is significantly investing in eCommerce across its businesses and initial findings show positive trends in orders, conversion rates and average order value, to name a few.

The new website enables our customers easy access to the workplace solutions they are looking for.

"I'm delighted about the positive impact the new eCommerce platform for Viking in the UK is having on our customer experience. Visitors are benefiting from our speedy and easily accessible ordering system, making the process much simpler."
