With a presence in Saudi Arabia, Egypt and the United Arab Emirates, L'azurde has been a leader in crafting exquisite jewelry for over four decades. Known for its commitment to excellence and innovation, L'azurde produces over 3,000 different jewelry models each year.

After dealing with performance and integration limitations on Magento, L’azurde turned to BigCommerce and a composable commerce approach to scale with the company’s growth. Since its launch on BigCommerce, L’azurde has seen its conversion rates double in addition to overall sales growth and improved uptime and site stability.

With BigCommerce, we have a platform that prioritizes flexibility, empowering us to implement innovations swiftly and launch new features seamlessly so we can deliver amazing customer experiences and leave technical platform management to the experts.”

L'azurde recognized that a compelling online storefront was pivotal to their digital transformation. The company needed a platform that not only showcased their extensive range of jewelry collections but also delivered an exceptional and engaging shopping experience. L’azurde worked with BigCommerce partners to create a custom headless storefront that integrated seamlessly with BigCommerce’s ecommerce platform.

Leveraging the Next.js framework, L’azurde relied upon BigCommerce’s world-class partner ecosystem to build a modern, composable site that enabled L’azurde to manage its product catalog, inventory and customer data efficiently.

The BigCommerce back-end provides the infrastructure for ecommerce at scale, handling key functions such as order processing, security payments and inventory management.

Taking a composable approach gave L’azurde a strong foundation to deliver incredible customer experiences, no matter how customer expectations change.

With the advent of AI, augmented reality and other cutting-edge technology, BigCommerce allows us to integrate seamlessly with a diverse array of third-party applications and services. This freedom from vendor lock-in empowers us to use a tech stack tailored to our unique needs, fostering innovation and adaptability.”
