The GPE Group brings together the Sergent Major, Natalys and Du Pareil Au Même brands. Founded in 1987, the group is a major player in children’s ready-to-wear fashion, known for its excellent creativity-quality-price ratio that meets mothers’ and children’s expectations. GPE has 1,000 stores, with 600 in France and 400 abroad (Europe, Middle East and Asia) for €350 million in turnover and 3,500 employees.
GPE wanted to enter new markets and sell its products internationally. The company needed a reliable solution that would allow them to ship products to new countries and offer services adapted to new markets for a personalized customer journey.

To help GPE set the stage for its international expansion, OSF Digital developed a powerful ecommerce solution based on Salesforce Commerce Cloud and launched online stores for GPE’s three brands: Du Pareil au Même, Sergent Major and Natalys. This new solution serves as a HUB site for all new locales. We also integrated Salesforce Commerce Cloud with Global-E, a smart cross-border solution, so GPE can provide a localized experience to shoppers, avoid the complexities of cross-border selling and add sales opportunities in new markets.
Used custom code to allow merchandising on the storefronts for each locale.
A key element of HUB sites, dynamic customer groups enable the creation of campaigns based on location.
Implemented a solution that enables each locale to have its own specific inventory.
Integrated market-specific payment gateways.
