The biggest retailer in Europe launched its Romanian unique portal which brought together all existing online projects, as well as a new marketplace system.This is a new and continuously evolving project which fuses carrefour-online.ro shop, carrefour.ro institutional web site, the retailer’s own apparel brand Tex, tex.carrefour.ro, and the employer branding website — lumea-carrefour.ro — into one customer-centric experience.


Dedicated Scrum teams have designed and built the solution to integrate all the independent projects (carrefour-online.ro, tex.carrefour.ro, lumea-carrefour.ro and carrefour.ro - the corporate website) under the unique portal carrefour.ro, with two main technical components:

The Marketplace system - based on Magento 2 with Elasticsearch and Redis
The unified service - developed from scratch on top of Symfony, for cart & checkout.




Tremend delivered a complex architecture based on Magento2 that allowed Carrefour to catch up on a mature market segment.

The development was a big challenge from the scalability and total accessibility point of view. It reunites tens of Carrefour partners, over 150.000 SKU and an ever-growing number of end users. The products ordered online can be delivered anywhere in the country or picked up in any Click & Collect point in the Carrefour hypermarkets. This is a first for a FMCG retailer.
