The story of Winn Scandinavia starts with the two empty hands of a dedicated enthusiast. We never compromise on quality and always stay true to our ambitions and goals.
Winn Scandinavia
Their mission is simple yet ambitious: to make the world sound better by providing outstanding home and car audio products. With a strong presence in the Nordic markets through their webshop and 10 physical stores in Sweden, Winn Scandinavia is committed to delivering high-quality audio experiences to their customers.
Challenges
Before implementing SALESmanago, Winn Scandinavia faced several challenges:
- Fragmented Marketing Tools: The company was using three different solutions for email marketing, web push notifications, and text messages. This fragmentation made it time-consuming and challenging to combine data from different channels effectively.
- Limited Customer Insights: They struggled to understand their customers deeply, which hindered their ability to provide tailored experiences and relevant offers at desired level.
- Black Friday Complexities: The busy Black Friday period was particularly challenging. Communicating offers to different segments and utilizing real-time data for further actions required extensive manual work.
- Inefficient Segmentation: Creating new segments during high-traffic periods like Black Friday was a manual and time-consuming process.
- Lack of Personalization: The company found it difficult to provide personalized recommendations based on customers’ specific interests and vehicle models.
Enter Roials and SALESmanago
The turning point came when Roials, a Swedish martech business, reached out to Winn Scandinavia. Andreas Flemsjö, the E-Commerce Manager, was impressed by Roials’ personalized video message highlighting the potential of personalization and marketing automation.
Initially exploring options like Klaviyo, Winn Scandinavia was introduced to SalesManago through Roials’ partnership and recommendation. The all-in-one solution offered by SalesManago aligned perfectly with Winn Scandinavia’s needs for a user-friendly, affordable, and feature-rich platform.

The impact on Black Friday operations was particularly noteworthy
