Toyota: a custom-tailored customer experience
Toyota is a household name. With 11.2 million vehicles sold annually and revenue of approximately 186 billion euros, it’s the world’s largest car manufacturer. Despite being active in the German market since 1971, Toyota did not have an online shop for Germany or Europe until recently. This changed when Toyota launched a digital platform powered by Shopware 6, thanks to the dedicated support of the Shopware partner agency Webmatch.
What makes this online shop stand out
Toyota Germany managed to connect over 400 dealers within just four months while creating an outstanding customer experience.
One of the main challenges was ensuring customers could quickly and easily find the right parts and services for their specific vehicle models. “With Advanced Search, customers can simply enter their vehicle identification number (VIN) or manually select their vehicle model. The entire site then adapts in real-time, using Dynamic Access to show only the products that fit their car, making the shopping experience both accurate and hassle-free," explains Marie.
Another key feature was providing personalized service, regardless of the customer's location. Toyota addressed this by enabling customers to choose their local dealer, with the page adapting to show specific delivery and pickup options for that dealership – a benefit for both customers and dealers.
Overall, this project is a great example of how a well-executed ecommerce strategy using Shopware can create a seamless customer experience. Want to learn more about this impressive project? Check out the detailed Toyota case study.

Conclusion: B2B can do more
B2B shops often have a reputation for being outdated and not very customer-friendly. However, the examples from Marie’s selection show that it doesn’t have to be this way. A modern online shop can do much more than just display products. It can guide visitors, simplify their search, provide valuable additional information, and ensure they aren't overwhelmed by too many options. With the right features and a clear focus, a B2B shop can offer an engaging experience that boosts customer satisfaction and business success.
