BAIKS (officially known as Suomen Polkupyörätukku Oy) is a bicycle chain founded in 1994, the largest cycling center for the whole family in Finland.

Background

As of 2017, Suomen Polkupyörätukku owns and operates 12 BAIKS stores in Finland. The company also operates a retail website in Finland, as well as a mobile-enabled website that allow customers to shop from the whole online range. The stores of the BAIKS chain offer personalized service and expert assistance to choose the right bike model and help customers with all the issues related to cycling.

During the overhaul of the brand image, BAIKS was in need of an omni-channel tool to reach-out to their customer and a place to combine all of their customer data from both online and offline to drive sales and start segmenting their customer base to fit their broad product portfolio. BAIKS wanted to be able to launch targeted campaigns, newsletters and also use marketing automation for product recommendations and cater the offering for individual customers.
