The question
How do you manage, organise, and publish content in 45+ countries across the world? With a flexible, scalable digital infrastructure, as it turns out. Allow us to explain.
Nutricia Worldwide is a division of Nutricia that controls the digital infrastructure for 45 countries across Latin America, Europe, and Asia. Key countries for this division include Serbia, Bulgaria, Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan, Sri Lanka, South Korea, Ecuador, Mexico, and Panama.
This digital infrastructure must be a cost-effective, integrated stack of technologies — software and hardware — which powers user experiences that drive customer engagement, sales, and loyalty.
This setup must allow for local adaptations, including design changes, local language URLs, and accessibility support. The separate websites must be part of one structure, yet be managed independent from each other.
No simple feat, in other words.
Manage digital content for 45+ countries.
A digital infrastructure based on an adaptable WordPress blueprint.
Nutricia and iO
Nutricia is a Dutch brand dedicated to therapeutic food and infant formula. The brand has been producing infant milk formula since 1896 and started producing specialised milk products in 1905. Just over 100 years later, in 2007, Nutricia joined French food products group Danone. Since 2018, Nutricia has been a client of iO.
The solution
Within months from the start of the project, iO developed an adaptable WordPress blueprint across different Nutricia brands and regions.
The stack included:
A user-friendly WordPress CMS setup that is adaptable and flexible across multiple countries, languages, and brands;
The setup and implementation of a CRM and marketing automation system that covers personalised customer journeys in all countries;
A mobile-first approach, since 85% of traffic comes from mobile devices;
An always-on traffic acquisition layer that covers both SEO and SEA in supporting local stakeholders.
Our teams worked in close collaboration with the Nutricia Worldwide team — with weekly review stand-up meetings, bi-weekly meetings with the external product owner, and retrospective meetings to discuss what went well and what could be improved.
Harnessing the power of WordPress
When looking for a …
cost-effective platform …
that is easy to manage, …
has a strong focus on SEO, …
supports a multi-language setup, …
has a logical page hierarchy, …
… WordPress comes out on top.
It’s the best platform to manage websites independently — while they still fall under one structure — and it seamlessly integrates tools like Cloudflare, BugHerd, Gigya CRM, and Danone’s own Poop Checker.
