Building a digital unit & D2C brand
About the Herbert Neumeyer Group
“Healthy sleep is essential for people's mental and physical recovery. Our aim is to constantly optimize this,” Herbert Neumeyer once said about the vision of his current sleep empire. Founded in 1955, the traditional company has clear values such as quality, transparency and customer focus and has thus become one of the most important home textile manufacturers in Europe. High-quality box spring and upholstered beds, blankets and pillows are produced, constantly developed and sold through various brands such as Häusling, Frankenstolz and Centa-Star.
Despite rapidly increasing online sales in the Home & Living sector, the industry has seen slow growth in e-commerce in recent years. Challenges such as effective customer access and the split between stationary and online retail are increasing. In a very short time, the Herbert Neumeyer Group faced these challenges and found solutions together with Etribes. Namely digital business building.
“The industry is faced with the challenge of considering how do we get customers and how is this split between stationary and online retail possible?”

Project process & results
Digital know-how built up
How does e-commerce trade work? How does the consumer tick? What do I need to organize in-house? What jobs do I need to create so that we can achieve digital success? Which new digital sales channels are suitable for us and how do we use them? — We answered all these questions for employees of the Herbert Neumeyer Group and at the same time trained all relevant stakeholders in the basics of digital business in order to enable them to succeed and act independently.
A digital unit founded as a pilot
Digital skills were built up within the Herbert Neumeyer Group by training employees. This ensured customer-focused and agile work.
A D2C brand developed
In this way, the group was able to generate initial digital revenue, for example through distribution on marketplaces. It also enabled the Herbert Neumeyer Group to set up new joint digital business models and to sell directly to end customers.
With practical experience from founding start-ups, managing companies and more than 250 digital projects, we know how to master digital transformation.
