From fragmentation to focus: building a scalable, customer-first platform to unify brands, categories, and journeys.

Overview

Lippert is a global leader in manufacturing and innovation across RV, marine, rail, automotive, housing, and other industries. With more than 10,000 employees and over 50 brands, Lippert serves a diverse mix of customers—from everyday consumers and DIYers to OEMs, installers, and large resellers.In the digital space, Lippert had historically maintained dozens of microsites and brand sites, many of which had grown organically or through acquisition. But Lippert.com, the main B2C destination, had not kept pace with modern expectations—and no longer reflected the scale or sophistication of the company’s offering.

The challenge

Lippert needed to transform its primary digital property—Lippert.com—into a scalable, multi-audience experience that could serve as the “digital mothership” for the entire ecosystem. This meant creating a site that could:

  • Serve B2C customers across multiple product categories

  • Act as a hub for discovery, service, content, and support

  • Link into dealer, OEM, and corporate experiences

  • Scale to accommodate future acquisitions and brands

  • Share architecture with other key platforms, such as the B2B portal and warranty services

Critically, this needed to align with Lippert’s Global Website Strategy, which prioritized consolidation, reduced technical debt, and faster time-to-market for future brands.

Our role

Vaimo partnered with Lippert to lead the strategy, design, and full technical implementation of the new Lippert.com—a modern B2C commerce and content experience built for scale.The platform would need to support both commerce and non-commerce functionality, work across mobile and desktop, and eventually tie into Lippert’s future OMS, warranty system, and global CRM. It also needed to be built in a way that enabled Lippert’s own teams to manage content and expand offerings efficiently.

Key outcomes

  • A fully replatformed and redesigned Lippert.com, launched in 2024

  • Built on Adobe Commerce with a custom Hyvä frontend for performance and flexibility

  • Unified UX/UI across brands, categories, and customer journeys

  • Modular design system shared across other workstreams

  • Shared commerce architecture with B2B and future warranty platforms

  • Flexible foundation for future integrations (OMS, Algolia, Contentful)

Strategic alignment with Lippert’s vision

This B2C platform is a direct output of Lippert’s Global Website Strategy. It supports key strategic goals:

  • Consolidate fragmented brand sites and storefronts

  • Improve customer experience and digital brand expression

  • Enable shared technical and design infrastructure across teams

  • Lay the groundwork for future ecommerce scale and acquisition onboarding

  • Support international rollout and localized content over time

Lippert.com is now positioned as the central digital destination for the Lippert brand, serving consumers while linking into the broader ecosystem of brand, B2B, and corporate sites.

Strategic highlights

Previously siloed shopping flows and brand microsites were consolidated into a single storefront. Customers can now browse and purchase products across RV, marine, towing, and aftermarket categories in a seamless experience—with shared cart, wishlists, and account access.

The site was designed using a modular UI framework that allows future product types, brands, or layouts to be introduced with minimal development—accelerating time-to-market and simplifying site governance.

With Hyvä as the frontend framework, the site delivers extremely fast load times and strong Core Web Vitals performance—critical for SEO and mobile conversions.

We implemented structured navigation by product category and use case, and began planning for future integration of Algolia to power intelligent, personalized search experiences.

Lippert.com shares infrastructure with the dealer portal and future B2B tools, enabling consistent data models, component reusability, and reduced duplication of effort. The platform is ready for future OMS integration (Manhattan), product feed improvements, and inventory sync.
