“Across the SNOCKS Group we want one setup that simply works. Speed Kit made OCEANSAPART noticeably faster without turning into a project for our development team.”
— Kevin Foitzik, Group Head of E-Commerce & IT, SNOCKS Group

Introduction

OCEANSAPART makes soft, feminine activewear for yoga, Pilates and everyday wear. The brand was founded in 2017, sells in Germany, France, Italy and Poland and ships to 30 countries. Since November 2024 it has been part of the SNOCKS Group, and its Shopify store sees around three million page views a month.

Challenge

OCEANSAPART moved its store from WooCommerce to Shopify in 2024 and had already worked on image weights and its database to make pages lighter. Large sales events, promoted heavily on Meta, bring sharp traffic peaks. After joining the SNOCKS Group, the goal was one setup across all brands of the group, without extra work for the small in-house development team.

Solution

SNOCKS already ran Speed Kit, so OCEANSAPART was added under the group contract. Speed Kit runs on top of the existing Shopify store and its own theme, without replatforming. The developers enabled the Speed Kit app embed in the theme, and Speed Kit took care of the rest. During the PoC phase, 10% of visitors got Speed Kit and the other 90% formed the control group. Since then Speed Kit has been live for all visitors.

Results
