Key Highlights

Overview

Staub Marcel Gartenbau GmbH is a reliable regional partner in Switzerland specializing in Swiss Christmas trees and professional horticulture services. Known for proven quality trees at fair prices, the company offers Christmas tree sales, garden maintenance, horticulture services, and garden woodwork projects. With increasing seasonal demand, the company required a modern digital system to streamline its sales and service operations. MindSpark Technologies implemented a comprehensive e-commerce platform and service management system — enabling online tree sales based on location availability, structured salesperson scheduling, digital work order tracking, and mobile-based field operations for improved efficiency and customer experience.
