Following the takeover of Pronovias, the British investment group Cap Capital is working on the details of the strategic plan for the relaunch of the insolvent Spanish bridal fashion retailer. The most important key points have now been presented.
According to the management of Pronovias, a “new chapter” is now beginning under the control of Cap Capital. Management emphasized that the company will continue to focus on the cornerstones that have made it a force to be reckoned with in the industry, particularly by pioneering ready-to-wear bridal fashion. The focus is on design, quality, innovation and an international orientation.
The “new Pronovias” is relying on a renewed business model that is more modern, more connected and better positioned to lead the “next evolution of the bridal fashion sector”. The basis is the stability and long-term vision of the new owner.
“The company is entering this new cycle with a clear goal,” explained the management of Pronovias. The plan is to “strengthen the shopping experience, further develop the boutique model and accelerate international growth through a more robust, more approachable distribution network better tailored to the needs of brides.” Franchises would play a key role in expanding the brand’s presence and accelerating its development in strategic markets.
Franchises, US expansion and AI
The complete strategic plan is to be presented on September 8th together with a new store concept that is intended to create a better shopping experience and strengthen the bond with customers. This project is one of the main pillars of the concept, along with the strong focus on the US market and the use of artificial intelligence (AI).
Franchise stores will play a key role in the new business model in the future. The company explained that these would complement a streamlined network of its own stores. It is expected that the number of branches, which was 53 at the time of the takeover by Cap Capital, will be significantly reduced. This corresponds to the investor’s intention to reduce operating costs, as already stated in the takeover offer.
Another strategic pillar of the concept is internationalization, which is to be promoted in particular through a targeted offensive in the USA. At the same time, the company is sticking to its goal of further expanding its position in Europe.
Another focus is on the use of new technologies, especially artificial intelligence (AI). A project is being developed that “aims to redefine the bridal experience by integrating inspiration, personal advice, customer data and commercial capabilities in a more connected ecosystem.” Further details of this initiative are expected at the presentation in September.
Pronovias management summarized the key points of the concept in a statement: “We are beginning a phase focused on strengthening our sales channels, further developing the in-store experience and accelerating our international growth,” it said.
