Unifying eCommerce to Lead the Fine Cheese Industry Online

Context

Modernizing a historic family brand

Founded in 1989 in Saint-Antoine-de-Tilly, Fromagerie Bergeron has earned its reputation as Canada’s Gouda master, known for its signature red wax coating. Driven by values of authenticity, innovation and leadership, this family-owned business blends time-honored cheesemaking expertise passed down through generations with a constant drive to meet the demands of today’s fast-evolving market. Starting in the early 2000s, the company launched a strategic shift with three major facility expansions, modernizing its operations while staying true to its high-quality dairy products. Today, Fromagerie Bergeron strikes a perfect balance between tradition and ambition, proudly rooted in Québec’s rich terroir.

“The Novatize team proved to be a true trusted partner. Always attentive, responsive, and highly professional, they delivered a site that truly reflects our brand. We were pleasantly surprised by how smooth the process was and how fast everything came together, without a single misstep.”

Mandate

Accelerating Fromagerie Bergeron’s digital transformation

The mandate was to unify the brand’s two existing websites, a corporate showcase and an eCommerce storefront, into a single Shopify platform. This consolidation aimed to simplify technical maintenance, reduce third-party dependency, and deliver an elevated online experience that aligns with customer expectations. A tailored training program also enabled eCommerce managers to take full ownership of the platform.

Objectives

Building a high-performance digital channel

The goal was to launch a scalable Shopify site as a solid foundation for future eCommerce operations. This redesign supports online sales growth, strengthens brand image, highlights the company’s distinctive cheese products, and encourages in-store purchases at major retailers like grocery chains and Costco. It also provides an intuitive content management system (CMS) to empower the Fromagerie Bergeron team with greater autonomy in making site updates.

Results

Launching a unified eCommerce experience on Shopify

Fromagerie Bergeron now benefits from a high-performance digital platform that combines its brand storytelling and eCommerce under one roof. The streamlined ecosystem allows internal teams to fully manage online operations, while the project itself was delivered smoothly, on time, and on budget.
