Carclean: 12 Shopware product finders, 68× as much revenue as cost

Carclean product recommendations from a BerryPath Flow widget in a Shopware store.

Carclean sells specialist products for washing, protecting and detailing cars. In the showroom, the team naturally asks the right follow-up questions. Online, that is harder: shoppers often know the result they want, but not yet which product will get them there.

Carclean uses BerryPath to bring that knowledge into the webshop. With the BerryPath Shopware plugin, the first Flow widget was running in Shopware within 30 minutes. Today, 12 product finders guide shoppers across different product groups. Measured revenue from assisted orders is 68 times higher than what Carclean pays for BerryPath.

The Carclean product finders in action

This short video shows how the Flow widget guides shoppers from a recognisable question to focused product advice within the existing Shopware experience.

The goal: make showroom advice scalable

Car care is not a category where one filter always produces the answer. The right choice can depend on the surface, contamination, existing protection, experience, available tools and the desired finish.

Carclean can quickly gather that context in the showroom or through customer service. Its product finders do the same online. They start with a recognisable job and ask only the follow-up questions that actually change the recommendation.

Live in 30 minutes with the BerryPath Shopware plugin

Carclean runs on Shopware. The BerryPath Shopware plugin kept the technical step small, without requiring a storefront rebuild. The plugin is also publicly available on GitHub.

The first placement involved a few focused steps:

  • install the Shopware plugin;
  • copy the published Flow code from BerryPath;
  • allow the webshop domain for embedding;
  • place the Flow widget in the right Shopping Experience;
  • check the experience on desktop and mobile.

The technical base was ready after about 30 minutes. The work after that went into improving the advice: sharpening questions, connecting product data, checking the matching and aligning the Styling with Carclean.

Shoppers see a focused shortlist instead of a long product grid, with the best match first and helpful context for each recommendation.

From one placement to 12 product finders

The fast implementation made it easy to start small. Carclean could launch one category, learn from real shoppers and then reuse the same technical foundation.

There are now 12 product finders for different buying questions, including car shampoos, foams and pre-wash products, and polishing machines. The questions differ by category, but the approach stays consistent:

  • start with the job or desired result;
  • ask only about properties that change the choice;
  • connect answers to existing product data;
  • show a clear best match and relevant alternatives;
  • send the shopper to the right product page.

New product finders therefore do not require a new Shopware integration. The team manages content and matching in BerryPath, while the same plugin places Flow widgets where shoppers need guidance.

Recurring showroom questions become a short visual advice route that can be adapted for each product group.

Product expertise lives in the matching

A product finder only becomes useful when each relevant answer influences the outcome. Carclean's matching uses product properties such as surface, finish, protection level, application method and use case.

Shoppers no longer need to understand every technical difference themselves. The product finder translates a practical question into the same trade-offs a showroom specialist would make.

Matching rules connect every relevant answer to product data, keeping it clear why a product is or is not recommended.

68× as much revenue as cost

The 12 product finders are more than an extra service layer. Analytics show which shoppers complete an advice route, click a recommended product and go on to order.

Based on that measurement, every euro Carclean pays for BerryPath corresponds to 68 euros in revenue from orders where a product finder was used. This is a ratio of measured revenue to subscription cost, not a claim of 68 times profit. It does show that the product finders support substantially more value than the subscription costs.

The operational effect matters too: shoppers can resolve more of their buying question independently. The team has more time left for questions that genuinely need personal attention.

What this Shopware case shows

A product finder does not need to become a large technical implementation project. Carclean's first Shopware placement was ready within 30 minutes. The team could then improve the content at its own pace and expand the approach to 12 different advice routes.

The combination works because each part keeps a clear role: Shopware manages catalog and checkout, BerryPath manages questions and matching, and the Flow widget brings guidance to the moment where shoppers hesitate.

Quick answers

Do I need to rebuild my storefront?
No. BerryPath publishes a lightweight Flow widget that can be placed in an existing storefront.
Can I keep my own styling?
Yes. The widget can be styled to match the webshop, so product advice feels like part of the same buying journey.
How does product data stay useful?
Connect product data through feeds, uploads or platform data, then use attributes and rules for matching.
Can this work without a native plugin?
Yes. A lightweight Flow widget can usually be embedded with a script or tag manager when a native plugin is not available.
What should we test before publishing?
Check mobile layout, styling, product links, tracking events and whether recommendations still make sense with real product data.
Where is the safest first placement?
Start with a category, buying guide or landing page where visitors compare options. Product pages can follow when the advice helps confirm fit or alternatives.
