Zebrabox, the Swiss self-storage market leader, has comprehensively modernized its digital presence in collaboration with the digital agency nexum. The project focused on user-friendliness, scalability, and optimized digital customer experiences—key elements for the company’s planned international expansion.

The multilingual platform is already accessible via various country-specific domains such as zebrabox.ch, .es, .fr, and .com. The technical architecture was designed to allow for flexible rollout to new markets and locations.

From a technological standpoint, Zebrabox relies on a forward-looking headless architecture. In this architecture, the Drupal content management system is decoupled from the front end, which allows for greater flexibility in designing user experiences and simplifies the integration of additional systems. The user interface was built using React, a modern web technology that ensures fast loading times and high interactivity.

«For us, nexum is more than just an agency—they’re a true sparring partner with whom we grow and learn together. Our collaboration is professional, efficient, and simply a pleasure,» emphasizes Dominique Schaffner, Head of Marketing Switzerland & International Franchise at Zebrabox.

The modernization was carried out while the system remained in operation—a challenge that nexum successfully overcame thanks to a modular architectural approach and its many years of expertise. The result is a high-performance solution that is equipped to meet future requirements, both technically and strategically.
