text: E-commerce case studyHow Millesima deployed generative AI in its e-commerce and brought the whole team on boardIndustry: Wine & spirits e-commerce | Company: Millesima (Bernard Group of Bordeaux)DEFINITIONGenerative AI in e-commerce: what are we really talking about?The objective was clearIdentify how artificial intelligence could remove pain points or address certain issues encountered in client projects. This strategic reflection would soon find a concrete application.THE CONTEXTWhen generative AI becomes essential for a wine e-commerce businessA European leader in online wine and spirits sales, Millésima is a Bordeaux-based company affiliated with the Bernard Group of Bordeaux. Its content team manages the brand’s multilingual communication: product pages, newsletters, blog articles, and documentary databases. A colossal volume. An uncompromising standard of quality.Brice, Content Manager and the company’s AI lead, was the first to see the potential of generative AI to transform his department. And the first to take action, as early as March 2023.THE CHALLENGEDeploy generative AI in e-commerce without fragmenting tools.In March 2023, Brice began experimenting with generative AI tools. The results were very promising. Soon, it became clear: if generative AI could impact his department, it could impact the entire company.But deploying generative AI across an e-commerce organization is not so simple. The market for language models is booming. OpenAI, Anthropic, Google… Each provider offers its own interface, accounts, and privacy rules.Without a unified solution and a dominant model, the risk is real: scattered data, incompatible methods, compromised security. It was necessary to constantly juggle between different models and providers depending on the projects and model releases. For a French company operating internationally, this was unacceptable.The solution was not yet known, but the need for it was perfectly clear."We couldn’t allow each user to create their own account with OpenAI, Anthropic, and so on."BriceContent Manager, MillésimaTHE DECISIONSwiftask to centralize generative AI in e-commerceSwiftask meets all these requirements: early market maturity, data hosting in France, and an interface designed for non-technical users.The decision is made. Swiftask becomes the official platform to provide Millésima teams with access to generative AI.Brice set out in search of a solution capable of meeting several non-negotiable requirements:Centralize access to all major generative AI models from a single interface.Manage AI agents independently, without advanced technical skills.Be accessible to business experts, not just developers.Host data in France, in compliance with digital sovereignty requirements."Swiftask addressed the challenges of a French company, with data hosted in France. It was an undeniable advantage."BriceContent Manager, MillésimaTHE DEPLOYMENTA gradual adoption of generative AI by the teams.Brice chose a gradual approach to bring the teams on board with this digital transformation.The three step method:Short trainingOne hour is enough to get started. No jargon, no overload. The goal is simple, every employee should understand what generative AI can do for them.Demonstration workshopsThe company organizes sessions to showcase what has already been achieved. Inspiration through example.Voluntary adoptionNo forced deployment. Each employee engages with generative AI at their own pace.The result is clear.Today, 50 users at Millésima have access to Swiftask. Among them, half use the platform almost daily, at least two to three times per week. The adoption of generative AI within the Bernard Group of Bordeaux has also been rapid. Executives immediately recognized the tool’s value."The pitch is fairly quick to make. And it’s quite easy to be convincing."BriceContent Manager, MillésimaUSE CASESGenerative AI use cases in e-commerce: where Millesima proves its valueAutomated translation of multilingual product pagesMillesima sells in many countries. Each product page must be translated into multiple languages, with the right URLs and links for each market.Thanks to a dedicated AI agent, the workflow is now smooth and accessible to any business expert:The product page is validated in FrenchThe generative AI agent automatically translates it into all required languagesLinks and URLs are adapted by countryContent is reintegrated directly into the back-officeThe multi-agent newsletter: a particularly successful generative AI use caseAmong all their generative AI use cases, Brice cites one with special enthusiasm: creating newsletters through a multi-agent architecture.The workflow is elegant:Agent 1 - Project manager: coordinates the entire processAgent 2 - Copywriter: configured with Millesima's editorial style, it produces sourced and well-structured contentAgent 3 - Layout: specialized in CSS/HTML, it automatically generates the visual mockup and imagesThe result: a complete, consistent, and sourced newsletter produced in just a few clicks.Other everyday generative AI use casesGenerative AI now powers many processes at Millesima:Text improvement and validation: proofreading, rewriting, and editorial consistencyInvoice matching with the product databaseCustomer repliesassisted by generative AITasting reports: owners record audio notes, then a Swiftask agent structures the reports so the whole team can use them"It is something I can do fully autonomously, and it only takes me a few finger snaps. And I find it fun, because this is where we really enter multi-agent mode, each with its own skill."BriceContent Manager, Millesima"The only limit is imagination."THE RESULTSGenerative AI is concretely transforming Millésima’s e-commerce.Comparison table: before and after adopting generative AIIndicatorBefore generative AIAfter generative AIGainTime to translate a product sheet20 minutesLess than a minute95% time savedAI tool adoption rate within the team0%50% (used 2-3x/week)50 active usersNumber of deployed AI agents0One agent per business use case (translation, newsletter, matching...)Automated processesTime to translate a product sheet20 minutesLess than a minute95% time saved"It’s truly an indispensable tool."BriceContent Manager, MillésimaA digital transformation accelerated since September 2025Since September 2025, the acceleration has been even more pronounced.

It’s essential.The real challenge? Getting employees on board with this digital transformation. And for that, you need a solution that unifies, secures, and harmonizes access without adding complexity.And the most compelling proof? Millésima had identified the need for such a solution even before knowing it existed."If we want to bring all employees on board, support them, and give them access to the main models, we obviously need an aggregation solution a solution that manages security, harmonizes access, and standardizes workflows."BriceContent Manager, Millésima"We realized the need for such a solution even before knowing it existed. The need was just obvious."
