Project Summary

Reef Technologies redesigned and rebuilt a just-in-time e-commerce platform in Django, implementing a complex tagging system that automates mapping designs to orders and drives fulfillment. The rebuilt, scalable system enabled the client to launch roughly 200,000 new products within a year and eliminated the need for prior in-house technical staff, producing substantial cost savings. The vendor was responsive and provided thoughtful, scalable technical solutions. The engagement began in August 2017 and is ongoing.
