Credera, a full-service business and technology consulting firm has been selected by The Container Store to re- platform their Web Site (www.containerstore.com). To achieve this, Credera will be implementing and customizing an enterprise open source eCommerce solution called Broadleaf CommerceTM.
“This is a great opportunity for us to help a leading, well-known brand and top-notch company to grow its business by providing a flexible, scalable eCommerce platform,” said Rob Borrego, President and CEO of Credera. “At Credera, we are committed to offering the right solution to our clients’ specific needs, and in the case of The Container Store, it was clear that an open source solution was the best fit.”
Credera and The Container Store initiated a partnership with Broadleaf Commerce, LLC to develop an open source eCommerce solution as part of the project. Broadleaf Commerce began development in 2008 and uses a robust, extensible architecture built on the Spring Framework, the leading development platform for enterprise Java applications.
“We were looking for a partner that would provide a flexible yet strong process, proven experience, and that would collaborate well with our team and culture. Thus, we selected Credera to re-platform our Web Site using the Broadleaf Commerce solution,” said Tom Birmingham, CIO with The Container Store. “The engagement has been smooth and successful. There have been no surprises and they have exceeded our expectations on this project.”
