Project Overview
Traditionally a B2B manufacturing company, ColArt were seeking to move into the world of multichannel retail, using a new website as their main driver. They required a scalable ecommerce solution for all of their brands that could be rolled out internationally, beginning with Winsor & Newton. After an exhaustive appraisal process, Red Technology was chosen to deliver the site due to the capabilities of the tradeit ecommerce platform, the experience of its technical team in delivering international, multi-site ecommerce projects and its successful customer portfolio.
