The brief
DVNT approached COG Digital with a brief to deliver the eCommerce responsive website and development which included the integration and management of 3PL shipping and logistic API’s for the global fashion brand; sold on shopping websites like The Iconic.
The brief from DVNT to COG went much deeper than building a simple website. The business includes local, national and global logistics and warehousing of imported products, plus a global wholesale and retail network. So, the digital solutions needed to consider API’s, FTP’s, SEO, SEM and 3PL’s.
With global wholesale distribution networks and offshore manufacturing and warehousing the entire business would needed a tailored digital platform to manage remote activities that included inventory stock control, international logistics and shipping, right through to front-end website eCommerce sales.
