Knives and Tools faced the monumental task of modernising their ecommerce presence amidst growing international demands.

At the heart of our technological evolution is the ability to rapidly iterate on the customer experience. Our choice of technology unlocks unparalleled opportunities to tailor ecommerce solutions that not only meet but exceed customer expectations, providing a seamless, engaging shopping journey.
Transitioning from a classic ASP application to a modern, composable commerce solution enabled Knives and Tools to not only enter new markets like Ireland, Spain, Italy, Denmark, and Sweden but also to set the stage for future growth. This strategic shift to a MACH architecture underscored our commitment to flexibility, scalability, and innovation. By working with partners including commercetools, Amplience, and Akeneo and building on an AWS cloud-hosted platform, we were able to leverage best-in-class SaaS solutions to rapidly deliver value and enable a programme of continuous improvement.
