The challenge

Viewrail, a manufacturer of cable and glass railing systems, needed to modernize an aging WooCommerce platform to scale multiple direct-to-consumer brands while reducing development time.

The solution

Viewrail rebuilt its storefront on commercetools' composable commerce platform, implemented in roughly 100 days, avoiding the longer effort of building from scratch or on separate accelerators and frameworks.

If we hadn't used commercetools, it would have taken considerably longer for us to build everything on the website from scratch or even build it off different accelerators or frameworks. We saved a ton of time and effort — and had immediate results.
