family of brands

DALLAS – Nov. 7, 2019 – Kibo, a leader in cloud commerce, today announced it is partnering with Calendars.com to further the online retailer’s digital transformation journey. After a thorough evaluation process of competing solutions, Calendars.com selected Kibo’s eCommerce solution to update the online presence of its brand.

Additionally,
Calendars.com plans to expand the use of Kibo to service its umbrella company,
Go! Retail Group, as well as its Shopfuego.com brand.

set out to find an ecommerce partner who could meet our current digital needs
and provide a more comprehensive platform that would allow us to grow and adapt
to future business demands,” said Paul Hoffman, CEO, Calendars.com.
