“I was looking for a scalable solution to move us forward”
“I was looking for a scalable solution that my team can use to quickly deploy applications. What I’m looking for in a technology is something that’s scalable, something that is not monolithic, something where I can find people to come onto the platform and work. Kibo did a great job providing the API layer for the solution for us to move forward.”

“The thing that ultimately made Kibo stand out was just that it did everything well.”
“Kibo has the ability to define data really well in the back end, which many of the SaaS competitors are not as good at. And so we have some specific use cases where we need to tie pretty complex product data to say, the image gallery, or to other pieces of the user experience. And the ability to customize that schema to be able to do so was a real advantage for Kibo.”

Boscov’s Achieves Unified Commerce with Kibo
“Our system prior to this had been homegrown, great, worked for where we were, but it wasn’t necessarily growing where we wanted to go. So Kibo was the right solution to help unify things to really up our game digitally.”

A B2B Experience That Rivals B2C
Coastal Construction, a large independent distributor of speciality building materials in the U.S., satisfies customers across 12 segments with thousands of complex products across branch and warehouse locations throughout the East Coast.
For over 25 years, Coastal Construction has built their reputation on customer-centricity. When their Magento platform was EOL, Coastal sought a new B2B solution with capabilities that mimic B2C and could be easily managed by business users with minimal IT involvement.
