Complex Customer Experience Use Case

Bring Inventory on to the Site

Nothing more frustrating for a shopper than spending time searching for the perfect product only to find out it’s out-of-stock at checkout.

With Kibo, inventory data and search operate in unison, so shoppers only see items that are in-stock and purchasable. See how retailers like ACE Hardware are using Kibo to deliver effective search experiences and boost product discovery.

Complex Business Model Use Case

Each store sets it’s own pricing and has localized promotional strategies. Ace delivers all of that information online, in miliseconds.

Testimonials by Business Type

Commerce Leaders Reach New Heights with Kibo

B2B Commerce

“We just have a very different business model. We needed something that gave us flexibility to connect and build applications and had usability out of the box. When I started digging in with my team to determine how much flexibility we needed, I knew the tailor-made B2B tool we were evaluating just wouldn’t handle what Kibo could.”

-Director of Digital Strategy

B2C Commerce

“We selected Kibo because of the company’s strength in offering an out-of-the-box solution which minimized implementation time, as well as their collaborative approach and help in designing highly-effective process flows. With Kibo, we are able to offer our shoppers a true omni-inventory experience and improve their shopping journey.”

-Senior VP of Supply Chain

B2B/B2C Commerce

“We began as an exclusively wholesale company, so our B2B business has always been central to our operation. With Kibo, we have streamlined websites so that we can manage both our B2B and B2C business simultaneously using a single product catalog. Since launching, we continue to drive more of our resellers toward our self-service site, which frees up our customer service team.”

– Director of Marketing

D2C Commerce

“When we began the search for a new platform, we needed to know that it could support the growth of our direct-to-consumer brand. Kibo had the perfect blend of flexible front-end options, an intuitive and rich admin, tools our developers love, and an experienced and passionate team that is constantly working to ensure that we all grow together.”
