Costa Replatforms Their Site on Salesforce Commerce Cloud
Costa is the world’s leading manufacturer of performance sunglasses. The brand got its start in 1983 when die-hard fishermen battling extreme elements came to realize the sunglasses they were relying on weren’t as hardcore as their adventures.
After seeing consecutive years of explosive growth, Costa began realizing some limitations on their current commerce platform and turned to CQL to launch their online store on Salesforce Commerce Cloud. We implemented their new platform and reimagined the user experience, enabling them to capitalize on the momentum they were experiencing in the market.
