Hush teams with Astound Commerce for new online platform

Fashion and lifestyle brand, Hush, says that it has broken its daily sales record, with transactions exceeding £1 million for the first time following the roll-out of a a new mobile first e-commerce platform. 

Hush selected the Salesforce Commerce Cloud (SFCC) platform for the project and partnered with Astound Commerce.

The latter worked with cross border selling specialist, Global-e, on the development of a stand-alone international site which allows shoppers to pay in local currency and use local delivery services for fulfilment. 

Rupert Youngman, Managing Director, Hush, says: “Despite the challenges of delivering the final stages of the project during lockdown the Astound team worked tirelessly to minimise delays while providing the highest levels of consultancy and technical expertise.”

“To see such impressive returns on our investment so quickly, with record daily sales exceeding £1 million, just one month on from going live, is testament to the importance of working with an expert digital partner, such as Astound, to ensure the long-term success of our business,” he adds.

Astound Commerce will manage support and upgrades with planning for the second phase of the project, the integration of a new ERP system, now underway.
