British outdoor retailer Mountain Warehouse makes online move to BigCommerce headless platform

BigCommerce has announced a partnership with Mountain Warehouse as the outdoor retailer migrates from a custom built online solution to its headless platform.

It will leverage BigCommerce's Catalyst and Makeswift solutions across three brands and multiple markets.

“After a thorough evaluation, we chose BigCommerce because it will provide us with reliable, out of the box features and still allow us to customise our e-commerce experience, thanks to its strong API framework. This gave us the best combination of time to market and product flexibility to support our internal resources," says Simon Neale, Chief Technology Officer at Mountain Warehouse.

2024 RTIH INNOVATION AWARDS

BigCommerce was among the winners at the sixth edition of the RTIH Innovation Awards.

The awards celebrate global tech innovation in a fast moving omnichannel world.

Our 2024 hall of fame entrants were revealed during an event which took place at RIBA’s 66 Portland Place HQ in Central London on 21st November, and consisted of a drinks reception, three course meal, and awards ceremony presided over by comedian Lucy Porter.

In his welcome speech, Scott Thompson, Founder and Editor, RTIH, said: “The event is now into its sixth year and what a journey it has been. The awards started life as an online only affair during the Covid outbreak, before launching as a small scale in real life event and growing year on year to the point where we’re now selling out this fine, historic venue.”

He added: “Congratulations to all of our finalists. Many submissions did not make it through to the final stage, and getting to this point is no mean feat. Checkout-free stores, automated supply chains, immersive experiences, on-demand delivery, next generation loyalty offerings, inclusive retail, green technology. We’ve got all the cool stuff covered this evening.”

“But just importantly we’ve got lots of great examples of companies taking innovative tech and making it usable in everyday operations - resulting in more efficiency and profitability in all areas.”

Congratulations to our 2024 winners, and a big thank you to our sponsors, judging panel, the legend that is Lucy Porter, and all those who attended November's gathering.
