Problem

Designer Eyes is a luxury eyewear retailed with multiple brick and mortar stores throughout the world and needed a unified digital experience for not only their customers but also for their operations team on the fulfillment side of their business.

This was a challenging project as SEO Brand had to figure out a roadmap for the solution we were proposing, while simultaneously rolling it out while not disturbing normal business operations.
