Wool Warehouse - OpenMage

Wool Warehouse launched in August 2012 and have quickly grown to become the biggest independent mail order wool company in the UK, and featured in the Financial Times Fast Track 100 in 2016, 2017 and 2018. ReeCreate have been with them every step of the way, building the OpenMage website, a bespoke server setup working alongside local partner Simple Servers, and integration with their own in-house inventory management system.

The site features a bespoke OpenMage theme and extensions to provide some unique and interesting functionality, giving them an edge on the competition. ReeCreate also created a product import system that allows them to quickly add and manage new products and product images, integrated their newsletter system with MailChimp, and wrote server side management scripts to continuously optimise the site.
