The Challenge

ForestOne (formerly known as Gunnersens) approached Kobe Creations to do a compete overhaul of their existing website / digital assets.

ForestOne needed a complete redesign and development of a new customised Wordpress website in addition to an integration with Sugar CRM, and improving the method of warehouse order samples and the inventory management system.

The Solution

We created a brand new modern design from scratch to better suit ForestOnes business model and product variety. We chose to build the website on Wordpress with a WooCommerce eCommerce engine for product management, sales and samples. Wordpress was chosen as the site CMS due to the ease of use of the its backend along with the capabilities of WooCommerce being perfect for the needs of ForestOnes online store.
