B2B Shopify Development Case Study: Knotty Electrics

Prelude

This case study highlights the development of an innovative e-commerce platform for Kolab Collection, a luxury fashion brand merging high-end style with cutting-edge technology. The goal was to create a seamless digital ecosystem, combining NFC-enabled garments, a dynamic mobile app, and a resale marketplace for a connected and sustainable shopping experience.

This project required close collaboration across design and development teams, focusing on adapting Shopify for B2B use and integrating bulk ordering functionality, third-party apps, and advanced UX strategies.

Project Overview

Knotty is a new-generation fashion-tech platform that connects independent designers, buyers, and trend hunters.

In today’s fast-paced e-commerce landscape, B2B businesses require robust, scalable, and user-friendly platforms to facilitate seamless transactions. Our team undertook the challenge of developing a cutting-edge B2B Shopify development solution for Knotty Electrics, a company catering to the Canadian electric mobility sector. The project aimed to optimize wholesale operations, simplify bulk ordering, and enhance user experience for electric bike and scooter dealerships.

Imagine a world where electric mobility dealers no longer have to struggle with outdated ordering processes. Instead, with just a few clicks, they can access a seamless wholesale experience, placing bulk orders effortlessly. This was our vision for Knotty Electrics.
