[OKdo] needed to cater to a diverse international audience, running seven country-specific sites in six languages from a single installation.
“One of the challenges we had when building [the site] was how quickly could we get the websites live; how quickly could we get our proposition in front of customers,” says Richard Curtin, co-founder and SVP Technology at OKdo. “Box UK helped us do that, getting the business to market within eight months.”
