In the ever-evolving fashion industry, the last decade has marked a paradigm shift towards online operations, and fashion brands and retailers alike are faced with the intricate challenge of creating a seamless B2B wholesale experience that is every bit as impactful as its B2C shopping experience. Even heritage brands, known for their time-honored traditions, are rethinking how they can digitalize their wholesale operations. Loake—a revered English shoemaker established in 1880 with a legacy deeply rooted in exquisite craftsmanship—recognized the need to integrate a robust digital B2B platform into their business model.
