Our Solution for Trading Depot

The Challenge

Established in 2007 as a bricks and mortar site, Trading Depot is the one-stop-shop for Trade and DIY supplies with more than 50,000 items available from tradingdepot.co.uk.

Everything from plumbing and electrical supplies to bathroom suites and safety wear remains at the business’s core, Trading Depot is now at the forefront of innovation with its augmented reality app.

The Technology Chosen - Business Continuity Platform

Data centre resilience
Failover and replication
Disaster recovery

The platform is already much quicker and that’s without optimisation; it could end up being up to 25% faster.

The Solution we Delivered
