Bag Borrow or Steal
High Fashion eCommerce
Founded in 2004, Bag Borrow or Steal often gets described as the “Netflix for Handbags” since it allows customers to rent high-end bags from Chanel; Chloe; Coach; Fendi; Gucci and others. With growth and a new infusion of capital, the company had to quickly expand both its offerings and its ability to deliver.
“Avail saved us weeks of vendor and contract evaluation time…they gave us confidence that trusted, well-vetted and 100% aligned professionals are supporting our eCommerce infrastructure, allowing us to concentrate on our brand and our business.”
Challenge
With the launch of a new consignment business, BBoS’s technology needs changed dramatically. They wanted a more cost effective way to deliver services across their portfolio. As a eCommerce company, they needed a next generation cloud strategy. They required anonymity through the vendor evaluation process to ensure their purchasing process and strategy were maintained.
Approach
While keeping BBoS anonymous, Avail provided comprehensive due diligence and evaluations of datacenters, managed hosting companies and networking vendors. Through an application workshop, Avail evaluated BBoS’ internal capabilities and performed cloud rationalization for key applications.
