Caraway was struggling with sluggish site speed (especially during peak traffic) and unorganized data. As the business grew, they had built out features and added apps without realizing the toll they were taking on performance and insight. After resolving to address these issues as quickly as possible, Caraway chose to integrate Chord’s headless front-end and data platform.
The Solution
We wanted to be better, quickly — and without hiring a ton of people. Chord has allowed us to do just that. — Jordan, CEO of Caraway
Caraway decided to implement both Chord's front-end SDK, which resulted in significantly-improved load times thanks to Static Site Generation, and Chord's Data layer, which meant all data — behavioral, transactional, and third-party — would be in one place and ready to act on.
The Result
Chord has meaningfully improved our business. — Jordan, CEO of Caraway
