Foodbox Limited

At Foodbox they strive to deliver the freshest New Zealand produce possible 'fresh to your door'. Because they go to the markets daily they know when fruits 'n' veges are 'in season', coming into season and leaving us for the year. Often at the beginning of a harvest or the end of a harvest the produce is not at its best and possibly expensive too. 

They believe the best produce to buy is fruit 'n' veg when it is in the height of its season. That's when it best tastes, freshest because growers are turning stock over faster, and is more economical. When shopping online or in the supermarket this can be hard to tell,.... they like to think of themselves as your personal shoppers, your eyes and hands in the biggest and best fruit shop in New Zealand.

When the team at Foodbox contacted us they were using an off-the-shelf shopping cart system, which they had just outgrown. The system simply did not did not provide them the flexibility to implment the funcitonality they need from their web site.

Enter Encountra content management. The Encountra framework was used to build a custom web site for the company. The existing modules for Online Shopping Cart, Orders and Membership systems were augmented with functionality to provide an enhanced cusotmer and management experience.

The site was split into several areas, each incorporating a different design to give the whole site that rusty and zany look they wanted.
