Despite their brand growth, RUDIS had outgrown its existing commerce platform and struggled to meet demand. RUDIS partnered with CQL to stabilize the new RUDIS site on Shopify Plus and then optimize the site with a rapid iteration of new features, integrations, and enhanced design and user experience. With the celebration of RUDIS' 10 year anniversary, the new site launch also served as a catalyst for a stunning brand refresh that would present wrestling in a way that the world had never seen.

The combination of Shopify's powerful commerce platfom and CQL was a big win for RUDIS. Cory Stainbrook, Director of E-Commerce at RUDIS, states, "Our team came to CQL not only looking for improvement with stability and speed of our website, but a new design that is cohesive with our brand and products. Their team built a solution within Shopify Plus that was more flexible, efficient, and is something we can build upon to support our continual growth. We look forward to the ongoing partnership."

RUDIS' new digital ecosystem, built on Shopify as a foundation for rapid future growth, features a modernized brand, new technology partnerships, and a high-energy, engaging user experience that highlights RUDIS' expertise, mission, champion athletes, custom team apparel, and high performance gear.

"RUDIS and CQL have formed a great partnership based on our shared passion for strategy, innovation, and aggressive growth. The new RUDIS site reflects their market leadership in wrestling and relentless pursuit of excellence in everything they do. These results are just the beginning, and we look forward to the continued growth ahead," says Scott Robertson, Managing Director at CQL.
