What you need to know before implementing edge computing
These are the questions your firm should ask before going down the route of edge analytics and processing.
Boltmade is a three-year-old startup that designs and builds software products for companies, Shopify included.
The e-commerce platform provider said it will use Boltmade to boost its Shopify Plus product, which offers a cloud-hosted commerce platform for enterprises.
Unlike Shopify's SMB product, the enterprise-focused Shopify Plus is more customizable for high-volume merchants and includes dedicated account management. Shopify counts Tesla Motors, Red Bull, and Nestle among its current Plus customers.
The 21-person Boltmade team of designers and engineers will join the Shopify Plus office in Waterloo, Ontario.
"Shopify has had a big impact on commerce by helping businesses of all sizes achieve success. Earlier this year, we jumped at the chance to work on a project with them," said Boltmade founder and president Jim Murphy. "We're excited to be joining Shopify Plus to help some of the most recognizable, fastest-growing brands in the world sell billions of dollars of product."
