MIAMI, Feb. 20, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Mi9 Retail is pleased to announce that Tori Richard Ltd., a Hawaii-based manufacturer of men's and women's resort wear, has gone live on Mi9 e-Commerce and Order Management as part of its omni-channel expansion strategy.

Tori Richard was founded 60 years ago in Honolulu, Hawaii initially as a women's wear company, but has since become an internationally recognized men's and women's resort wear brand and parent company to 17 stores and approximately 2,500 wholesale accounts with sales that span across the mainland U.S., Latin America, and Asia-Pacific. While its retail stores remain located predominantly in Hawaii, the majority of sales come from the rest of the continental United States.

Customers are often introduced to the Tori Richard brand while vacationing in Hawaii, but the company's unique fabrications and one-of-a-kind prints have earned a loyal following and are sought after even after visitors return home. In 2016, Tori Richard made a strategic commitment to investing in a robust digital commerce platform that would allow it to fulfill its growing demand as well as achieve full mobile optimization, which was one of the company's top priorities.

"The Mi9 e-Commerce and Order Management System gives us a single platform upon which we can open unlimited potential for our customers and our products and future expansion to other company divisions," said Josh Feldman, CEO of Tori Richard. "The Mi9 system provides robust search capabilities to help customers find precisely what they're looking for, and to transact on the site quickly and easily. What's more, the Mi9 team has been a partner to us throughout the implementation process. They've not only guided us through the technical deployment, but have shared their deep expertise about site design and layout, as well as search engine optimization to get us more visitors. They are a unique company in that they took away a lot of the complexity we would have otherwise faced."

"The Tori Richard team has a clear vision for how they want to expand their business and grow their sales," said Neil Moses, CEO of Mi9 Retail. "I am thrilled we've gone live successfully with the new system and am looking forward to supporting them in their ambitious growth objectives."
