Luxury furniture brand Coco Republic will open a U.S. e-commerce site in May.  The company will build the platform on the system architecture of Storis, a software firm that provides solutions to furniture, bedding, and appliance retailers. Coco Republic has operated an e-commerce business in Australia and New Zealand for 10 years. The company currently has a physical store in San Francisco and a promotional site that lacks e-commerce capabilities. CEO Skye Westcott told Chain Store Age that its U.S. e-commerce site is intended to let "the customer shop where and when they want." Coco Republic will use BigCommerce as its online architecture. Salsify will be used to build the company's product information management (PIM) and digital asset management (DAM) platform.
