The retail landscape is in constant flux. For modern merchants, navigating the complexities of multi-channel operations, diverse hardware and software needs, and evolving customer expectations can be a significant challenge. At Codal, we understand these complexities, and that’s why we’re thrilled to be a key partner in an innovative collaboration with Shopify and CDW.

The partnership brings together the different strengths of industry leaders to simplify in-store retail for businesses of all sizes. Together, we are empowering them to unify online and offline operations, accelerate growth, and deliver exceptional customer experiences.

Why this partnership is a game-changer for merchants

Shopify natively integrates POS, payments, hardware, and unified commerce into a single, cohesive retail operating system. CDW, a trusted leader in IT solutions, brings expertise in retail infrastructure and procurement, serving over 250,000 businesses.

Now, with Codal’s specialized expertise, merchants can access Shopify’s powerful platform directly through CDW, alongside the hardware, services, and support they already rely on. This approach ensures a streamlined journey from initial setup to ongoing success.“

From the start, it was clear that CDW and Codal are both built to win; not just for ourselves, but for the merchants we serve,” Ryan Bloms, Director of Partnerships at Codal, said. “With CDW’s deep experience and our track record as top Shopify partner, we’re perfectly aligned to tackle complex challenges and deliver solutions that drive real results.”

What this means for your business

While Shopify and CDW simplify the procurement and foundational infrastructure, Codal plays an important role in ensuring a seamless, tailored, and successful implementation of Shopify solutions. With Codal as your partner, you gain:

  • Accelerated deployment and expert guidance: Beyond CDW’s retail IT expertise, Codal provides hands-on, specialized support for your Shopify implementation. We ensure a smooth, efficient launch, minimizing downtime and maximizing your return on investment. Our team of experts will guide you through every step, from initial setup to custom configurations.
  • Tailored solutions for unique needs: Shopify is highly customizable, and Codal excels at tailoring the platform to fit your unique workflows and business requirements. Whether you have an in-house development team or not, we can implement custom features, integrations, and optimizations that enhance your operations and customer experience. We specialize in complex integrations, custom app development, UX/UI optimization, and more, to truly unlock the full potential of Shopify for your business.
  • Unified commerce: While Shopify unifies online and in-store sales, Codal ensures that this unification is optimized for your specific business processes. We integrate your Shopify platform with existing systems, including product information management (PIM), enterprise resource planning (ERP), customer relationship management (CRM), and more, to create a truly cohesive and efficient commerce ecosystem.
  • Ongoing support and strategic growth: Our partnership extends beyond implementation. We are committed to your long-term success, helping you continually leverage Shopify to achieve your growth objectives. We help you adapt to evolving retail trends and scale your operations effectively through strategic consulting, conversion rate optimization (CRO), technical search engine optimization (SEO), managed services, and more.

As Bobby Morrison, Chief Revenue Officer at Shopify, stated in a Shopify blog post, “Retailers today need solutions that simplify operations and help them grow faster.” Codal’s collaboration with Shopify and CDW embodies this sentiment, and we’re proud to be the critical link that ensures businesses adopt these powerful solutions and thrive with them.
