“The only thing I got was frustration and failure.”
Sandra Hutchings, Hutchings Farm
The Challenge
Hutchings Farm, a local family owned farm in Pefferlaw, found their business facing new challenges brought on by the third wave of COVID-19. And with the third wave coinciding with the company’s slow season, they knew they had to do something to help their business.
Sandra Hutchings had experienced several failed attempts at taking her store online, only to end up more frustrated and hopeless. “The only thing I got was frustration and failure,” the former Richmond Hill resident said.
That’s why she turned to TAKU Retail, which piloted it’s unified commerce platform in York Region earlier this year.

Because of TAKU Retail, the shift to selling on multiple channels has been seamless for her; she has a single overview of her business and is able to organize and optimize inventory in real-time.
