Searchlight leads Wiggle-CRC to customer-focused growth

Leading online tri-sports retailer Wiggle-CRC came to Searchlight Consulting to help them bring their IT platforms and processes into the 21st Century. Wiggle were in hyper growth and their current ageing IT estate needed updating to ensure it was fit for purpose.

Searchlight worked with Wiggle-CRC to devise and implement a programme that aligned the business and IT strategy, delivering a platform that has enabled Wiggle to grow organically and by M&A. Through a three-year journey, Searchlight has supported Wiggle-CRC to navigate through a complex IT enabled change programme, upgrading the ways of working, processes and underlying business solutions.
