Business as Unusual
Watch how SnapCab, Relogix and Shopify pivoted their business through COVID-19.
SnapCab: Turning office privacy into pandemic protection.
SnapCab specializes in creating private pods for open workspaces. When the pandemic hit, they shifted their business with the help of EDC. They turned their pod system into testing pods that allow health care workers to conduct low-risk tests on multiple patients.
Relogix: New workspace solutions for the new normal.
Relogix helps companies optimize their office space. When the pandemic struck, they created a dashboard that helps clients ensure their offices are safe for when employees return to work. EDC helped make sure they were in a comfortable position to adapt, and now EDC is helping them look beyond the border.
Shopify: Keeping Main Street in business.
Shopify is an ecommerce platform provider that helps retailers grow their sales online. When the pandemic broke out, they shifted their business and launched Shopify Capital — a program which provides much needed funding to their merchants. EDC helped Shopify accelerate this program so it could launch as quick as possible.
