El Zarco

The wholesale distributor from Mexico City’s Central de Abasto, with its catalog and ordering portal online.

Since 1992, El Zarco has supplied wholesale dairy, cold cuts and groceries to restaurants, shops and cafés from Mexico City’s Central de Abasto. Quoting and taking orders was manual work. We built its website, its wholesale catalog and the portal where its clients order, track and repeat their orders on their own.

Back to Cord

What El Zarco taught Cord.

El Zarco quotes with Cord through its API and Cord Elements, the components that embed in a client’s site. Integrating it into a real operation showed what the SDK was missing, and those findings became Cord Elements 1.0: the API now returns the token and the full public link.
