The brand

Cora is a direct-to-consumer brand that makes organic tampons, pads, liners, menstrual cups and discs. Every purchase supports its program providing period products and body literacy resources to people who might otherwise go without.

Since 2016, Cora has donated more than 10 million pads and helped provide reproductive health education to thousands of girls in Kenya and India. Those are the company's social-impact figures.

Our contribution

We joined the team for a short, focused backend engagement, supporting the ecommerce platform and subscription service. We worked in the existing codebase and delivery process on services for the product catalog, subscription management and order processing.

The team cared about getting products to both paying customers and the communities supported by its impact program. Our work supported the systems behind those purchases and subscriptions.
