Hi..

I was wondering whether anyone might know what cart these sites are using. It looks quite good and I was hoping to trial it myself but I can't seem to find it can anyone help? it's an asp cart

http://www.toolmix.com/ and http://www.tooled-up.com/ are using it ..

anyone know?

many thanks

Not sure, but they are ASP/.net based if that narrows things down a little.

[dodyryda]

yep.. know it's asp based - definitely using the same software from layout + operation but anyone know?

Tooled Up was most likely a bespoke system. Not sure about the other one though.

They do look like custom jobs to me.

You might find something similar at...

A big design company made them so more than likely they have in-house shopping cart engines which they might use on multiple client websites.

there're both by different companies tho? media52 + fairfax computing which made me think it might be a common platform

Why would they be a common platform? The sites don't really look that similar?

They are both likely to run on completely different solutions that have been tailored to suit the needs of the two different companies.

pretty sure it's a common platform if you look at the search setup / category browsing / brand browsing and the search products alphabetically >> exactly the same.. the layout looks different of course but the features are too similar to be different platform,

[BlueDreamer]

They are two different applications. Look at the URL strings for category links...

Toolmix = range.asp?gid=652

Tooled-up = Category.asp?CID=6

If you're using metrics like that to compare ecommerce stores, then you could say every single ecommerce site known to man is the same

There's no way on earth those two sites are using the same system - did you even look at the source code? The second site is also much better coded and made. and uses asp.net.
