First project Magento 2 at Trezo in 2016. It gave us a lot of experience—we started with version 2.0 and we migrated to 2.1.

This project works as six eCommerce websites at the same installation as each brand has a specific store with its own categories, templates, and domains, although the customer can navigate at any brand website and finish their order on the main store. Kind of complex and challenging.
