Case Study: TAC - The Arnold Companies achieves a unified brand experience and streamlined content management with Cosmic

Consolidating the Content Chaos TAC Switches from WordPress to Cosmic

TAC - The Arnold Companies is one of the largest fuel wholesalers and aviation service providers in the U.S., comprising multiple brands (TAC Energy, TAC Air, Keystone Aviation). Their legacy WordPress setup consisted of multiple stand‑alone sites with a convoluted user experience and poor information architecture, making it hard for visitors to find content and for staff to manage multiple brand sites. Following an RFP, interactive agency Simple Media and vendor Cosmic were selected to deliver a consolidated, mobile‑first CMS solution (using Cosmic’s React Starter and Cosmic bucket/Node API).

Cosmic helped TAC implement a unified, React/Next.js site with server‑side rendering for SEO, global components, and reusable object types pulled from the Cosmic bucket, while the development stack (Node, Express, React, Material‑UI) and Cosmic’s starter tooling accelerated build time. The result was a streamlined, mobile‑first site that simplified content management across four brands, improved the visitor experience, and made the site easier for staff to update and keep current — outcomes TAC attributes directly to Cosmic’s platform and tooling.
