  Columbia Sportswear is a global designer, marketer, and distributor of
  outdoor, active, and everyday lifestyle apparel, footwear, accessories, and
  equipment under the Columbia, Mountain Hardwear, SOREL, and prAna brands.
  Columbia Sportswear Digital operates a partner-focused developer portal on
  Microsoft Azure API Management at columbia.portal.azure-api.net, exposing
  APIs for Order Management, Consumer Management, Product Lifecycle Management,
  Cognitive, Weather, and Translation. The developer portal is gated:
  registered partners create an account, browse products and APIs, request
  subscription keys, and integrate against the published endpoints. The
  company also exchanges traditional EDI documents (POs, ASNs, invoices) with
  retail trading partners through providers like TrueCommerce and eZCom.
