Reaching for more with Satisfly
Our client already knew that the go-to technology should be Magento PWA as its easy-scalable, mobile-friendly, and future-proof. This requirement has shortened the list of potential software houses to choose from. After a couple of meetings, we all agreed that we are on the same wavelength and we believe in similar work methods and practices.
“We are impressed with their deep understanding of our business and commitment to our goals. It’s rare to find a vendor not focused on selling their services at any cost but on giving honest opinions and bringing real value.”
- We started with a kickoff meeting and onboarding process. From there we went through the business analysis which was designed to gather project details necessary for further planning. We agreed on a quick MVP development in just two months from the start, as it was crucial for us to have a working online store before the winter holiday season.
- We’ve been developing with a headless architecture, separating the backend from multiple frontends. This philosophy assures convenience for end-users and scalability for future changes.
- Our approach is and always has been mobile-first. We use Magento PWA which makes the mobile version load like a regular website, but looks and feel like a stand-alone web app.
- We’ve develop the inventory checking feature in order to monitor all 70 stationary stores and allow self-pickup in each of them.
- The project has been conducted in the agile methodology, basing on daily updates and well-planned biweekly sprints which guarantees transparency and clear communication.
- The MVP has gone live in the summer of 2021 and from this point, we started further development of additional features such as the customer loyalty program, gift card payment option, and more.
- We’ve integrated the webstore with the Spartivity loyalty program which is crucial for sales. Customers can subscribe to the program and get personal loyalty cards, valid in both stationary and online stores.
- The shop now has a robust personalization functionality, including custom engraving on demand and more.
