They worked with our company’s resources to build the app from scratch using Salesforce Commerce Cloud and Salesforce Marketing Cloud.  The app has a loyalty module, recommendations, promotions, and loyalty vouchers and points. Alva Commerce also helped us integrate the app with payment service providers and a CRM marketing cloud.  What is the team composition? We worked with three senior developers from Alva Commerce.  How did you come to work with Alva Commerce? I knew some of Alva Commerce’s team members from past work experiences.  How much have you invested with them? We spent around €100,000–€150,000 (approximately $100,000–$150,000 USD).  What is the status of this engagement? We worked together from December 2021–June 2022. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?  Alva Commerce was really capable; they're one of the best commerce cloud B2C developers I've known.  How did Alva Commerce perform from a project management standpoint?

Listen to them and try to understand what they're telling you; if they're talking about certain considerations, it's because they know the platform very well. --- #### E-Commerce Development for Commerce Solutions Company **The Project** - Services: E-Commerce Development - Project size: Confidential - Project length: Jan. 2021 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: A commerce solutions company hired Alva Commerce to provide e-commerce development. They're creating a Salesforce commerce cloud through JavaScript coding. **Review Rating**: 4.0 - Quality: 4.0 - Schedule: 3.5 - Cost: 4.0 - Willing to Refer: 4.0 **The Reviewer** Executive, Commerce Solutions Company - Industry: Other industries - Client size: 51-200 Employees - Review Type: Phone Interview - Verified **The Review** — May 10, 2022 **Feedback Summary**: The client has received great feedback on Alva Commerce's code quality. Their responsive and transparent approach is also key to a solid project management experience. They also use tools like Jira and Confluence to keep the project moving. "''The feedback of our customers has always been great.''" **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there. I’m an executive at a commerce solutions company. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with Alva Commerce? We needed to augment our development teams with experienced developers in Salesforce. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? Alva Commerce provides development services on top of Salesforce Commerce Cloud, currently known as B2C commerce. Overall, we needed a few people to quickly extend our senior development team to do coding in Salesforce Commerce Cloud using JavaScript. What is the team composition? We have a couple of their developers working with us. How did you come to work with Alva Commerce? Our former VP of projects, who had worked with them, referred them to us. We reached out to them, and they had the right people with the experience we needed. What is the status of this engagement? We started working together in January 2021, and the engagement is ongoing. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? The feedback of our customers has always been great. Our customers have access to the developers and speak to them daily. Overall, we've always been happy with the quality of the code. How did Alva Commerce perform from a project management standpoint? They’re a responsive and transparent team that acknowledges when they make a mistake or go over budget — when they make a mistake, they take responsibility for it. Also, we usually communicate through my managers, who then speak to the development team — the communication is good. They’re based in Ukraine and yet are still able to deliver. Regarding tools, we use Jira, Confluence, and Bitbucket. Are there any areas they could improve? They need more experienced developers; we had some developers who aren’t as good as those we currently keep in our teams — they need to ensure all their developers are at a senior level. Also, they’re based in Ukraine, and English isn’t their native language, so I feel there’s a communication gap because of it. Do you have any advice for potential customers? Do a proper interview, especially if it’s Salesforce Commerce Cloud. Also, make sure that they choose the right developer with the right knowledge of the platform when it’s specific. In addition, ensure they create proactive behavior while working with the developers because they’re not always proactively communicating when they face issues. They try to resolve everything on their own, which is good but sometimes they’re stuck on a particular problem without telling anyone. --- #### Various Project Dev for Software Development Company **The Project** - Services: E-Commerce Development, IT Staff Augmentation, Web Development - Project size: $50,000 to $199,999 - Project length: Jan. 2021 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: Alva Commerce has been hired by a software development company to help them with their customers' projects.

We needed a company that could help us migrate our site from Magento 1 to Magento 2. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? We hired Alva Commerce to help us migrate our existing e-commerce site from Magento 1 to Magento 2. This involved making some minor changes to the site, such as stretching the screen and some minor modifications to its theme.

How did you come to work with Alva Commerce? We found Alva Commerce through a referral. We chose them because they specialize in Magento. How much have you invested with them?

With the solution, users can upload, edit, and position photos within a selection of crystals before purchasing the product. **Review Rating**: 5.0 - Quality: 4.5 - Schedule: 4.5 - Cost: 4.0 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** President, 3D Crystal Etching Company - Industry: Other industries - Client size: 1-10 Employees - Review Type: Phone Interview - Verified **The Review** — Aug 20, 2020 **Feedback Summary**: Not only has the system become the main revenue generator for the company, but it’s also helped the internal production team keep track of crystal orders. Alva Commerce produces clean, scalable code. The team is ready to tackle technical challenges head-on thanks to its solution-oriented approach. "“They handle our challenges without blinking and deliver results.” " **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there. I’m the president of a company that creates 3D laser-etched images inside of crystals. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with Alva Commerce? We needed a custom B2B order system to service our retail partners who were selling our product. The solution involves a web portion. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement?  Alba Commerce developed a crystal ordering system that would allow our retailers to do a few things. First, it would take orders through a web-based real-time payment (RTP) function to produce a receipt. At the same time, it would also use that information to submit an order directly to our production room.  One of the main challenges we needed to overcome was creating a seamless user experience so that people could customize their orders efficiently. For example, if a user uploads a photo for us to etch into a crystal, how can they communicate if they want to remove the background or zoom in without writing all of their instructions out? Alba Commerce came up with an upload feature that’s entirely visual. Customers can see how their photo will appear within a crystal and edit it exactly how they want it. It’s an intuitive process since people are already used to photo editing tools similar to Instagram and Facebook. Beyond that, they developed a standard consumer-facing website, using Magento with additional customizations. What is the team composition?  I’d consider their team to be one of their main strengths — it’s why I’ve stayed with them for so long. They structure their team by assigning an account manager who acts as my main point of contact. That person is there to take care of any request I might have, from small details to larger project vision updates. How did you come to work with Alva Commerce? I originally hired another programmer to take on my project, but it was a lot of work for one person. He later became employed by Alva Commerce and brought my project to their team.  I can confirm that they’re the real deal. I actually flew over to their offices to spend a few days meeting them and seeing how they operate. They were working on other client projects, which was comforting. I felt like I could rely on them in the long term as a full-time partner. How much have you invested with them? We’ve spent somewhere around $60,000–$70,000. What is the status of this engagement? I’ve worked with them since August 2018. Over time, our project has grown organically into a solid B2B relationship as our needs and business vision have changed. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? The best feedback would be that they’ve managed to achieve what everyone’s been scrambling to do during COVID-19: pivot to e-commerce. Thanks to them, we’ve seen a surge in traffic on our website. That’s a big deal when all of our physical stores are closed because our site is our main revenue generator. Anecdotally, I appreciate their ability to quickly upgrade our site and servers so that we can better meet the incoming volume of demands. For example, we realized that customers were interested in purchasing our crystals in bundles of three, which required us to figure out how to create a SKU for three separate products. Alva Commerce found a way to tie three photo uploads with three different crystal types under a single SKU and then send it correctly to our production team.  They handle our challenges without blinking and deliver results. How did Alva Commerce perform from a project management standpoint? There are always delays in development projects, but the important thing is that they tell us if there’s going to be a hiccup and why. That lets us set the priority so that we can both manage the project. I’d much rather launch a feature later than expected than release a buggy product that causes the customer issues. In addition, if they do have any recurring internal issues, they’re quick to get their management involved to resolve it. That might involve replacing a team member or changing a process.  For example, I first asked them to update me via Skype because that was the most convenient for me. However, they realized that things were getting missed because they were buried in messages. Their team recommended that I use Jira so that I could see how many tasks were outstanding and what they were working on.  What did you find most impressive about them? You really get what you pay for. I’m paying a healthy amount per month, which has increased since the start of the project. As my need for a full-time account manager grew, I brought them further into my projects. Of course, I could hire someone internally and pay them the same amount, but I’d be missing out on Alva Commerce’s cognitive power. Rather than telling them to deliver exactly what we want, I tie them in to understand our overall goals. That way, they can evaluate the solution and give their own spin on how things should be done. The outcome usually ends up better than what I’d originally thought. On the design side, they went heavy on the backend with clean coding. They made sure that we could go back in and build upon their work if we wanted to change anything. Are there any areas they could improve? I would love it if they kept their prices a little more competitive, but, again, I’m paying for what I get. They could also hire more people to build up their development capacity and delivery speed. Do you have any advice for potential customers? This is more general advice when looking for a development partner, but you should know your scope of work to determine if a vendor is the right team for you. As far as I understand, Alva Commerce is a web-based programming company, so stick to their strengths.  It’s also important to come to an agreement on costs, what comes with it, and who owns the code. Once you’re dependent on a development team, it becomes harder to move away if you decide to move elsewhere. You need to make sure you own whatever has been developed.    --- #### E-Commerce Dev & SEO for 3D Crystal Gifts Company **The Project** - Services: E-Commerce Development - Project size: $10,000 to $49,999 - Project length: Oct. 2018 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: Alva Commerce developed a customized backend for an e-commerce website and provided SEO services.

We gave Alva Commerce our requirements, and they developed a customized backend for our website.

We're currently rolling out the website to the first location in a real environment. I wouldn't be presenting the website to different business owners and partners if I wasn't confident it was robust and could support hundreds of thousands of transactions. How did Alva Commerce perform from a project management standpoint? We have weekly sprints and they're doing a great job with reporting. Their English is excellent and they’re great communicators, so language has never been a barrier. What did you find most impressive about them? They're very honest and transparent. They’re proud of their work and they treat our project like it's their own.
