We partnered with Arctic Grey to launch our Shopify e-commerce platform and build a scalable system that could support our growth and enhance the customer experience. Our key objectives included:

• Developing an easy-to-use frontend where customers could easily place and track orders.
• Integrating a final-mile delivery platform to streamline fulfillment.
• Ensuring the system was efficient and optimized to improve order management.

Arctic Grey’s project management was excellent, with clear communication from the start. They set up a dedicated Slack channel as the only means of communication, making it easy to access information without sorting through emails. Our project manager, Truc Peter, was organized, responsive, and upfront, always providing clear answers after checking with her team when needed.

Project management with Arctic Grey was excellent, thanks to their clear communication and organized approach. They set up a dedicated Slack channel for our project from the start. They used it as the only means of communication, which made it incredibly easy to find any information without digging through endless email chains.

We were especially impressed with our project manager, Truc Peter—she was organized, responsive, and upfront. If she didn’t have an immediate answer to a question, she was always honest about it and would follow up with a clear and accurate response after checking with her team.

Having one single point of contact throughout the entire project was also a huge convenience. I know that if we decide to take on additional projects with Arctic Grey, our point of contact will remain the same, which adds a level of consistency that we really value

It would be helpful to understand their hours better once the site is launched. They give you a set amount post-launch, but we used those up quickly and still had bugs that needed to be resolved. I think it would be helpful to allow more hours for post-launch.

As a partner in Angel Acres Food Club, we sought a seamless, integrated online shopping experience for our customers on Shopify Plus, consolidating our offerings spread across four independent websites. Partnering with Arctic Grey has proven to be an outstanding decision.

Autumn brings expertise and engagement that makes each interaction productive and aligned with our goals.
