Co-founder of VinylBox - a music e-com brand based in London

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Hallwil, and what were your goals?

Front end - we needed to improve our conversion with the target of reaching 3%+ by Summer 2022 Back end - our MVP was a success, running the back end of order management on spreadsheets and sticky tape, however, we needed a longer-term solution to automate the process in order to help us scale

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

We interviewed around 12 providers and HW was really impressive, they asked the written questions which clearly showed that they understood the brief

Kick-off meeting to scope the project Again, HW asked by far the most in-depth questions - they clearly had the expertise and had taken the time to really understand the brief

How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

Yaro - lead dev Julia - lead project manager

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

Doubled conversion on the front end and are well on the way to hitting our summer targets. The back end went live last month and reduced processing time by 80%, which amounts to 100s of hours every month

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

Yaro has been brilliant, always cool, calm, and collected - a pleasure to work with. Prior to working with HW many people said to opt for a UK agency for the backend project due to the complexity and benefit of having a team work in the same location, however, HW has proven that theory wrong - Yaro is always available, speaks honestly and thinks through different ways to solve a problem.

Likewise, Julia and I have daily stand-ups that work really well - she is great at taking a brief or series of ideas and asking the right questions to turn it into a dev brief. She is realistic with timings, but pushes the team hard when necessary and is very reliable.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

The dedication to the work and the joy they bring to what can be very complex and granular pieces of work. I would recommend Hallwil to anyone looking to understand any sort of dev work across their stack.
