They built our Magento 2 website and they’re maintaining and upgrading it.

SOLUTION

They recently updated the site to the latest version of Magento. They implemented a program that allowed us to better segment our email list and manage our email growth.

Jakub (CEO) was our primary point of contact.

How did you come to work with Q-Solutions Studio?

I started in this position for a few months, but Q-Solutions Studio has been working with my company for about two years now. I believe we have an employee who was familiar with their business. Before I came on board, our team didn’t give them enough support.

It would be nice if they were in our area.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

Bianco Evento is a European manufacturer and supplier of bridal wear, with headquarters in Berlin, Germany. We work with bridal retailers from all over the world, predominantly in Europe to provide high-quality bridal gowns, accessories and shoes.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Q-Solutions Studios?

We had an existing e-commerce website for our customers. It’s unique because it’s only available for specific users. We wanted to upgrade the website to make it more user-friendly, modern, and reflective of the brand we’ve developed over the past few years

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

They built three separate websites using a customized Magento client. The first was a customer-facing B2B website with a specific login. The other two websites were B2C and targeted toward brides. One was for our shoe brand and the other was for accessories and gowns. While adding functionality to the B2C websites, they built a tool so brides could find local stores that stocked our products. All the work was tailored around the pre-existing e-commerce functionalities and database management systems. Some web design services were also offered.

What is the team composition?

We mostly worked with developers. The team was about four people and a web designer.

How did you come to work with Q-Solutions Studios?

My management team found them online with a recommendation from an existing developer.

They were reliable; anything we had trouble with, they’d answer.

Are there any areas they could improve?

There’s nothing at this stage.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

We didn’t have a plan going into it, which meant that the technical specifications took longer to iron out at the beginning. Just have an idea of what you want before going in.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I’m the owner of JB Furniture. We retail garden and conservatory furniture from two physical stores in the UK and online.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Q-Solutions Studio?

We tasked Q-Solutions with rebuilding an existing Magento website in Magento 2.

What were your goals for this project?

We had one simple goal: increase online sales by improving every aspect of the website.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

A personal touch was very important when interviewing vendors. A detailed call with Jakub (Founder, Q-Solutions Studio) took place and we immediately appreciated his depth of knowledge. Price, continual development, and ongoing support were critical, of course, but people deal with people. Businesses don't just trade automatically, and Jakub continues to liaise with us daily and is available to oversee or provide support himself when issues arise.

Describe the project and the services they provided in detail.

We worked with them from concept to launch and continue to benefit from their expertise as we develop the website. They originally took the existing layout of our website and rebuilt it in M2, adding many improvements along the way. Upon launch, they rectified inevitable issues with haste. Now, they continue to provide solutions for all issues, development tasks, and updates.

What was the team composition?

Jakub heads his team and allocates tasks to developers that are best placed to find a particular solution. All aspects of development and support are catered for by Q's comprehensive team.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any information that demonstrates the impact that this project has had on your business?

We’re still in the early days of the partnership, but the backend improvements are there for all to see. We have a very seasonal business so only time will tell.

How was project management arranged and how effective was it?

Project management software is accessible by all members and progress can be constantly monitored and priorities updated. We have online chats daily, which enables the developers in Poland to liaise with the project managers in London and myself, in the north UK.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

Their almost round-the-clock-support and speed in sorting issues stand out to me.

Are there any areas for improvement?

Communication in the early development stages was minimal. Clearly, work was being done, and perhaps there was little to report, but weekly updates would have been preferred.
