Simple Solutions was chosen as part of our initiative to take our business to the next level. Prior to our engagement with Simple Solutions our business was primarily run from a physical location within a jewelry store. Upon starting our journey to e-commerce, we looked for support from consulting agencies to assist us on this move. 

Simple Solutions was ideal for our project due their local presence and their proximity tour physical store. We were able to evaluate multiple e-commerce solutions and at the end resorted to working with Shopify as the e-retail platform for the business. Being a Shopify Partner, Simple Solutions assisted in what was aimed to be a relatively simple Shopify implementation that had ramifications within our retail and our wholesale businesses. 

Since our initial engagement, Simple Solutions has helped by executing certain tasks and referring partners to help in marketing and other areas of the business. We can confidently say that since our initial engagement, we have been position to scale with a set of tools that grows with us. We keep Simple Solutions as consultants, recognizing their expertise in e-commerce and the several tools that can be used.
