Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

The team delivered a complex ecommerce program spanning CRM and ERP integration, a centralized product catalog, a fully localized website, and custom middleware tying it all together. Each workstream was handled with genuine technical depth — no shortcuts, no glossed-over edge cases. They navigated the realities of luxury retail data and multi-region requirements without losing momentum. Communication stayed clear throughout, and timelines held even as scope evolved. A capable partner I'd recommend without hesitation.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

Unified product, inventory, and customer data into a centralized catalog, enabling a true omnichannel experience across online and boutique touchpoints. Launched localized storefronts across multiple markets on schedule, with currency, language, and tax handling working out of the box. Integrated CRM and ERP through custom middleware, replacing manual reconciliation and giving sales associates a single view of the customer across channels. Improved data accuracy between front-end transactions, in-store systems, and back-office to the point that exception handling became the rare case, not the norm. Delivered the full program on time and within scope, with post-launch stability strong enough that the team has shifted focus from firefighting to growth.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Project management was tight and predictable throughout. Milestones were hit on schedule, scope changes were handled without slipping timelines, and weekly governance kept everyone aligned. Responsiveness was a real strength — issues raised were acknowledged quickly and resolved with proper root-cause attention, not just surface fix.

What was your primary form of communication with Aegeantic?

• In-Person Meeting
• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

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

The depth of the team stood out from the start. Strong engineers and architects across the board, paired with genuine knowledge of luxury retail and ecommerce best practices — not just generic platform skills. They brought patterns and benchmarks from comparable builds, which shortened our decision-making and kept us from reinventing things others had already solved well.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Aegeantic could have done differently?

Honestly, nothing meaningful to flag. Aegeantic delivered against expectations across the board — technical execution, communication, responsiveness, and partnership were all consistently strong. It has genuinely been a positive experience start to finish.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I was the global head of performance marketing for Graff Diamonds Limited, a luxury jeweler specializing in rare gemstones and diamonds. We oversee every stage from stone selection to design and craftsmanship. We’re renowned for our innovation and excellence in fine jewelry since 1960.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What specific goals or objectives did you hire Aegeantic to accomplish for your company?

Aegeantic was responsible for the full website build. They handled the design, regional commerce enablement, multilingual storefront implementation, CRM, and marketing automation integration.

What is the team composition?

We worked with 10 teammates from Aegeantic.

How did you come to work with Aegeantic?

They were referred to me. We chose them because they had high ratings, their pricing fit our budget, and they offered good value for the cost.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked together from October 2023 to January 2026.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

Aegeantic delivered fully localised websites that were commercially operational from day one, enabling us to drive revenue immediately upon launch rather than going through the typical post-launch optimisation cycle. The sites were built to convert from the moment they went live, which directly translated into measurable sales performance and supported our broader paid media scaling efforts across key markets.

The localised sites performed strongly from launch and continued to deliver consistent commercial results across our key markets. This gave us a solid foundation to scale paid media investment significantly over the following years.

How did Aegeantic perform from a project management standpoint?

Given the complexity of the project, which involved multi-language localisation alongside integration with several existing systems, the smoothness of delivery was genuinely impressive. The Aegeantic team managed the moving parts with a level of clarity that was rare on builds of this scale. They delivered on time consistently, which on a project of this scope was genuinely rare. We used in-person meetings, virtual meetings, and emails or messaging apps for communication.

What made the difference was how they managed timelines: they were realistic from the start, transparent throughout, and proactive whenever anything needed attention. We received regular, structured updates on the project status at every stage, which meant stakeholders always knew where things stood and decisions could be made quickly. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

What stood out most was Aegeantic's understanding of how product feeds actually work for performance marketing. They had a strong grasp of SKU structure and how it needs to behave across multiple languages, which was something most development partners overlooked. The result was a high-quality, well-structured product feed that fed directly into our paid channels without the usual cleanup or workarounds. For anyone running shopping or feed-driven campaigns at scale, that kind of upstream quality made a significant difference in performance.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Nothing comes to mind. The collaboration was smooth from start to finish, and any challenges that came up along the way were handled proactively by their team. If anything similar were to come up again, I’d work with Aegeantic without hesitation.
