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

This project involved the development and deployment of a multi-storefront eCommerce solution built on the Magento platform, integrated with the organization’s ERP system. The goal was to streamline customer ordering, enable real-time access to personalized pricing and product data, and improve operational efficiency through batch API-driven order processing. Four distinct storefronts were created to represent each of the company’s brands, all managed under a unified Magento backend.

 
Key Deliverables:
Magento Multi-Storefront Setup:

Configuration of four branded storefronts within a single Magento instance.
Centralized administration for user, order, product, and content management.
ERP Integration:

API integration to retrieve customer-specific data:

Customer details (billing/shipping info, account type)
Product details (descriptions, availability, specs)
Customer pricing and pricing hierarchies (DN pricing, party-specific, and site-specific rates)
Secure synchronization of ERP data to ensure accuracy across platforms.
Order Submission Optimization:

Development of an API-driven batch order submission system.
Improved speed and reduced load by bundling orders in logical batches.
Confirmation and error-handling workflows between Magento and ERP.
Pricing Hierarchy Logic Implementation:

Logic layer built in Magento to determine pricing priority (site > party > DN).
Display and calculation of correct pricing per user login/session.
User Experience and Account Access:

Secure, role-based login with access limited to relevant brand/storefront.
Mobile-responsive design and intuitive navigation tailored to B2B buyers.
Testing and Deployment:

Full QA cycle for integration points and storefront functionality.
UAT sessions with stakeholders to validate customer journeys.
Go-live deployment with post-launch monitoring and support.
Documentation & Handover:

Technical documentation of APIs and data flows.
Admin user training materials and maintenance handoff.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

• 95%+ of customer logins showed correct pricing on first login, validating the integrity of ERP sync.
• Internal adoption achieved with minimal training time due to intuitive UX and admin-friendly configuration.
• Enhanced customer satisfaction from self-service capabilities and accurate data display across storefronts.

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

Clear and Open Communication:
The team maintained consistent and transparent communication channels, promptly responding to questions, clarifications, and issue reports. This ensured that blockers were addressed quickly and the project stayed on track.
Proactive Risk Mitigation:
They regularly surfaced edge cases and potential limitations early in the planning and development stages. This allowed us to anticipate downstream challenges, make more informed decisions, and avoid costly rework.
User-Centered Planning:
Their feedback was always focused on optimizing workflows and usability, both for internal users and customers. They took initiative in making suggestions that improved ease of adoption and long-term maintainability.
Collaborative Mindset:
Rather than simply executing requirements, the team actively engaged in refining business logic, aligning technical solutions with our objectives, and challenging assumptions where appropriate to ensure the best possible outcome.

What was your primary form of communication with Brainvire Infotech Inc?

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

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

What stood out most was the team's deep understanding of both the technical and business sides of the project. They didn’t just execute on requirements — they actively participated in shaping the solution by offering thoughtful insights and suggesting improvements we hadn’t initially considered.

Their ability to identify edge and corner cases was particularly impressive. It showed a level of experience and attention to detail that helped us uncover gaps in our assumptions and make more informed decisions.

Equally valuable was their communication style — always clear, timely, and easy to work with. They made collaboration effortless and created an environment where we felt comfortable asking questions or requesting changes.

Lastly, their focus on long-term usability and adoption set them apart. Every recommendation they gave was aimed at ensuring the system would not just work at launch, but scale and remain maintainable over time. That level of foresight and strategic thinking is rare and deeply appreciated.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Brainvire Infotech Inc could have done differently?

More Visual Prototypes or Wireframes Before Development:
In a few cases, initial requirements could have benefitted from visual walk-throughs or mockups to help clarify user expectations and better align business stakeholders before development began.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I'm the operations manager for Alarkan General Trading FZE, a free zone company for B2B export customers. Our core business is automotive spare parts, mainly for genuine Japanese brands like Toyota, Nissan, Mitsubishi, and Lexus. We have an import-export business and provide our services in the UAE to the local market.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Brainvire Infotech Inc?

We needed help with e-commerce platform development. Our goal was to provide our customers with ease of access to our system, real-time prices and availability, and the ability to place their orders; it was mainly for B2B customers.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Brainvire Infotech Inc developed our e-commerce platform from scratch. They took the UX/UI design from our existing website, used Adobe Magento to build the platform, and integrated e-commerce into the website.
The payment gateway is still underway because the project was done in phases. The first phase was to go live with the website. Existing customers can log in and create accounts to see the prices and availability, and place their orders. 
The second phase will start next month and include the payment gateways, credit facilities, and integration with our ERP system.
They also modified the design of our existing website and will include SEO services in the second phase. 

What is the team composition?

We were initially in contact with Mr. Chintan, their CEO. Then we met the project manager and two to three sales teammates. Once we signed the contract, we were introduced to Dipesh, the developer and a project manager. Between 10 to 15 people were included in the whole project, from the project manager to the developer and the project lead.

How did you come to work with Brainvire Infotech Inc?

Adobe recommended three or four partners to us. After a couple of meetings with everyone, we chose them.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent $80,000–$90,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We signed the contract in October 2024. The first phase was completed, and we went live on February 15, 2025. We have already signed a contract with them for the second phase, which will start in May 2025. So, the engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The team is amazing. They are unique, and we are happy with them. We are pleased that we chose them. They are pretty supportive regarding complex scenarios and achieving our goals. The team assigned the right people to us and helped us understand how the system works and how we can manage many things. We asked them to implement some tough stuff in the system for us, which wasn’t possible by default in Magento. However, they managed to do it for us.

How did Brainvire Infotech Inc perform from a project management standpoint?

When it comes to the project and the deadlines, you cannot consistently achieve them because of complex situations that might occur during the project. But they achieved the deadlines 95% of the time. Complex situations might occur during the project; 5% of the time, they didn’t meet the deadline because of us.

Between the integration and the first phase, we realized some complex requirements. We did not discover them beforehand, but realized some things and informed them. Meanwhile, we learned some things when the project was in process and told them. They managed to do it for us, but it slightly changed the deadline.

We don't use any project management tools. I have my tools to see the progress and communicate with the project management team; it’s pretty basic, but it works for me. We communicate with the team most of the time through Google Meet.

We had some online offshore meetings. The developer also came to the UAE to meet us and spent one month with us for the exploration and development phases. We also acquired the development team to be on-site, so they spent one and a half months with us. And even after going live, we had 10 days with them on-site support. So, for one and a half months, they were with us. And with the other team, we were having meetings on Google Meet.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Their top-notch support level and understanding of complex scenarios are their most distinguished qualities. Their developers and the whole team are pretty experienced. They suggested a few things that enhanced our website performance. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

We didn’t notice anything in the first phase. We'll see in the next phase.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

To achieve better performance and results, you have to follow up and be on top of things. You need to follow up regularly. That’s what we did with them. We had weekly follow-ups and arranged meetings to meet their team in the UAE or offshore. It’s critical to follow up on each point, note all the pending points, acquire deadlines from them, and follow up accordingly.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Brainvire Infotech Inc?

We wanted to create an e-commerce website to have an online presence and increase our revenue.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Brainvire is currently assisting us with our website and marketing. As for the website work specifically, the team has helped us with both the design and development of our e-commerce store, which has required working with Shopify as the tech stack. Additionally, Brainvire handles our ads, which include Google Ads and Meta Ads.

We've had multiple meetings with Brainvire throughout the project. During our first meeting, we discussed our business and what we were looking for. Once we decided to hire them, we had a second meeting, during which we provided them with more details about our company.

After providing Brainvire with all the details, we started sharing daily emails. During this period, the team focused on planning the project for our company. When the plan was approved by our company, Brainvire started working on the actual project.

What is the team composition?

We work with a lot of teammates from Brainvire — they're a big group. We have a team focusing on our website and another team focusing on our ad campaigns.

How did you come to work with Brainvire Infotech Inc?

We met them through a referral.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent around $8,000–$9,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We began working with them in February 2024, and the engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Thanks to Brainvire's work, we've seen a tremendous increase in traffic on both our retail stores and our website. We've also noticed an improvement in our social media engagement and customer communication with our stores. For example, we've seen an increase in phone calls and emails from customers who want to reach out to us. Overall, our engagement and traffic have increased by around 70%, which is tremendous.

How did Brainvire Infotech Inc perform from a project management standpoint?

Our communication has been via email on a daily basis. They're always communicating with us and sending weekly and monthly reports. Whenever they have a question about whatever they're working on, they're great at communicating with us and staying on top of the project. We also have weekly meetings, and whatever we discuss in those, Brainvire delivers and takes care of our requests right away. We use Google Docs for document management and Zoom for our weekly meetings.

What did you find most impressive about them?

For each task we've worked on together, Brainvire has great teammates who handle it well. They're all great at what they do, and they've put together a great project for our business. They're all very involved, which has been helpful for our project to succeed.

Brainvire has been great at both our website development and marketing, so I'm very impressed with the results. I'm not able to tell if their strength lies more in one of the two areas because both sides of the project have resulted in positive results regarding sales and customer engagement. Their strength in both areas is very high.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Every week, Brainvire has been improving things as a team. The longer we work with them, the more they get involved with our business. Moreover, the more we capture things and follow their suggestions, the more we've been improving as a team as well.

I don't feel there's a particular area in which Brainvire needs to improve. As every week goes by, we've been improving and knowing what our business is and how we can keep growing it.

Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs?

Stay in constant communication with them and stay on top of it. This requires responding to emails and attending the meetings. This approach will help both sides, allowing Brainvire to complete projects and allowing you to get the results you're looking for.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

How did your relationship with your partner evolve?

We engaged with Brainvire for our project, and their performance was commendable. They demonstrated a thorough understanding of our requirements from the outset and executed the project accordingly. 
Throughout the implementation phase, they encountered various challenges but consistently showed resilience and problem-solving skills to overcome them effectively. As a result, they successfully delivered the project within the agreed timelines and to our satisfaction. 
We appreciated their professionalism, expertise, and commitment to delivering quality work. We would not hesitate to recommend them for future projects

In what ways can they improve?

They should inform customers about the limitations of any theme. While implementing the theme, we encountered instances where theme support or functionality was either unavailable or restricted, resulting in additional project costs incurred for necessary enhancements.

What advice do you have for clients with similar needs to yours?

I would suggest the clients with similar needs below 5 things:

1. Assess theme features thoroughly.
2. Explore alternative themes and compare each segment of them giving scores. Whichever gets the higher score go with that.
3. Clarify support and customization costs upfront, if in case you want to add on or develop anything.
4. Prioritize project requirements clearly.
5. Communicate expectations and project scope clearly in writing with the vendor.

Project summary
A women’s fashion company has hired Brainvire Infotech Inc to revamp their website. The team is responsible for rebranding and changing the Shopify site’s theme.

Feedback summary
Since they’ve been let down by other vendors, the client has been satisfied with Brainvire Infotech Inc’s work and performance. The team has maintained the project running smoothly, and they’re passionate about their work. Overall, they’re responsive and available to help the client.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m an e-commerce manager for Kashkha, a renowned brand for women’s fashion. We have product lines like Jalabiya, nightwear, and ponchos. I manage the website.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Brainvire Infotech Inc?

We wanted to rebrand our Shopify website.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Although they have many other services, our primary focus with Brainvire Infotech Inc is revamping the website. We want to go ahead and change the platform; this will be our third time.

The website was already there, but they’ve changed it to a new theme. However, some functionalities aren’t available within the theme, so they have to do some workarounds to make the functionality compatible.

Initially, we shared our comments and expectations with them and shared a document. We discussed the document, what was possible, and what would be included. We decided on the final project, and then we started.

In the future, we might go ahead and move the platform from Shopify to Magento. Brainvire Infotech Inc is good on both platforms, so we won’t have to explain from scratch if we choose to change. It’ll be easier to migrate from Shopify to any other platform.

What is the team composition?

We’ve mainly worked with three teammates. Initially, a representative helped us understand the requirements. Once that was done, we contacted two people: a project manager and a technical person. She’s the one working on the project and communicating with us.

How did you come to work with Brainvire Infotech Inc?

We discussed our requirements within the group. We then approached vendors and spoke to many of them. We similarly approached Brainvire Infotech Inc, which looked like a technically sound company. We were looking for someone who could understand the requirements, and they knew how to work to fulfill them.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent $7,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We began working with them in mid-April 2024. The work is almost done; we will launch the new theme next week.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We work with a few other vendors. Every vendor starts by saying something is possible, but when you actually start working, they miss many things. For example, we selected another agency, and at the time of implementation, we learned that they didn’t support the language we were looking for. We had to change our approach for the theme developer. Many said we needed to spend some money on this kind of job. Other vendors also said we needed to spend $2,850 for this, which was an additional expenditure. It was very expensive, so we couldn’t be up for it.

How did Brainvire Infotech Inc perform from a project management standpoint?

The project has been running on time. Due to the holidays, we haven’t been able to dive in, so there’s been some delay from our end. 

Are there any employees from the service provider's team that you would like to give a shout-out to in this review?

The developer is very valuable and passionate about working on the project. She doesn’t want to delay us and always wants to deliver within the timeframe. Whenever possible, she thinks outside the box and tries to fix things as soon as possible.

Similarly, the project manager always ensures that the project is going well.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They assist us whenever we require it.

Are there any areas they could improve?

They should suggest what’s going on with current technologies and how we can improve. Customers aren’t technically savvy about what’s going on in their own sites. Brainvire Infotech Inc could make suggestions and help us understand if there’s any other way. 

If there are any specific customer requirements, many developers just follow them; they won’t go here and there. They will ask what they’ll do in second place, but those pieces are essential; we can’t discuss every small point.

Moreover, when you start implementation, there are many components where you need to have something to add a certain functionality. For example, the theme didn’t support Arabic. We didn’t know that until we implemented it, so we had to rely on a third-party app. From our perspective, every development theme should support all languages and currencies.

After the issue, they told us it wasn’t discussed. They needed to customize it and recharge us. This wasn’t predictable. However, if a developer already builds websites for others who face the same challenges, they should tell us this happens so we won’t have any problems. As customers, we should never encounter such issues.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

I suggest doing your proper homework during the implementation phase. Don’t naively believe in any developer; you should have good knowledge about what you want. Also, you should have proper documentation about your requirements and what is possible. When you’re orally discussing the project, every developer says that everything is possible, but when they start doing it, they can’t deliver what they promised.

Communication is essential. The person who initially communicates with you will say anything is possible, but the person working on the project will not be involved in that discussion. They'll have no idea what was said in the meeting, so they will follow what is written.

Additionally, when you decide on a project for a particular amount, and something keeps on coming, the project value will be high.

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

Brainvire has been instrumental in the changes that we have made in an effort to grow our business this year.  One key deliverable was that their development team rebuilt the front end of our website.  This was a pretty involved task.  Arpit, Harsh, and the rest of the development team were very responsive, handled tasks quickly, and took feedback well on this project.  

We are pleased with the new content they have created and look forward to continuing to work with them as we grow our website and make changes to it.  We also worked closely with a marketing team consisting of Jaymine, Anuj, and Jinansh, and others.  This team has also worked diligently to improve our website's search engine optimization.  

They have been very responsive and communicative and we have developed a good working relationship.  We've also had help from Ranjit, Sandeep, and others that I may be forgetting.  The Brainvire team has conducted themselves with professionalism throughout.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

On the web development side, we now have a website that is better looking and more customizable.  We now have the capability to do pretty much whatever we want to do with our homepage, header/footer, banners, search functions, and other pages.

On the marketing side, we have been working with that team to improve our tagging, search functions, and overall search engine optimization.  Because of the constant line of communication that has been maintained, we are able to suggest specific product lines that we feel should be targeted and Brainvire is able to tell us certain keywords and wordings that are searched more often.

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

The project management on both the Web Development side and the Marketing side have been outstanding.  Each team has responded quickly to our requests and they have done pretty much everything that they said they would do within the timeframe that they said they would do it.  If something wasn't done as we wanted, they took feedback well and made changes accordingly and quickly.

What was your primary form of communication with Brainvire Infotech Inc?

Brainvire Infotech Inc's responsiveness and constant communication impressed me the most.  Also, they do have a variety of different skilled types of labor for software-related projects, many of which we have not yet utilized.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Brainvire Infotech Inc could have done differently?

On a few of the tasks we have contracted them for, we have had to re-explain what we needed and have Brainvire alter some of the things that they have implemented.  Ultimately, they were very patient and willing to make changes and we were pleased with the end result and some of this may be a lack of clarity in our explanations, which we will strive to do better about.

Invoicing - in our contracts with Brainvire we specify key information that is supposed to be included on each invoice.  We have a number of different projects with them and the invoices repeatedly did not contain the information requested. This resulted in invoices going to the wrong people and wrong projects which caused a lot of extra work on our side.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Brainvire Infotech Inc?

We wanted to create an application to manage a loyalty program for our end users, and we were looking for a vendor to help us with the development. The program needed to have a system to gain points and redeem them to have more accessibility with our end target segment. 

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Brainvire Infotech Inc designed and developed a loyalty program application from scratch. The brief of the project was that we didn't have access to our target audience since we had direct contact with one distributor, but we didn't have access to their customers. We focused on creating an application for our end clients to purchase products for the paint industry.  

We initially provided Brainvire Infotech Inc with a comprehensive scope of work, including a request for quotation. We worked hard to create the scope with our internal audit team to document our initial requirements. Brainvire Infotech Inc created the app's wireframes and user stories and was responsible for development. 

Once users installed our app, we ensured they received a QR code they could scan and be directed to our portal, gaining points for their purchase. Once users reach certain points, they can exchange them for one of the available gifts on our marketplace.

I worked with around 6–10 teammates from Brainvire Infotech Inc, including Ashar (Senior Project Manager), who was my single point of contact.

We contacted Magento for a new Adobe e-commerce, and they recommended 4–5 partners and Brainvire Infotech Inc was among that list. We conducted interviews for qualification approvals and met the team at one exhibition.
How much have you invested with them?

We spent around $50,000 on this project.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked with Brainvire Infotech Inc from April–December 2023.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Although Brainvire Infotech Inc has finished our product, we still need to modify some production technicalities for the app to generate the QR codes automatically. We have around 300,000 SKUs each month that need to be branded with a QR code in order to be eligible for the loyalty program. We purchased a printing machine from a Chinese supplier, but the delivery was delayed. 

This unplanned situation caused the delay in launching our app, so I don't have quantitative feedback at the moment. However, Brainvire Infotech Inc delivered a final product that met our initial requirements. 

How did Brainvire Infotech Inc perform from a project management standpoint?

I had previously managed different development projects and knew it was common to have changes during the process and deviations from the scope. The project was delayed around 2-3 months but didn't represent a stopper or change in our process. Brainvire Infotech Inc resolved issues efficiently and tracked project tasks using Microsoft Azure, Agile methodology, Microsoft Teams, and WhatsApp.
Are there any employees from the service provider's team that you would like to give a shout-out to in this review?
I want to highlight Ashar's work.

What did you find most impressive about them?

When we went live, the QR codes were generated by our servers; however, they were originally meant to be printed on a sticker. We found this situation to be difficult to resolve at the time. Brainvire Infotech Inc suggested an intelligent way to resolve the issue and another way to feed the machine, recommending an online solution to generate the QR codes. Brainvire Infotech Inc made all the required code changes and enhancements to the control panel in a swift time.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Brainvire Infotech Inc performed the project follow-up on different dashboards and platforms, including Microsoft Azure and Microsoft Teams. Sometimes, we missed details in the communication, so it'd be nice if the team could streamline the follow-up process and use one dashboard.

Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs?

This was a turnkey project for Brainvire Infotech Inc, where they had to create our app's wireframes. Other customers could work with other companies to create the wireframes and let Brainvire Infotech Inc act as a supervisor company and manage development. I think it would be helpful.

Feedback summary

The client has been highly satisfied with the work from Brainvire Infotech Inc, and considers the project a success. The team is transparent when issues arise and offers valuable solutions. The client has been impressed with the service provider’s creativity and willingness to go above and beyond. 

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I am the regional marketing manager of a company in the building materials industry. 

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Brainvire Infotech Inc?

After the COVID-19 pandemic, we decided to apply massive digital transformations starting with commerce and internal and stakeholder communication. We were working with another company, but it was taking longer than expected, and we weren’t thrilled with their work, so we hired Brainvire Infotech Inc. 

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Brainvire Infotech Inc has been responsible for developing our e-commerce Magento and Adobe Commerce Cloud website. The site is being built with existing code, and the team has been responsible for the UX/UI design and rebuilding of product catalogs and landing pages. 

They’ve also helped us develop another marketplace for our building materials using React Native. We've provided them with wireframes and our expectations for that project. Brainvire Infotech Inc has also created a mobile app loyalty program. It is available on iOS and Android and has been built from scratch. 

What is the team composition?

There are three different projects, so I’m not entirely sure; we work with three separate project managers for each project.  

How did you come to work with Brainvire Infotech Inc?

We contacted multiple developers that were certified Adobe partners, and Brainvire Infotech Inc seemed to be the best fit for our needs. 

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent more than $400,000. 

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in April 2021, and the engagement is ongoing. 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The previous company we were working with was not successful with the development work, but Brainvire Infotech Inc was able to turn that around and take it from a failure to success. They’ve been completing all the work, and we’re happy with the results. In our line of work, it isn't easy to understand the scope of work and deliver, and Brainvire Infotech Inc has been able to do that for us. 

How did Brainvire Infotech Inc perform from a project management standpoint?

Some of the work has taken longer than expected, but that was on our end, not theirs. We’ve had a few bugs, but Brainvire Infotech Inc has been able to solve them. For the most part, they deliver on time and within budget. We use Microsoft Azure for project management and have scheduled weekly calls with our project managers. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

They are extremely transparent about issues and offer solutions. Brainvire Infotech Inc has also come up with suggestions that might be outside the initial scope to ensure a better experience. 

Brainvire Infotech Inc’s solutions are creative. We’ve worked with other companies that will continue to work within the initial scope of work even if it is wrong, but Brainvire Infotech Inc does not do that. They’re flexible and ensure that what they’re building aligns with your goals. They also don’t have tons of turnover, which we see in many companies. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

In one instance, it took a while to fix our source code, and on the fifth attempt, Brainvire Infotech Inc decided to start from scratch. We don’t know if that could have been avoided, but maybe if there was a technical advisor, it could have been. 

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

They’re an excellent company all around. The team is diligent and is more focused on ensuring the work is high-quality than being paid. Their team checks in with you from many levels, and their employees are very engaged.
