Zoho Integration
Task:
The client had an admin panel that they were not happy with and needed a platform to manage HR, sales, pricing, inventory, and customers.
Our approach:
We studied the current customer database to get a better understanding of the ordering process in the store itself and the current requirements for the admin panel.
Our solution:
- Decided on the Zoho applications needed
- Chose the ones we wanted to work on first
- Started with CRM, connected a dashboard to manage tickets
- Then moved to Zoho inventory to manage the customers when creating new orders:
- Order management (from order formation to final payment and delivery)
- Inverting itself
Details:
- Desk: We figured out a way to bypass the default import. We wrote a Python script that creates tickets based on the CEO's current business email. This is a much more powerful solution than the simpler CSV import. With the CSV, it was impossible to add the attachments (checks, images, any .txt files) to the tickets
- Fully duplicated the order creation process in the Zoho inventory client application to track every step of the order creation process
- Made webhooks that sync data between Zoho database and client application
- Experience with uploading large amounts of data to Zoho
Result:
The client has a complete system to manage staff, tickets, customers base, and products base. Specifically:
- Zoho CRM, which can manage the customer database and, in turn, is synchronized with Zoho inventory
- Zoho CRM has order tracking in the client application as well as full product management in the client application by updating the client database from Zoho.
- Zoho desk is also synchronized with the client database to manage tickets. In this way, communication with customers can be conducted through ticketing in Zoho desk. This greatly simplifies the process, as each ticket will be tied to the order and therefore becomes very easy to learn all the details of the order (e.g., order history, complete information about products).
CTC Transportation (Insurance Truck)
CTC Transportation (Insurance Truck) is a platform for trucking agency. The main goal of the project is to create a simple but powerful and agile tool for improving business processes.
DevCube`s software development team had engineered, developed, and implement a vast amount of useful functionalities there. Our highly-experienced team has implemented management panels, integrations with APIs, mechanisms for reports creating, etc.
To create the most powerful and time-saving tool, our team used up-to-date technologies and huge collective expertise in IT-development.
Due to good architecture and appropriate technology stack, this tool simplifies manager`s work, provides accurate calculations, synchronizes all offices working processes and allows to create various types of reporting documentation.
The results of DevCube team's work help CTC Transportation to serve their customers even better.
Skill used: Amazon Web Services, React, HTML, CSS, jQuery, API, PHP.
Mobile application for CTC Transportation (Insurance Truck)
The mobile application was developed by DevCube as one of many functionalities for our client's platform.
We created a system to automate the sale of insurance. The insurance agent enters basic information about the car/cargo/any other movables and the owner's name, and the questionnaire is filled out automatically: data on the color and type of bodywork, engine capacity, and past accidents. Our app will provide them with the price for 1 year and 6 months. Upon pressing on the price agent can see more details about what is included in it, taxes, etc. After the agent picks the option that suits him best and the underwriter confirms it, the insurance is created. The client has only to sign the policy with an electronic signature and pay for it online.
This app is mostly created to do the calculation, but also e-signature is available.
Puff Bar
Issue:
A client makes e-cigarettes in China and sells them all over the world. Faced with the problem of counterfeits, the client introduced serial number verification: the code for each cigarette can be entered on the site and checked for authenticity. But when the company began producing more than 10 million devices per month, the server load reached the level of a big data solution: each request took several minutes, and most of the codes remained unused.
The client stopped losing money on fakes and started losing money on the support of the anti-fraud system.
Our approach:
It makes no sense for the client to process the request if the device is authentic. Therefore, we developed a special algorithm for generating codes for all devices. In order to check the code for legitimacy, one action on the frontend was enough. If the code turned out to be illegitimate, data about the device was collected and transmitted to the backend.
What we did:
We separated code checking and product data transfer into separate operations. You don't need to access the database to verify the correctness of the code.
Developed a hashing algorithm to generate code and retrieve product information using reverse hashing
Result:
The load on the server has decreased by an order of magnitude - most checks do not even require access to the database. Code verification became instantaneous, and clients stopped leaving the site without waiting for the verification result. The company started getting 5 times more data on counterfeit products, and the cost of support was reduced by 80%.
Ecommerce Redevelopment
Issue:
CoolFrames is an online store for eyeglass frames. The company's traffic was constantly dropping and customers were leaving the site without completing their purchases. More than 80% of the visitors would usually leave the site without waiting for the page to fully load.
Our approach:
We audited the site and saw that the site had been under development for 12 years, and even then it wasn't designed to scale. Any new feature was starting to affect the overall performance - for example, adding a new eyewear brand was causing all the other brands to slow down. The client was in a situation where any modification to the site would further reduce sales.
Our Solution:
The outdated media formats, unoptimized databases, and backend were just the tip of the iceberg. The problem was in the architecture of the site in which the product sections of the site were in the same environment as the basic functions (shopping cart, payment) that were affecting each other's performance. We completely solved this problem.
- We redesigned the architecture of the website, logically separating basic functionality and features. Now the client can add new product features and not worry about search speed or page loading.
- Introduced a modern photo and video compression service, reducing the size of images and videos by a factor of 10. The site is now faster to load and better indexed by search engines.
- We reduced the number of requests to the database and increased the search speed by using Redis technology, the site is now fast, it became easier to search for products and add them to the cart.
- We refactored the entire backend to work with the latest versions of Laravel framework. The code became clear and compatible with modern technologies. The site became easier to maintain.
- We developed 30 scrapers to update CoolFrames database with the latest products description and images. Scrappers execute every day to keep the database with the most updated product information.
Result:
The number of visitors to the site have increased by 50% in the first two months after the upgrade. The share of SEO traffic increased by 60%. The server load has decreased: requests to databases have decreased by 80%. The site is actively working and scaling, new features are not reflected in the overall run time.
Enterprise integration for Shopify
Issue:
Shopify is a popular platform that has most of the features an aspiring entrepreneur needs. You don't need to be a programmer to set up a new online store "out of the box" and then expand by adding new integrations.
However, as a company grows, Shopify's built-in features start to fall short. For example, Shopify supports only one product warehouse, and for a business that expands to several cities, this becomes a problem: new warehouses cannot be added to Shopify, and product balances between different warehouses are not synchronized. ERP systems are used to solve this problem, but they, in turn, do not know how to work with Shopify.
This leads to losses for business: If a product is out of stock, but the ERP system is not synchronized, the product is displayed on the site, and the customer places the order, but can't get delivery. Or the purchase price of the item changes, but doesn't have time to sync with the price on the site. In any case this leads to inability to make the sale, or to customer dissatisfaction.
Our approach:
DevCube solves this problem: we develop solutions for customers who want to stay on the Shopify platform but need additional integrations.
We not only develop and launch the store, but also solve the problem of the client's Enterprise, developing integrations of any level of complexity. Our clients can choose from a list of ready-made solutions, which we adapt to a private user case, or they can order an integration that is developed from scratch to meet the client's specific needs.
What we did:
- We developed an integration that helped integrate the client's EPR system with the Shopify platform. The integration helps direct the customer's order to the closest warehouse that has the product he needs, synchronize product inventories with the main database, send the customer the product by delivery service, and notify him of the delivery status via email and SMS.
- Developed Shopify and shippers integration.
- Set up a proactive notification service so that the customer automatically receives notifications when the delivery status changes.
Result:
The result is a smart service that makes the entire process from customer order to parcel delivery seamless and, in most cases, requires no operator intervention.
Mobile application for SiteGuard
The app was created as one of the functionalities for our client's service.
SiteGuard was created to control all of the customer's servers, websites, domains, certificates and providing many other ways of managing them all. It also protects them from hackers.
In case of any emergency like the server falls or anything is wrong with the website, end of certificate or hackers attack it give notifications straight away.
CRM
This project is DevCube team`s product. CRM is a ready-to-go tool for business management, which includes different manager panels, report creation mechanisms, and statistics.
This web-app allows users to create quotes (or tickets), to sort them by various filters, to monitor statuses and assignees, etc. Our tool uses data analysis about customer`s history with a company and helps to improve business relations with customers. Our system compiles data from various communication channels, like a company`s website, email, marketing materials, and so on.
Our CRM project is very agile and could be easily configured following business needs and goals.
Global Forwarding Enterprises
Global Forwarding Enterprises is a logistics company that specializes in transportation, supply chain, and warehouse management.
When Global Forwarding Enterprises contacted DevCube, they have already had a working system. Our team got the task to improve the existing system and to add more functionality and to make this system easy to maintenance.
DevCube`s software development team had analyzed the source code of the existing system and prepared an improvement plan. Those suggestions rebuilt the system, and it helped to increase system work speed and stability. Using top-notch UI/UX practices made the system more clear and structured. Additional functionality helped users to complete applications quickly and correctly.
Thus, the updated business tool simplified business workflow and still helping Global Forwarding Enterprises to provide the best services in their scope.
Skills used: Amazon Web Services, PHP, MySQL Programming, Zoho CRM, JavaScript.

Web Development for E-Commerce Retail Company
‘‘Their communication and price are what distinguishes them from other providers.’’
the reviewer
the review
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m an executive at an e-commerce retail company.
What challenge were you trying to address with DevCube?
We needed web developers that could fit our budget.
What was the scope of their involvement?
The initial reason for hiring DevCube was to integrate our web designers’ new design; they coded up everything and made sure that it was working properly in terms of buttons, mobile-friendliness, and speed performance. Currently, they provide several development tasks such as integrating new designs, back-end development, and upgrading systems in PHP and Laravel.
What is the team composition?
We work with around 5 people, but Igor (Project Manager) was our main point of contact.
How did you come to work with DevCube?
I found them online, and they happened to be established close to us. We had lunch, talked things through, gave them a test project, and that turned into several projects where we work together now.
How much have you invested with them?
We’ve spent around $75,000 with them so far.
What is the status of this engagement?
We started working together in September 2020, and the project is ongoing. They’re our full-time partners, deploying around seven projects a month with us.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
Our business has increased by around 10% since we started working with them.
How did DevCube perform from a project management standpoint?
Working with Igor is saving us hours of work time. He manages the five developers in terms of connecting calls and status updates. We’ve also created a cool strategy for deployment with Q&A and that sort of thing and that’s helping to complete all the projects on time. In terms of communication, we have daily calls and use Asana for project management.
What did you find most impressive about them?
Their communication and price are what distinguishes them from other providers. They’re inexpensive and responsible.
Are there any areas they could improve?
I’d like DevCube to hire a person to provide QA for the work they deliver.
Any advice for potential customers?
Make sure that you clearly communicate what you want.

E-Commerce Development for Clothing Company
"DevCube is very responsible and attentive. They never say no to anything."
the reviewer
the review
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m the regional director and chief business officer (CBO) of a clothing company. I work directly with developers and integrators. We’re the Latin American licensee for Technical New York. We’ve been 14 years in business with presence in four countries of Latin American, including Panama, Peru, Salvador, and Dominican Republic. We’re going to open Honduras soon.
What challenge were you trying to address with DevCube?
We wanted to make a smooth process for the final customers in regards to Shopify’s apps. We had several ERPs connected to all our systems, but they’re not compatible with Shopify. We needed to make an integration between our systems to Shopify, so we can have a live inventory. It was a hassle.
Besides that, we had the product creation side. In Shopify, you could add the products manually one by one, or you could upload them and be charged. However, since we weren’t connected directly from our system, we needed a middle card to upload the references and bring in all our information.
What was the scope of their involvement?
DevCube has found that we can connect and merge all the warehouses we have in our system to a smooth and single inventory in Shopify. DevCube is also helping us to migrate all the information of our product creation from our system to Shopify.
In Panama, we have a huge cultural difference: people don’t read the emails they receive. If the information it’s not relevant for them, they don’t open the emails even though it’s about their purchase order. As a result, DevCube has worked on a connection through an application called TextBook, which triggers a message to our customers for every purchase order they place in Shopify. They can track their order and see what’s going on with it.
DevCube is doing carrier integration, as well. It’s called Servientrega. They’re developing a code, so it can go directly from Servientrega to Shopify. Every time the carrier marks a status in the order, it triggers a message for the customer to inform if their package is coming through.
What is the team composition?
We’ve worked with three people from DevCube: the boss, a developer, and a project manager. We haven’t asked them to hire more people because we’re good at the moment.
How did you come to work with DevCube?
In Panama, it was very difficult to find developers or people that have good knowledge of Shopify and the connections we wanted to do. We found DevCube through a person that used to work with us. He was looking for recommendations in Shopify Plus of experts in search and development fields.
How much have you invested with them?
We’ve invested around $10,000.
What is the status of this engagement?
We started working with DevCube in August 2020. We’re planning to work on more projects with them.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
Shopify has a lot of apps, and we have to pay for them every single month. We’ve been able to pay them by making direct connections and development through Shopify for inventory stock and product creation.
Before having the inventory connection, it was difficult to track an order. Every time a customer placed an order, the item was marked out of stock. We had to contact the customer, and we were very upset. Now, after the integration, the inventory has around 90%–95% views on our stock items. Our revenue has increased because of our healthy inventory. We usually have a conversion rate of 2.5, but now it’s between 4–4.5.
The customer service complaints about purchase orders have been reduced by 60%–70% because of TextBook. We’ve also found that through WhatsApp it’s easier to contact customers and tell them what’s going on with their order.
Our managing consulting services (MCS) has increased the likeliness of customers recommending us from 40%–45% to 70%–90%. That’s a big difference since we started with TextBook’s integration. Everything that we’ve been doing with the carrier integrations have helped a lot, as well.
One of the highlights of the development is that I don’t have to do the products manually. I upload the references in the CSV file and it brings me all the information needed into a Shopify format file.
How did DevCube perform from a project management standpoint?
We communicate through email when I have any requests or requirements. We set up a fifteen or twenty-minute call where we check pending projects and new steps, including what we have and need to do. If I have an emergency, I send DevCube an email and text them on WhatsApp.
DevCube’s work has been very helpful — the Textbook integration was done in about 2–3 weeks. We don’t have any complaints. They've made all the changes we’ve asked them.
What did you find most impressive about them?
DevCube is very responsible and attentive. They never say no to anything. Even though some idea isn’t possible, DevCube tries to look for a solution and walk us through it. DevCube is very productive. They don't walk around things or take too much time. DevCube understands our needs.
Are there any areas they could improve?
DevCube could improve on their professional look, because the way DevCube presents their project’s documents is very informal.
Any advice for potential customers?
DevCube will give the solution that you need. If they don’t have it on time, they’ll give you any insights, ideas, or probable solutions for the project. DevCube will be great people to work with.

Custom Software Dev for Financial Services Agency
"We feel like we're competitive now thanks to their work."
the reviewer
the review
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m the founder of Fran Metrics. We do a lot of bookkeeping on a higher level reporting basis and offer data analysis and software platform services to franchising companies and their franchisees.
What challenge were you trying to address with DevCube?
Before DevCube partnered with us, the old way to collect and analyze this data was based on knee-jerk reactions, observations, and online reviews. We were looking for the ability to have all of the offerings in one place for our clients.
We needed a web portal where we could sign in and consolidate all of our services into that one software platform. We wanted to update it as we grow, to make it more user-friendly for our clients. We also needed help with custom software.
What was the scope of their involvement?
DevCube developed a web portal to collect, consolidate, and benchmark non-financial KPIs for the franchisors and their franchisees. The web portal helps them analyze their cost of goods sold, labor costs, and even their EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization), and shows them what rank they are in the franchise system.
For instance, if there are 30 units in the franchise system, and they’re number four, then they know they’re doing poorly and are on the bottom of the pack.
From a franchisor’s perspective, they can also see exactly what metrics need support. If they’re analyzing 20 KPIs, the franchisor can see the franchisees that are suffering in any specific category.
Version one of this software platform has been released already, and our clients are using it. However, it’s a constant work in progress — every penny we get from the software platform, we re-invest it.
DevCube also has helped us build up the software for what we call the in-person filled audits. With this software, franchisors are able to walk in, record responses, take pictures of any deficiencies, and look over time into their franchises. They can see what they look like, evaluate them, hold them, score them, and make sure they’re compliant — we call it an evaluation because we think the term audit has a negative connotation.
What is the team composition?
We’ve worked with 3–4 people from DevCube. I’ve only had direct contact with at least three people, and one of them is my main point of contact with whom I share my vision — he delegates and makes sure that everything gets done. They also have other developers and backend developers, but I don’t communicate with them regularly.
How did you come to work with DevCube?
I found DevCube on Upwork, and read some reviews about them online. I talked to a handful of people and development companies that I was looking to use. However, I definitely felt good about their process and how they operated. Their pricing fit into our budget, and they filled our needs in all matters.
How much have you invested with them?
We’ve spent around $50,000, and I imagine that amount will double by the time we’re done working together.
What is the status of this engagement?
We started working with DevCube around May 2020, and the partnership is ongoing.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
The feedback from our clients has been wonderful. There haven’t been any issues with the ease of use from the client’s perspective. We’ve had issues with data not getting in the platform quick enough or not formatted correctly. However, that’s not DevCube’s fault. We are the ones sourcing and bringing in the data, so that’s not on their side. We had a problem one time with user logins, but we always expect some bugs when it comes to technology.
We’ve had the vision of doing this for a while, and had potential clients that wanted it before us. We’ve moved a lot of our clients from an existing white label software into this new one, and our marketing has now ramped up. Now that we pay for this service, and it’s better to use we want to get our clients to use it — we feel like we’re competitive now thanks to their work.
We actually just signed a major client contract that’s in the process of getting set up on our platform, just based on the fact that we had this new software.
How did DevCube perform from a project management standpoint?
DevCube entered our Slack channel, and we communicated through that. We also put some information through Asana so their team gets notified.
Their response time is always good, so if I have any questions, the project manager reaches out to me the same day or sometimes instantly. He is always on the ball, and the results are always what we ask for. It took us a while to figure out how to communicate at the beginning but it’s turned out to be better than I expected
What did you find most impressive about them?
The most impressive characteristic about them besides the technical aspect, which I would assume anybody in this field should be good at, is their responsiveness and attention to detail. If there’s an issue with the site that I want to get fixed right away, waiting two days for a response would frustrate me. With DevCube, they're very accessible.
Are there any areas they could improve?
There’s nothing that they could improve — they’ve worked as expected.
Any advice for potential customers?
Make sure you provide enough detail on paper. Have your plan drawn out very specific, and have your vision complete and documented. Create templates and detailed notes of what you want your project to look like — that will help DevCube a lot in the process.
Otherwise, they’re going to develop something different from what you had in your mind. Even when you think you have everything, you don’t. DevCube can come back to you and ask you a question that you should have an answer for.

Web Development for DevOps Company
"One thing that impressed me the most was the responsibility of the DevCube team."
the reviewer
the review
The client submitted this review online.
Please describe your company and your position there.
OpsWorks Co. is a DevOps and Cloud Consulting company. Since recently, we are an AWS partner on Cloud Migrations. We specialize in migration practices, CI/CD set up, IT infrastructure automation, microservice infrastructure development, and security enhancement. My position is a Marketing Manager.
For what projects/services did your company hire DevCube, and what were your goals?
We hired DevCube to develop a WordPress website according to a custom design that we provided. We needed a company with vast experience in WordPress; since the design was responsive, we needed to make sure the pages open correctly considering different screen sizes.
How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?
We connected with DevCube thanks to a personal recommendation and became extremely satisfied with their services.
Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.
Before WordPress, we were using a CSV platform that didn't give its users access to the website's source code, so the possibilities were limited. When we have exhausted all possibilities of the platform, we started looking into the other options. Since the company is growing fast and investing more and more in its SEO, we needed a platform that would meet our SEO requirements on a higher level.
WordPress became our number one choice. It wasn't easy to find a WordPress developer due to different reasons. DevCube was a company that not only provided us with WordPress expertise but also the developer was highly qualified and helpful. The DevCube team developed the OpsWorks Co. website from scratch without any flaw, very professional.
How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?
The DevCube team allocated a WordPress developer, a QA engineer, and a Project manager to meet our needs.
Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?
Since the website went live, the SEO stats have considerably changed the pace of development. Thanks to the website support we get from DevCube, we are always up to date and ready to roll out a new site version. The loading time went down from 4 seconds to 2, which considerably affected lead retention on the website.
Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.
We coordinated the project via email and slack. The communication and interaction between our teams was easy and professional. The maximum response time was 20 minutes which kept the project up to the deadline.
What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?
One thing that impressed me the most was the responsibility of the DevCube team. Never have we had a non-response or no-can-do situation.
Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?
Services were provided professionally, which left us completely satisfied with the cooperation with DevCube.
