Custom Software Dev for E-Commerce Company
"Their experience with NetSuite, Shopify, and Amazon was exactly what we were looking for."
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 work as the COO at a kitchen and bath company. Much of my work is on the IT side, working with web connectors, web development, automation, and more.
What challenge were you trying to address with Folio3?
We were using web connectors to connect our website data with our NetSuite environment on both the customer and dealer sides. During this effort, we were having trouble with the stability of the connector. We were never able to launch, so we started searching for a new partner to correct this.
What was the scope of their involvement?
They’re experts in Shopify and NetSuite, both of which we use. We started with a Shopify connector with them as well as a dealer connector through Shopify as well. Additionally, they integrated an Amazon connector that connects our seller side of Amazon.
To facilitate the project, we scoped out the work together and discussed the problems we were having with other connectors. They found that our previous workarounds would not be necessary with their connector. Since then, we’ve done a ton of customizations together through NetSuite.
What is the team composition?
Throughout the project, we primarily had one point of contact. However, we interacted with several teammates along the way.
How did you come to work with Folio3?
I was looking through NetSuite’s list of preferred partners. They stood out because they were Shopify experts and NetSuite consultants. It was clear they understood the flow from the website to our ERP, which helps when it comes to pinpointing issues with connectors.
How much have you invested with them?
We’ve spent upwards of $50,000.
What is the status of this engagement?
We started working with them in January 2018. The connector launched by February 2018, but we continued to work together after that was implemented.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
They’ve delivered tons of quality work and customizations, always on time and according to budget. I was spending about 4–6 hours each week working with connector issues with orders. Their work cut all that out of my work week, saving me about six hours per week.
How did Folio3 perform from a project management standpoint?
We communicated through Skype for a sense of real-time communication and were able to accomplish things quickly using that channel. Our quick communication style significantly cut down on the timeline. They stayed on schedule and managed the project well.
What did you find most impressive about them?
Their experience with NetSuite, Shopify, and Amazon was exactly what we were looking for. Whenever we had an issue with any of those tools, they understood the problem and offered solutions. Sure enough, their solutions were all effective.
Are there any areas they could improve?
I still use them today. If I wasn’t satisfied, I’d look for another partner.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
Make sure you have resources on your team ready to engage with them on the project. That will keep things from dragging.

Mobile App Dev & UX/UI Design for Clean Fuel Retailer
"They’re very organized."
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 marketing director for Propel Fuels. We’re a retailer of low carbon fuels in the state of California.
What challenges were you trying to address Folio3?
We hired Folio3 to assist with development. We wanted to make it easier for our customers to access our locations, prices, and other information. We were one of the first fuel companies in the fuel industry to publish our prices in real-time.
What was the scope of their involvement?
They worked hand-in-hand with us to develop and design a mobile app for iOS and Android. We had a particular design that we were working towards, and they designed the actual UI to meet our goals.
What is the team composition?
We worked with a team of five people from Folio3. We had 1–2 project managers, and several developers and designers.
How did you come to work with Folio3?
I received a recommendation from a colleague. We went through a bidding process with three different developers, but we ultimately selected Folio3.
How much have you invested in them?
We spent between $25,000–$50,000.
What is the status of this engagement?
We started working together in the third quarter of 2014. The app development is complete, but they continue to provide updates and support.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
Something that really stands out is the repeat usage of the app. In any given month, 75% of users are engaging with the app more than once. The stickiness of the app makes it a valuable tool.
How did Folio3 perform from a project management standpoint?
They’re very organized. They use Base Camp to manage their work. Our projects have always been managed well and have stayed on budget.
What did you find most impressive about them?
The level of quality and affordability combined is impressive. You get a lot out of them. They offer a high level of development, quality, and communication for a competitive price.
Are there any areas they could improve?
Overall, I’ve been pretty happy. Sometimes in app development, things stop working because of technology changes made by phone manufacturers. We could be a bit more responsive to addressing challenges that arise after Apple and Android updates.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
Be upfront about what you’re looking for, what your budget is, and you’ll have a quality partner.
