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

Uncap helped bring our vision for a new website to life. They successfully guided us through the migration from an outdated Drupal platform to Shopify, delivering a modern, user-friendly experience with significant improvements to both UX and UI. As a dental company, providing professional and educational content is a top priority, and the Uncap team quickly understood our goals and requirements.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Throughout the project, the Uncap team was responsive, knowledgeable, and committed to finding solutions to complex challenges. The development of our new ERP system was occurring alongside the website project, which introduced delays and required adjustments to our launch timeline. Uncap was incredibly flexible throughout the process, working closely with us as we aligned the website launch with ERP readiness. Their team remained supportive, proactive, and dedicated every step of the way, helping us navigate challenges while keeping the project moving forward.

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

Uncap provided a dedicated project manager who guided us through every phase of the project and kept everything organized and on track. We also worked closely with a lead developer, designer, and account manager, giving us access to the expertise needed at every stage. During the initial phases of the project, we met multiple times per week to ensure alignment and momentum, eventually transitioning to a structured weekly meeting cadence as the project progressed. For day-to-day collaboration, Uncap utilized ClickUp to manage tasks and project communication, which provided excellent visibility into project status and deliverables. In addition, their team was always accessible by email and consistently responded quickly to questions, feedback, and emerging needs. Their communication and project management made it easy to stay informed and confident throughout the engagement.

What was your primary form of communication with Uncap?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

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

What impressed me most about Uncap was their ability to truly immerse themselves in our industry and understand the needs of our customers. Dentistry is a highly specialized field, and communicating the value of our products requires a deep understanding of both clinical workflows and customer expectations. Despite the complexity of our industry, the Uncap team quickly developed a strong grasp of our business and consistently provided thoughtful recommendations backed by market research, industry best practices, and ecommerce expertise. Their ability to combine strategic insight with a genuine understanding of our audience played a significant role in the success of the project.

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

It's tough to pick one thing. They are professsional, knowledgeable, and friendly. Though if I have to pick one thing, I'd say that unlike other agencies, you can feel that they really care about delivering the best product possible.

No.

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

Our website had gone through a history of 3 agencies so we knew the quality on the backend. Our last agency that specialized in Magento was wonderful (beginning 2 were not so great) but we wanted to move away Magento due to the continuous updates and security patches needed to maintain the website. Shopify offered a more user friendly solution with less friction and apps with easy installation that doesn't require a dev team to implement; so we landed on Shopify. We needed migration of over 12 years of data and over 2900 products with correct redirects without losing invested SEO. The team provided design for UIUX within 2 weeks of signing on the project and migrated everything over within 3.5 months. They were on time with their deliverables as promised and the final project looks amazing. We are still working out some kinks that were discovered post launch which they had been super patient with. The team at Uncap always responded timely and answered questions with professionalism. Highly recommend!

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

There was a detailed outline of timeline from design to data migration that was presented. The team was able to deliver within their promised timeline. The delays were due to our unexpected occurrences from our end. 

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

Yes, the project manager Andy is very professional and detailed.

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

This may sound odd but not a fan of the program they use Click up Notifications or Marker.io . This is more of a personal preference. I find the programs cumbersome and not so intuitive. I prefer the platform Teamwork but again this is personal preference.

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

Our website needed to be a B2B site but also not gatekept and open to the public. We required tiered pricing for our signed in customers as well as quotes and credit limit use for checkout. Uncap was able to accomodate all of these requirements and more with Shopify out of box, apps as well as one iPaaS connector company we utilized to connect our ERP. Uncap delivered the UX, development and testing on time and any delays on launch were either internal or with outside agencies. 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Uncap was able to deliver on all needs and most wants of the project. Any delays were either due to an App or outside vendor or our internal delays. Uncap took a complex business model and set of requirements and delivered them in an uncoventional platform of Shopify Plus that we chose for multiple reasons. Before even starting the project, Denis at Uncap, went through each of my requirements and laid out if it was doable, if it was native to Shopify, if it required an app and which one they recommend, or if custom work was needed. Uncap was recommended by Shopify, and we couldn't be happier. 

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

Uncap laid out the timeline and project in a PM tool that was tracked and recorded daily as well as having weekly meetings on the status of the project. Their response time on any question, concern or issue was within a business day.

What was your primary form of communication with Uncap?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

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

Uncap not only knows B2B and Shopify Plus well, but they outlined the project and did not "nickle and dime" us on anything that came up along the way. They found unique solutions to our challenging needs. There was never talk about things being out of scope like other agencies will do and didn't put a cutoff on feedback or UAT issues discovered. We had a great Project Manager, Adam and Denis, the Founder & Pricipal, was always available for a call or email. 

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

No improvements to speak of.

We contracted with Uncap to create a brand new ecommerce store because we were maxing out our previous store on a out-dated platform. They helped us understand what the problems were going to be in making this change, how to handle them, and hand-held us through the whole process.

Uncap has partnered with us on development of three Shopify based websites, Ovationriding.com, our B2B, and Centaur Ranch. Each project was unique.  Ovation Riding was building the D2C site of an existing brand. It was a complex portfolio and our internal systems and data organization tools were antiquated.  The deliverables included creating a seamless shopping experience and a premium brand experience for the consumer.  Uncap delivered a fully functional site within 4 months. They then took on the building of our B2B site which encompasses 14,000 unique skus across 57 brands. They delivered this project in 6 months and our customers are thrilled with the results.  Finally, they built a D2C site for a brand new brand in our portfolio in four months.

Success was defined by hitting timelines, quality of content, and minimal rounds of revisions.

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

I first spoke with Denis who was able to quickly drill down on our requirements, offer solutions and return a very reasonable quote. Once we were underway, I dealt with Adam, my dedicated project manager. Adam kept the project running with weekly meetings as well as constant email communication. I was provided with a timeline within my proposal and the UNCAP team stuck to it. 

The few delays experienced with my project all stemmed from dealing with the limitations of my older ERP and tax integration, not the UNCAP team. Both Adam and Jack (one of the developers) consistently delivered on function requests, like dropship functionality for our wholesale customers, custom pricing displays and a customized portal for B2B resources.

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

Shopify is markedly different than any other platform I've worked with, but both Adam and Denis demonstrated a deep understanding of working within the Shopify ecosystem from the get-go, which in turn helped me tremendously with aligning the new site with our older business model and work flows. Adam seemingly had a solution for every issue we came across, and if he didn't have one immediately, he was only a few days away from figuring something out. 

He has been truly unflappable throughout the entire process. Jo, the designer on my project, very quickly turned around a clean and minimal design that had so much more than the traditional lorem ipsum all over the place. She and her team dug up our old photos and content to create a site that tells a story about the company, the product, and the lifestyle. It was really impressive and only required a few very minor changes.

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

I have plenty of suggestions for Shopify, but not for UNCAP. They delivered.
