Tech Challenges
-
MVP
An MVP for us was more than a kit of useful features. It was a challenge in organizing ideas, goals, tools, and solutions to transform them into a first version of the platform that could give our customers all they need.
-
Stack and tools
On the one hand, we needed a stack and tools for a quick start because the time to market is a crucial factor in e-commerce, and on the other hand, it should be good in the long run as scalability is the second most important future-proof factor.
Delivery
For the MVP stage we implemented:
- product catalog
- SWAG product builder
- checkout
- order processing flow
Now
We’re constantly improving our platform to give customers all the power in the world to shop, store and ship the best swag and gifts around. So tons of features are used for automating and simplifying the entire swag buying and managing process.
Swag in a Box
The fun way to onboard new hires and show employees or favorite clients how much you care is by sending them the good stuff in a box.
Swag Distribution
An ability to easily manage and distribute all of your swag from one central portal. Allows sending swag to one location or thousands of locations at once.
