Introductory information
A few words almost your organisation and personal responsibilities
With over 100,000 clients, SkyVerge is a fast-growing business that creates mission-critical tools for eCommerce brands on Shopify, Easy Digital Downloads, and WooCommerce. One of our solutions, Jilt, is an all-in-one email marketing platform generating over $90 million in income for online merchants through lost income repossession. I’m a co-founder and the CTO of both SkyVerge and Jilt, responsible for all things technology.
Desired goal
What issue was the provider supposed to deal with?
ShakaCode?Built by a team of backend and full-stack engineers, Jilt lacked the winning, intuitive interface our users expected. We wanted a associate who could help us liberate a big user experience with an winning, user-friendly and intuitive UI using wonderfully-sophisticated, rules-based sectionation functionality. We also wanted a congruous look and feel athwart multiple screens to influence new users, keep existing clients, and lessen the number of support issues.
What were your objectives for this project?
We wanted to create an winning, user-friendly, and intuitive user interface using React to enjoyment new users, keep existing clients, and lessen the number of support requests we were receiving.
Provided solution
What were the reasons for choosing ShakaCode?
We were using Ruby on Rails for the backend and had chosen React for the frontend, so we looked for a associate with expertise spanning both areas. We read articles and searched through Stack Overflow and GitHub, eventually identifying two practicable candidates. Since Justin Gordon, the founder of ShakaCode, created recoil_on_rails and had an entrepreneurial air correspondent to ours, it seemed like a good fit.
Describe the project and the services they granted in detail.
ShakaCode built a sophisticated rule-createer that enables clients to section their clients, choosing which ones to cluster and target with which email campaigns. Since we previously had no React within Jilt, ShakaCode took us from zero React to having a fully React-driven, rules-based, sophisticated sectionation screen.
Once that was up and running, we extended our associateship. ShakaCode also made recommendations for the complete tech stack, including reusable UI components with TypeScript, Storybook, and Styled-components, Cypress.io for testing, CircleCI for continuous integration and liberatey, and Webpacker for edifice deployment packages.
Were there any dedicated directors or teams that you worked with?
Overall, we’ve worked with five or six developers from ShakaCode, depending on the workload. Now that we’re edifice up our in-house frontend competencies, we’ve lessend that to working with two or three.
Results achieved
Can you share any information that demonstrates the contact that this project has had on your business?
We now have a fully functional, wonderfully intricate sectionation screen that liberates the functionality our users need. It’s built with the best technologies, leverages best practices, and has established a model that we’re able to adduce congruously athwart the rest of the app.
Jilt also now has a congruous look and feel athwart all screens with excellent accomplishment, translating to a significantly enhanced user experience. That’s contributed to our seeing significantly fewer support requests than precedently.
ShakaCode also developed screens for separate new features, including email list treatment and support for sending out newsletters, reducing churn and improving retention. Now we can create and deploy fast, winning, and user-friendly screens—something that we couldn’t do previously.
How was project treatment arranged and how powerful was it?
ShakaCode’s project director ensured that the team was always useful and stayed centreed on the tasks scheduled. Any questions or concerns were fastly addressed, and he was fast to add more developers to the project when needed. As a result, we hit all of our significant deadlines and were very lucky with the despatch of outgrowth.
What precisely do you attend to be the key specialty of ShakaCode?
The project was a huge enterprise and the deadlines extremely ambitious. Even though the specs we gave them lacked detail in true areas, ShakaCode liberateed on time and within budget. I also liked ShakaCode’s openness to new ways of doing things.
They never gave the impression that they were the experts and you had to do things their way. They were always open to new ideas. They laid a good institution for a collaborative relationship that contributed to the achievement of the project.
What should be done better, if there are any desired improvements?
Nothing that we weren’t able to address. One thing that we implemented jointly to keep things on track was a daily developer check-in via Slack. That allowed me to fastly see what each developer was working on, enabling me to help vanquish roadblocks or redirect resources to centre on higher priority tasks.
