"Avex understood what we were trying to achieve and worked tirelessly to help us in our (incredibly rapid!) transition. It was clear that the company's expertise and connection with Shopify was remarkably strong, and we appreciated the leadership in guiding the process while also being flexible to suit our unique business needs."
“When we decided to become a real business, we came back to Shopify. The reason that we exist as a business is so that we can execute the mission and have the tech get out of the way. We need it to be easy—I didn’t get into this business because I’ve got a high tech background, I got into it because I come from a sales background and I have a heart. I need to be able to look at conversion rates and reports easily so I can figure out what to do next, and I can do that with Shopify Plus.”
"We needed a platform that wouldn't just support our ambitions—but drive them forward."
"For me, the choice was clear; considering my previous experience and the fact that Shopify is a pillar in the direct consumer space gave me the conviction to go with it, especially since we were aiming to sell —something the Shopify platform is well-designed to handle."
"I've used many other ecommerce platforms throughout my career, and I'd rarely take a vacation. Every time I did, things would go wrong. We'd get hacked, or the site would go down. I'd be fixing issues on my phone in Mexico. Moving Upscale Audio to Shopify was my first order of business."
"Shopify Plus is ideal for ease of use. For an agile company like ours, it's really quick and simple just to go in and make a change within a matter of minutes, without paying external developers. Everything's just plug and play. Two weeks ago, we were in a meeting and decided we should start taking cryptocurrency, and within one hour, we were accepting it as payment."
"We already loved Shopify, so we went with Shopify Plus because we knew the ease of implementation and we had trust in the platform. We also know Shopify has a burning desire to remain number one in the market when there's so much competition out there, so we feel confident we are getting the best and latest implementations."
"Everything you need is in one place and easy to control—that’s probably the best thing about Shopify Plus. Having tools like Shopify Markets native within Shopify that anybody can set up, even if you’re not a developer, has helped us grow our business."
"Shopify allows us to break free from the restrictions of third-party platform rules and constraints. It gives us greater autonomy and freedom, allowing us to easily deploy and optimize new features so we can focus on building an international brand."
"Following a change in ownership of our company, we tasked JC+CO with a digital-first transformation of our business. Among other things, they recommended and implemented a full site replatform to Shopify Plus. We saw significant revenue impact, and were also able to quickly tap into Shopify’s app ecosystem to improve front-end as well as back-of-house operations."
"Shopify Plus was like an Excel spreadsheet; we didn’t realize how much it could do until we started exploring its features. And with a combination of clearer access to our numbers and support of our merchant success manager, we have been able to make a series of changes, elevating our online experience for both retail and trade customers."
"We always want to be first to test or first mover."
“The user interface didn’t look very pretty and wasn’t very easy for stock management. It was difficult for us to create collections for wholesalers to see what was in stock. It wasn’t very user friendly.”
"We can be flexible with Shopify Plus—[we can] pivot, be responsive, put offers up. At the enterprise level, that is quite unusual."
"By migrating to Shopify Plus, we saved 60% on monthly costs compared to the ecommerce solution we were using before. And with Shopify's extremely high level of automation, we were able to significantly increase the productivity of our e-commerce team and rapidly optimize our processes for success."
