"Going global was only for big companies with deep pockets. But with Shopify, the game changes. A small company sitting in a small village can access customers around the world."
"We were happy with the reliability of our existing Shopify store, but wanted to take that to the next level. The online experience didn't properly reflect our brand, and the increasing amount of manual tasks we had to perform to run it were too time-consuming."
"Our cost for developers was quite high whenever we wanted to make changes on our website. Shopify allows us to do that ourselves and it’s easy."
"With Shopify, we can access a whole host of integrations and features without spending a lot of time. Finding the right features to meet the unique needs of our business, such as restricting users to order a limited quantity of flash sale items, and managing high concurrent traffic without thinking about server management, means that we can quickly see results and ROI on the platform functionality."
"When you have disjointed systems, it can be frustrating for customers and staff. Customers today expect the ability to do things like in-store returns for online purchases, and associates need easy access to a customer's full purchase history. You need the right technology to get those things right."
"On Shopify we could make 30 deployments in a week if needed. We can publish a new promotion or marketing moment on our website and make five deployments in an hour."
"We had an integrated solution and we built that integration ourselves in-house."
"Up until our move to Shopify, we have been an entirely custom, kind of homegrown e-commerce build."
"Due to limitations with the ERP integration, we spent many hours fixing sync issues and could not offer our B2B customers an exceptional user experience."
"We faced many challenges with our previous platform. Developing new features was slow, costly, and highly resource-intensive. Every change request meant pulling in developers, testing, debugging. It just wasn’t sustainable for the scale we needed. With Shopify, we don’t have to worry about those things."
"Sweetmag’s technical audit for MR DIY made it clear we were dealing with underperforming infrastructure. Shopify made sense as the answer to our problems because it's fast, intuitive, and puts control back in the hands of the marketing and ecommerce teams."
"Shop helped amplify PLAY with bold out-of-home and in-person moments that made the retail experience feel bigger and more dynamic."
“We would find a company that had an integration with BigCommerce, and then they’d come back and say only 50% of what they offer actually works. It was frustrating.”
"If we can't be innovative, if we can't be agile, if we can't really create anything new for our customers, it felt like there was a catalyst for change right there."
"When you've got such a big portfolio of brands, standardisation and simplification is everything. If you've got 19 brands using 19 different technologies, you're never going to get anywhere. The biggest problem Brand Collective had to solve was around alignment and the standardisation that could enable it."
