Behind-the-scenes & what’s next

In our previous recap, the Monthly Recap of June, we described that we are establishing a strong foundation for our e-commerce integration infrastructure. The infrastructure is designed in a manner that makes it super scalable for our growth in the future. Having finished a large part of the necessities for a fluent integration with Shopify brands, we were able to optimize the end-user experience as well. 

As we are wrapping up the final bits of the platform before we go live, we are closing in on a version that meets the high standards we have set for ourselves. Both technically and visually, we've made great progress behind the scenes, and we can't wait to share it when the time comes. 

Let's briefly discuss the:

  • Website update

  • Market research for pricing

  • Platform pilots

Website update

With the completion of the first live version of our platform, we can also get to work on expanding our website. Right now, the website consists of a somewhat limited amount of web pages: home, app, company pages, blog and some assets. Without going into too much detail, once the platform is ready for its release, we can start producing some sales pages to shed more light on the ins and outs of how everything works - and more. 

Market research for pricing

We also conducted extensive research to determine the optimal pricing strategy for our software upon its launch, considering the prevailing market conditions. Our team diligently analyzed various factors, including customer preferences, competitor pricing models, industry trends, and cost structures in different scenarios. By thoroughly examining these aspects, we aim to set a competitive yet sustainable price that maximizes the value for our customers while ensuring the long-term success of our product in the dynamic market landscape.

Platform pilots

While we are excited about the upcoming pilots we are planning with our partners, it is important to emphasize that we still have some essential steps to complete first. We will continue to actively test, troubleshoot and stress test the product. Only after we pass all rigorous evaluations will we move forward with onboarding real consumers. Due to the delicate nature of our concept of onboarding a brand's most valuable customers, we are very conscious of the fact that we cannot afford too much room for error. An extensive testing phase is therefore much needed to avoid potentially harmful mistakes in advance. When we launch our platform, we aim for the platform to be as bulletproof as possible. 

Your support and enthusiasm mean a lot to us as we work towards providing the best possible end result. We will keep you informed about our progress, as always, and we can't wait to share the final product with our valued community!
