Invest More In Business
Sometimes, the Minimum Viable Product (MVP) is not enough – BSSCommerce tried to release an extension with minimum features. However, we received feedback from our clients that they want to add a few important features. The lesson learned is we have to invest more in the business analysis area.
Become Worldwide Popular Magento AgencyÂ
Established when the Magento market had a lot of big names, BSSCommerce became one of the leading Magento extension providers in just four years. We are the first and the only company in the APAC region, with the additional status of Magento Solution Partner and Magento Technology (Extension Builder) partner.
Why Magento?
Magento is an open-source platform so it is flexible enough to be integrated with third-party tools such as payment methods, shipping, tracking, etc. The platform has a huge community of developers and users, so in case of an issue, you can ask and get help from experts. Magento provides a rich set of features that makes it a great platform for everyone.
The Process of Building an Amazing Ecommerce Solution
The success of our customers is our success – we focus on requirements and feedback from our customers when developing a new extension.
Our creative process covers all important bases such as:
- Collect the requirement/feedback from our customers
- Do the market research to understand the demand
- Confirm, discuss with other departments about the extension, collect ideas and feedback
- Have a wireframe for extension
- Discuss, work with the developer team to divide the process into different phrases, testing, release
- Wrap up, give user guide to other departments
- After-sales service: collect feedback from customers, prepare for updates/ next phase
