From the beginning when Scandiweb assisted in the creation of the Candy.com website, through the continual upgrades and patches that have been deployed which positively impacted the site’s infrastructure, and leading the efforts to migrate the web site off of Magento Enterprise to the Community version of Magento, Scandiweb has been an integral part of the IT effort of the organization.
The support offered, especially after hours, has been top notch. The entire staff is responsive, works diligently to keep each ticket updated with the latest findings, actions and next steps; and provides estimates for work efforts to help with budgeting and scheduling.
Throughout the relationship, Scandiweb has provided both a dedicated resource to the account, as well as the rest of their excellent Support Staff. Whichever one was utilized depending on needs, delivered quality work in the timelines promised.
Our company’s future includes Scandiweb as the primary web support team, and we look forward to the continued relationship.

We were a bit leery of going offshore for our Magento dev work as our build is highly customized, but Scandiweb came highly recommended and in the end, over a year later, we are very pleased. Workflow is much more streamlined than what we’re used to and as a result, we’re getting much more done at a fraction of the cost. Smaller, lower priority tickets that never seemed to make it to the top of the queue are actually getting banged out and that feels really good.
My team has found them responsive and highly competent. They’re flexible and bend over backwards to meet our requirements and have come in on schedule and at or under budget on each project.
We just launched four mobile themes with Scandiweb and I couldn’t be more pleased with the end result. I anticipate a long-standing, mutually beneficial relationship, as it should be.

Magento 2 project is a major initiative for Kuru and represents a big step forward for the company. I've overseen other eCommerce re-platform projects with other companies and other development partners, and the experience with Scandiweb so far has been superior across each phase (estimation, requirements gathering, design, development, and project management). Perhaps most critically, the project management function, has really helped us stay on track: the week-to-week communication, thorough documentation of requirements, informative progress updates, clarifying questions, and most especially, the flexibility with which you and the team have approached certain of our evolving and changing requirements.
Perhaps most tellingly, I recently took 2 weeks off work to spend with family, and I had no worries about the progress of the project! :) This has not been true in the past with other replatform / site relaunch projects!
