    In coordination with our IT department, Zagaran built our e-commerce website. They used a bit of the code from our previous website but most of the code wasn’t up to par. Their team basically trashed what we had to build a website that was up to speed.

    Zagaran serves as our agency partner for the development resources. They gather the requirements and plan out the process. We give them designs and they work through the front- and backend integration; they use AngularJS for the frontend and Ruby on Rails for the backend. They created a staging site so we can test everything out. Then they fix any bugs so we can ultimately deploy the live updates.

    Our first project with Zagaran was fairly straightforward. We provided local Python scripts that they built into a Django app. The finished product is an internal tool, so the UI is basically nonexistent. This facilitated a quick development process.After a successful first project, we hired them to be our primary software development team. In addition to our product design app, they’ve taken over the development of our fulfillment and manufacturing app.

    They’re really efficient and they definitely know what they’re doing. They’re very systematic and methodical in gathering the information they need and making sure they have it right. They figure out what the problem is and come up with a few very clear options to move forward. That was very helpful for us. We met in person and used phone and Skype, but mainly communication was through email.

    In less than a month, Zagaran was able to correct the mistakes of the previous provider, delivering a solution that had an instrumental impact on the platform’s success. Along the way, the team was extremely personable, thoughtful, and responsive, fitting in as an extension of the internal team.
