Shopify Sync Platform
We developed a seamless integration between a Shopify store and a Vue.js application, enabling real-time synchronization of products, collections, and orders. The goal was to create a dynamic and responsive frontend experience while maintaining a robust connection to Shopify’s backend. This solution was tailored to enhance e-commerce operations by automating product updates, enabling live order tracking, and streamlining inventory management.

Project Challenges
- Ensuring real-time synchronization between the Shopify backend and Vue.js frontend.
- Managing frequent product updates and inventory changes with minimal latency.
- Delivering a fast, responsive user interface that adapts to real-time data.
- Handling order tracking and checkout-related data securely and efficiently.

The Process
Fast, Structured Onboarding
We began with joint workshops and onboarding sessions to align the teams on objectives, timelines, and workflows laying the foundation for smooth and seamless collaboration from the very start.
Agile Execution for Rapid Progress
By applying Agile methodology, we broke the migration into manageable workstreams, enabling our team to operate independently while reducing the need for continuous coordination.
24-Hour Workflow for Maximum Productivity
We transformed time zone differences into an advantage. The Polish team completed tasks and submitted approval requests during their workday, which the San Francisco team reviewed and responded to as their day began. This seamless handoff created a continuous feedback loop, accelerating development and virtually eliminating downtime.
Independent Work Model for Faster Delivery
The project was organized into self-contained components, enabling the team to move quickly and independently, avoiding bottlenecks and significantly shortening the migration timeline.
