Partnership overview
PrettyLittleThing needed a software development partner with experience in e-commerce development to boost their engineering capabilities. They looked for a company with an Agile mindset that would provide efficient and quick iterative software development. So PrettyLittleThing partnered with N-iX to speed up its software development lifecycle.
N-iX has set up a strong dedicated development team with wide expertise in PHP, JavaScript, and other technologies necessary for successful product delivery. Our team consists of several back-end software developers, a team lead, a QA specialist, and a project manager. Together with the client’s team and other distributed teams, we collaborate on the back-end of the website.
In particular, our tech experts have developed custom functionality for Akeneo, a system that simplifies product information management. We have developed several custom pages on Akeneo that help the procurement team manage and automate product сreation with different attributes. Besides, we cooperate with the client’s team on building shipment, order return, and re-order functionality implemented with the help of AWS Lambda. The scope of our services also comprises manual testing, which includes both iterative and regression testing.
