About the Client
Boost Internet GmbH is a digital agency providing comprehensive online solutions for businesses. They specialise in e-commerce development, web design and online marketing.

About the project
KUNSTLOFT operates on a Shopware e-commerce platform, utilising custom-built internal tools and legacy websites. The project involved enhancing and expanding this platform with new features, plugins, themes, and marketplace integrations. It also included improving existing functionalities and adding new business logic to their custom Yii2 tools.
Aims & Challenges
KUNSTLOFT required an increase in their development capacity to maintain pace with growth and market demands. They encountered difficulties in sourcing and recruiting qualified local developers and sought a cost-effective solution that would integrate seamlessly with their existing team and processes. The ideal solution necessitated developers with expertise in Shopware, Yii2, and various web technologies, prioritising efficient communication and collaboration for remote development.
Approach and Methodology
FlexMade integrated a team of experienced developers into Boost Internet's existing structure. The team comprised senior and junior developers, along with a dedicated QA resource. Agile methodologies were employed, using Scrum for project management and Jira for task tracking. Regular communication and collaboration were facilitated through Google Meet and GitHub. FlexMade actively contributed to process optimisation, leveraging their extensive experience to suggest improvements.

Client feedback
Hendrik Grallert
Our collaboration has been seamless and without friction from the outset. I've previously had time-consuming and awkward experiences with smaller companies and freelancers, but FlexMade rapidly integrated into our team. They communicate clearly and collaborate with us via Google Meet, Jira and GitHub. Beyond utilising these tools and processes, they've drawn upon their experience to offer suggestions to help us optimise them. There have been no significant issues to date, and minor issues are resolved promptly. Overall, we've benefited considerably from their suggestions, particularly with regard to scrum processes.
