RESOURCES

Anyone already running e-commerce successfully often faces the challenge that the growing number of pending, business-relevant tasks regularly exceeds internal capacity, and possibly an agency's capacity too. Even when the necessary know-how is in place and it is largely clear what needs to be done, there are simply not enough people to deliver the tasks coming up at short notice.

The problem for many retailers is their employer brand in the technical world: they are often not an attractive employer for engineers. The culture, environment and way of working at many retailers does not match what the young technical elite is looking for. Talent has to be bought in at high cost, but is then not retained for long. The result: at best you find mediocre developers at high cost, a lot of effort and little return for retailers in a fiercely contested talent market. The price-performance ratio just does not add up.

Because that is exactly the sweet spot of Shopmacher Resources. We help ambitious digitizers with sustained, high development demand build their own development team (from 3 FTE). We staff the starting team based on concrete requirements, take care of onboarding and on-site management, and advise you on workflow and integration management from Germany. Once your team is running really well, you can take it over completely if you want to.

Why do we know how this works? We have been working with developers from Asia since 2016 and now run 2 locations with a total of 25 colleagues in Vietnam, seamlessly integrated into our intercontinental development teams.
