Project Summary

STX Next provides ongoing outsourced development support for a multi-channel marketplace, handling bug fixes, improvements and new feature development. Their team (an account manager plus developers) maintains the platform, learns new vendor tools (Cubic) as needed, and responds proactively to emergencies including out-of-hours support. Communication is professional and conducted via Slack and Trello, enabling smooth onboarding and transitions.

Key Challenges

  • Outsource all development to a single vendor to avoid coordinating multiple vendors
  • Improve and maintain an existing multi-channel marketplace platform

Project Deliverables

  • Design dashboard for brands to upload portfolio items
  • Bug fixes and maintenance for the marketplace
  • New feature development for the marketplace
  • Ongoing development support and account management

Project Solution

STX Next handles all development support for the client's custom multi-channel marketplace, resolving bugs, delivering new features and maintaining the live site. The team works primarily with Python and JavaScript and learned the client's Cubic tooling to implement features. An account manager coordinates with the client's CTO and the vendor scaled the engineering team from one to two developers to meet needs.

  • Available to address technical emergencies and downtime, including out-of-hours support
