Project Summary

STX Next used a prior MVP and technologies including Python, Django, SQL and AWS to build and maintain a data-driven retail platform, delivering six complex APIs, a CMS, a data management system and a browser extension. The engagement included a 30-day knowledge-transfer period and ongoing product ownership, enabling weekly feature releases, strong QA practices, and improved transparency for the client.

Key Challenges

  • High development costs in London prompted exploration of offshore options
  • Needed a team experienced in Python and Agile methodologies
  • Required stronger product ownership than previous providers
  • Needed to reduce costs while maintaining quality and increasing productivity

Project Deliverables

  • AWS-hosted web platform built from previous MVP
  • Six complex APIs for marketing transaction networks
  • Centralized data management and standardization system
  • CMS for magazine/blog and deal publishing
  • Browser extension to remind users to apply vouchers
  • Tracking and affiliate network integration to follow purchases to final sale

Project Solution

STX Next used the existing MVP and technologies (Python, Django, SQL) to rebuild and host the platform on Amazon Web Services. They conducted a 30-day exchange and knowledge-transfer, assumed product ownership, improved backend reliability, and added features. They developed six complex APIs to integrate marketing transactions and affiliate networks, implemented a CMS and data management system to standardize and present data, and built a browser extension to assist users at checkout.

Project Outcome

  • Data-driven tracking and analytics enabled informed feature development
  • Consistent weekly feature releases and high development velocity
  • Improved business efficiency and user engagement tracking
  • Ability to track purchases through affiliate networks to the final sale
