Shopify

Antadis is now a certified Shopify Plus integrator partner!

We are now authorized Shopify Plus integrator partners, adding a vital string to our bow: as a technology-agnostic e-commerce agency, this collaboration reinforces our commitment to offering our customers the most relevant solutions to grow their online business and provide their users with exceptional shopping experiences.

Why Shopify?

Over and above Shopify's considerable reputation in our field, our decision to include the solution in our response panel was based on pragmatic arguments. Voted leader in Gartner's Magic Quadrant 2023, Shopify has long been considered the lightweight, affordable proposition for starting up a commerce business, with an unrivalled time-to-market. In recent years, this promise has been complemented by a sustained approach to innovation, with a roadmap of evolutions in tune with the needs of its customers, but also nourished by feedback from integrator agencies. A virtuous circle we applaud. As a result, our scope has grown considerably, and we now have the full range required to meet the needs of our more mature e-commerce customers: pure players, retailers, B2C brands and B2B companies with digital sales of between 1 and 250 million.

And while we're at it: why Antadis on Shopify?

In 2024, you can no longer improvise yourself as an e-commerce agency: the business stakes for companies go far beyond the simple implementation of a theme and the creative work of a front-end reflecting the brand image you wish to propose (as one former creative director put it...). It's also our job to ensure that technology is simplified, and to help you identify the right business solutions. So why talk tech when Shopify's promise is to simplify things? How does an e-commerce agency with a (very) techy DNA contribute to Shopify projects?

Here's our answer.

Most customers who migrate to Shopify cite the technical difficulties encountered on other platforms: heavy projects with low velocity, development and release cycles that are too slow, with repeated bugs in flows and data reliability... But who to blame? The solution, the agency or both? We believe that, normally, a technically sound agency will ensure the reliability of the data flow, whatever your e-commerce solution. And it's the same with Shopify! The agency will have to make sure that your feeds work, that you don't experience any downtime or regression each time you go online, that Shopify's automatic updates are guaranteed, and that the apps developed for the specific business resist these version upgrades.

Let's take a look at projects with an omnichannel dimension. The most basic of these involve setting up a POS and offering e-reservations in a concept store. This level of project is accessible to just about any agency. More complex is the case of retailers with a large network of stores and a central warehouse: how do you manage product availability? How should in-store stock and orders be orchestrated? Should orders be split? How do you do all this in shopify? Clearly, it's best to avoid discovering these business logics and their technical impact on the fly, to the detriment of the project, and end up with a redesign that takes a beating. As a specialized agency, our role is to anticipate these business challenges and respond to them, notably through technical solutions, to guarantee the success of the project. To give our customers the benefit of our experience and knowledge of e-commerce and its processes, so that they don't get their feet stuck in the carpet, by anticipating any problems that may arise. By asking the right questions upstream or during the project - whatever the solution, because these issues are agnostic.

That's why, with over 20 projects under Shopify, including 5 under Shopify Plus (Les Néréides, Sans Complexe, Nuxe, Balaboosté, Lollipops), and over 20 years' experience of replatforming and e-commerce runs, we feel it's appropriate to offer our experience to companies with projects to replatform to Shopify, and to unroll together the thread of their challenges of connection to the IS, omnichannelity, internationality, Brand eXperience and, of course, continuous improvement of their CX. As Shopify Plus customers become larger and more structured, with increasingly complex businesses and architectures, it's interesting for them to have a partner like Antadis Group for their large-scale digital projects.
