Challenges & solutions
Identifying market problems
On daily basis, company faces different challenges of the PoD and fulfillment market.
Their customers demand the ease of use of the platform to focus mainly on store and product creating and selling. In order give the customers the right tools, we had to analyze the market and some must-have features of the application.
Strategy and scalability
Market needs evolve, and the print-on-demand market is no exception.
To ensure the application meets stakeholders’ business needs and is scalable for future development, we integrated essential services like Smake, Stripe, PayPal, GoShippo, TaxJar, and USPS to streamline production, payments, taxes, and shipping management.
Designing the product
One of the most important tools in this market is the product creator, where users choose from default “blank” products and add a design, specifying decoration method and print placement.
We knew that the product creator had to be both easy to use and rich in different customization options. For products base, we utilized product integrations like Sanmar, Alphabroder, and S&S Activewear.
Designing the store
Setting up a store is the proper beginning of user’s journey across the app.
Making sure that it looks good is the next step, so building and customizing the store had to be easy and fun. Coming up with a layout of the store designer that is easy to understand and navigate was our challenge.
Deliverables
“Our experience with Yax has been one with a very strong relationship. There is much transparency on a day to day basis and we depend on them to produce a spectacular product we can be proud of and continue to build over time.”
