THE RESULT
“Over a six-month engagement, SmartOSC delivered a new Digital Experience Platform built on Next.js with Sanity CMS, supporting 900+ products and Algolia search integration – designed to serve as the foundation for multiple company websites over time.
Throughout the project, they kept delivery on track while accommodating our requests and providing clear, constructive push-back when needed. That balance of delivery focus and technical judgement made them a strong partner. We’re continuing to work together to evolve and extend the platform.”
