A Forward-thinking Agency for a Fast-growing Business
Portwest chose iWeb because of our strategic and forward-thinking approach as well as our vast experience with Akeneo PIM. Because iWeb has architected, deployed, and currently supports more successful Akeneo PIMs than any other agency and UK partner, Portwest was confident we could deliver the complexities of their project.
The Product Experience (Px)
iWeb created and architected a product experience that supports all of the Portwest products. Like many iWeb clients, Portwests digital vision and product information is inherent to their business. It was crucial that the team at iWeb understood the vision and delivered on a truly on-brand product experience.
“iWeb have been instrumental in the adoption and integration of the Akeneo PIM in to our organisation and systems. They always offer reasoned advice and solutions to business challenges that we required the system to help us deal with. They have ensured the tools and customisations done by them are done in the best and more efficient way as well as ensuring they are compatible with the platforms upgrade path. They respond very quickly when we have encountered time critical challenges that needed their assistance. I would not hesitate in recommending the iWeb team, solutions, and services.”
Joe Banks, Head of Digital Development, Portwest
