Faster Delivery, Better Quality: How AI Accelerates Your Projects
We've embedded AI into how we build software - and the benefits flow directly to you. Faster turnaround, higher quality code, and more time spent on what actually matters to your business.
When you commission development work, you want it done well and you want it done promptly. Traditionally, there's been tension between those goals - thorough work takes time, and rushing creates problems.
AI is changing that equation. Here's how we're using it to deliver better results for you, faster.
What AI Means for Your Projects
Over the past year, we've deeply integrated AI into our development workflow. This isn't about cutting corners - it's about eliminating the busy work that slows projects down without adding value.
The result? Features reach your store sooner. Issues get resolved faster and the quality is better.
Faster Turnaround
Development involves a lot of foundational work - setting up database structures, creating API endpoints, building form interfaces. This groundwork is essential but predictable. AI handles these patterns quickly and consistently, freeing our developers to focus on the unique aspects of your project.
When you request a new feature, more of our time goes into understanding your needs and crafting the right solution, less into typing out boilerplate code.
Higher Quality Code
AI catches mistakes that humans miss. During development, AI reviews code for potential issues - security vulnerabilities, performance problems, edge cases that could cause bugs. These get caught and fixed before they ever reach your site.
The result is fewer bugs in production, which means less disruption to your business and less time spent on fixes later.
More Thorough Testing
Every feature we build includes testing. AI helps generate comprehensive test cases, including scenarios that might not be obvious at first glance. Your features get tested more thoroughly, reducing the chance of issues appearing after launch.
Real Impact: The Customer Portal
We put these principles into practice building the customer portal we launched recently. A platform of this scope - 26+ modules including ticketing, time tracking, website monitoring, document management, and AI-powered features - would traditionally represent a massive undertaking.
Traditional estimates for a platform of this scope would suggest 2,000+ hours of development.
We delivered it in circa 1000.
That efficiency didn't come from cutting features or rushing the work. It came from AI handling the routine elements while our team focused on getting the details right.
It's worth noting: this was a greenfield project built on a modern stack. Magento development is different - it's a large, mature platform with its own patterns and complexities. AI still helps, but the gains are more modest. We see meaningful improvements in efficiency, but not the dramatic acceleration possible when building something new from scratch.
What This Means for You
The benefits of our AI-enhanced development process flow directly to you:
Faster time to market for new features. When you need something added to your store, it happens sooner. Your business moves faster.
Better value for money. When we're more efficient, we can deliver more within your budget. The same investment gets you further.
Higher quality releases. More thorough testing and AI-assisted code review mean fewer issues reaching your live site. Less disruption, more confidence.
Competitive features. Capabilities that might have been too expensive or time-consuming before become achievable. Your store can do things your competitors can't.
Quality Remains Human
It's important to understand what AI does and doesn't do in our process.
AI handles the mechanical aspects of development - the patterns, the boilerplate, the routine checks. It's excellent at this work, consistent and fast.
But understanding your business, designing the right solution, and making judgment calls about trade-offs - that remains human work. Our team brings experience, creativity, and understanding of eCommerce that AI simply can't replicate.
Think of AI as a powerful tool that makes our developers more effective, not a replacement for their expertise.
The Future of Your Projects
We're continuing to expand how we use AI in development. As the technology improves, so does our ability to deliver for you.
What won't change is our focus on your outcomes. AI is valuable only insofar as it helps us serve you better - faster delivery, higher quality, better value. That's the measure we care about.
In the next post, we'll look at another way AI benefits you directly: smarter support ticket handling that gets your issues resolved faster.
